A Dual Domain Robust Reversible Watermarking Algorithm for Frame Grouping Videos Using Scene Smoothness

The proposed robust reversible watermarking algorithm addresses the compatibility challenges between robustness and reversibility in existing video watermarking techniques by leveraging scene smoothness for frame grouping videos.Grounded in the H.264 video coding standard,the algorithm first employs traditional robust watermark stitching technology to embed watermark information in the low-frequency coefficient domain of the U channel.Subsequently,it utilizes histogram migration techniques in the high-frequency coefficient domain of the U channel to embed auxiliary information,enabling successful watermark extraction and lossless recovery of the original video content.Experimental results demonstrate the algorithm’s strong imperceptibility,with each embedded frame in the experimental videos achieving a mean peak signal-to-noise ratio of 49.3830 dB and a mean structural similarity of 0.9996.Compared with the three comparison algorithms,the performance of the two experimental indexes is improved by 7.59%and 0.4%on average.At the same time,the proposed algorithm has strong robustness to both offline and online attacks:In the face of offline attacks,the average normalized correlation coefficient between the extracted watermark and the original watermark is 0.9989,and the average bit error rate is 0.0089.In the face of online attacks,the normalized correlation coefficient between the extracted watermark and the original watermark is 0.8840,and the mean bit error rate is 0.2269.Compared with the three comparison algorithms,the performance of the two experimental indexes is improved by 1.27%and 18.16%on average,highlighting the algorithm’s robustness.Furthermore,the algorithm exhibits low computational complexity,with the mean encoding and the mean decoding time differentials during experimental video processing being 3.934 and 2.273 s,respectively,underscoring its practical utility.

Machine learning based online fault prognostics for nonstationary industrial process via degradation feature extraction and temporal smoothness analysis

Fault degradation prognostic, which estimates the time before a failure occurs and process breakdowns, has been recognized as a key component in maintenance strategies nowadays. Fault degradation processes are, in general,slowly varying and can be modeled by autoregressive models. However, industrial processes always show typical nonstationary nature, which may bring two challenges: how to capture fault degradation information and how to model nonstationary processes. To address the critical issues, a novel fault degradation modeling and online fault prognostic strategy is developed in this paper. First, a fault degradation-oriented slow feature analysis(FDSFA) algorithm is proposed to extract fault degradation directions along which candidate fault degradation features are extracted. The trend ability assessment is then applied to select major fault degradation features. Second, a key fault degradation factor(KFDF) is calculated to characterize the fault degradation tendency by combining major fault degradation features and their stability weighting factors. After that, a time-varying regression model with temporal smoothness regularization is established considering nonstationary characteristics. On the basis of updating strategy, an online fault prognostic model is further developed by analyzing and modeling the prediction errors. The performance of the proposed method is illustrated with a real industrial process.

Smoothness Prior Approach for Spectral Smoothing and Baseline Correction

Smoothness prior approach for spectral smoothing is investigated using Fourier frequency filter analysis.We show that the regularization parameter in penalized least squares could continuously control the bandwidth of low-pass filter.Besides,due to its property of interpolating the missing values automatically and smoothly,a spectral baseline correction algorithm based on the approach is proposed.This algorithm generally comprises spectral peak detection and baseline estimation.First,the spectral peak regions are detected and identified according to the second derivatives.Then,generalized smoothness prior approach combining identification information could estimate the baseline in peak regions.Results with both the simulated and real spectra show accurate baseline-corrected signals with this method.

Let h, be a measurable function defined on R^＋ ×R^＋. Let Ω ∈ L（log L^＋）^υq （S^n1-1 × S^n2-1） （1≤ υq ≤ 2） be homogeneous of degree zero and satisfy certain cancellation conditions.

Greedy Algorithm in m-Term Approximation for Periodic Besov Class with Mixed Smoothness

Nonlinear m-term approximation plays an important role in machine learning, signal processing and statistical estimating. In this paper by means of a nondecreasing dominated function, a greedy adaptive compression numerical algorithm in the best m -term approximation with regard to tensor product wavelet-type basis is pro-posed. The algorithm provides the asymptotically optimal approximation for the class of periodic functions with mixed Besov smoothness in the L q norm. Moreover, it depends only on the expansion of function f by tensor pro-duct wavelet-type basis, but neither on q nor on any special features of f.

SMOOTHNESS INDICATOR OF WENO SCHEME FOR RESOLVING SHORT WAVE

Based on the traditional fifth-order weighted essentially non-oscillatory(WENO)scheme,a smoothness indicator is introduced to improve the capability of WENO schemes for resolving short waves.In the construction of the new smoothness indicator,the proportion of the first-order term in the original smoothness indicator is reduced by replacing the square of the first-order term with the product of the first-order and the third-order terms.To preserve the fifth-order of convergence rate,the smoothness indicator is combined with the method of Borges,et al.The numerical results show that the proposed schemes are more suitable for simulating turbulent flows or aeroacoustics problems than the previous fifth-order WENO schemes,thanks to its improved resolution on short waves.

Automatic Assessment of Fabric Smoothness Grade Using Double CCD Grating Projection

Automatically assessing fabric smoothness grade is very important in the evaluation of fabric appearance.A system for objectively evaluating the fabric smoothness grade based on a grating projection unit and double colored CCD(short form of charge coupled device) was constructed in this paper.Two images captured by different CCD compensated each other which reduced the influence of noises.The application of the four-step phase-shifting method enabled the calculation of the exact phase in a point easy and quick.A large amount of 3D points with three coordinates X,Y and Z were obtained precisely making the definition and calculation of fabric smoothness characters easy.Then four parameters which intuitively denoted the fabric smoothness degree were obtained.Finally,a proper neural network was built,which successfully performed the fabric smoothness classification.The experimental results show that the system is applicable for all the fabric whatever pattern or color.The experimental grades provided by this grating projection system are also highly consistent with the subjective results.

Application of Rough Sets to Evaluate Fabric Smoothness Grade

For garment or fabric appearance, the cloth smoothness grade is one of the most important performance factors in textile and garment community. In this paper, on the base of Rough Set Theory,a new objective method for fabric smoothness grade evaluation was constructed. The objective smoothness grading model took the parameters of 120 AATCC replicas' point-sampled models as the conditional attributes and formed the smoothness grading decision table. Then, NS discretization method and genetic algorithm reduction method were used in the attributes discretization and feature reduction. Finally, the grading model was expressed as simple and intuitional classification rules. The simulation results show the validity of the fabric smoothness grading system which is built on the use of rough sets.

CHARACTERIZATION OF HLDER SPACES CORRESPONDING TO DITZIAN-TOTIK MODULUS OF SMOOTHNESS

For the step-weight function , we prove that the Holder spaces ∧a,p on the interval [-1,1], defined in terms of moduli of smoothness with the step-weight function ,are linearly isomorphic to some sequence spaces, and the isomorphism is given by the cofficients of function with respect to a system of orthonormal splines with knots uniformly distributed according to the measure with density . In case ∧a,p is contained in the space of continuous functions, we give a discrete characterization of this space, using only values of function at the appropriate knots. Application of these results to characterize the order of polynomial approximation is presented.

A real-time data smoothness method based on xPC-Target

A method of real-time data smoothness which is applied in a hardware-in-the-loop （HIL） simulation platform for a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle synthetical power device is described. The input signal of the platform comes from a AC/DC switch power with output containing noises. A linear slide average arithmetic is applied to smooth the noises. To average a certain number input sample signals, this method can decrease the noises voltage level, which meet the requirement of the simulation platform. The efficiency and signal delay time are presented to describe the result of this method, and a statistical index is used to judge the arithmetic＇ s efficiency. The tests results show that the arithmetic fit the requirement of the HIL simulation platform.

Morrey smoothness spaces:A new approach

In the recent years,the so-called Morrey smoothness spaces attracted a lot of interest.They can(also)be understood as generalisations of the classical spaces A_(p,q)^(s)(R^(n))with A∈{B,F}in R^(n),where the parameters satisfy s∈R(smoothness),0<p∞(integrability)and 0<q∞(summability).In the case of Morrey smoothness spaces,additional parameters are involved.In our opinion,among the various approaches at least two scales enjoy special attention,also in view of applications:the scales A_(p,q)^(s)(R^(n))with A∈{N,E}and u≥p,and A_(p,q)^(s),τ(R^(n))with A∈{B,F}andτ≥0.We reorganise these two prominent types of Morrey smoothness spaces by adding to(s,p,q)the so-called slope parameter e,preferably(but not exclusively)with-n e<0.It comes out that|e|replaces n,and min(|e|,1)replaces 1 in slopes of(broken)lines in the(1/p,s)-diagram characterising distinguished properties of the spaces A_(p,q)^(s)(R^(n))and their Morrey counterparts.Special attention will be paid to low-slope spaces with-1<e<0,where the corresponding properties are quite often independent of n∈N.Our aim is two-fold.On the one hand,we reformulate some assertions already available in the literature(many of which are quite recent).On the other hand,we establish on this basis new properties,a few of which become visible only in the context of the offered new approach,governed,now,by the four parameters(s,p,q,e).

A generalized nonlinear three-dimensional Hoek‒Brown failure criterion

To understand the strengths of rocks under complex stress states,a generalized nonlinear threedimensional(3D)Hoek‒Brown failure(NGHB)criterion was proposed in this study.This criterion shares the same parameters with the generalized HB(GHB)criterion and inherits the parameter advantages of GHB.Two new parameters,b,and n,were introduced into the NGHB criterion that primarily controls the deviatoric plane shape of the NGHB criterion under triaxial tension and compression,respectively.The NGHB criterion can consider the influence of intermediate principal stress(IPS),where the deviatoric plane shape satisfies the smoothness requirements,while the HB criterion not.This criterion can degenerate into the two modified 3D HB criteria,the Priest criterion under triaxial compression condition and the HB criterion under triaxial compression and tension condition.This criterion was verified using true triaxial test data for different parameters,six types of rocks,and two kinds of in situ rock masses.For comparison,three existing 3D HB criteria were selected for performance comparison research.The result showed that the NGHB criterion gave better prediction performance than other criteria.The prediction errors of the strength of six types of rocks and two kinds of in situ rock masses were in the range of 2.0724%-3.5091%and 1.0144%-3.2321%,respectively.The proposed criterion lays a preliminary theoretical foundation for prediction of engineering rock mass strength under complex in situ stress conditions.

Retrospective and prospective review of the generalized nonlinear strength theory for geomaterials

Strength theory is the basic theory for calculating and designing the strength of engineering materials in civil,hydraulic,mechanical,aerospace,military,and other engineering disciplines.Therefore,the comprehensive study of the generalized nonlinear strength theory(GNST)of geomaterials has significance for the construction of engineering rock strength.This paper reviews the GNST of geomaterials to demonstrate the research status of nonlinear strength characteristics of geomaterials under complex stress paths.First,it systematically summarizes the research progress of GNST(classical and empirical criteria).Then,the latest research the authors conducted over the past five years on the GNST is introduced,and a generalized three-dimensional(3D)nonlinear Hoek‒Brown(HB)criterion(NGHB criterion)is proposed for practical applications.This criterion can be degenerated into the existing three modified HB criteria and has a better prediction performance.The strength prediction errors for six rocks and two in-situ rock masses are 2.0724%-3.5091%and 1.0144%-3.2321%,respectively.Finally,the development and outlook of the GNST are expounded,and a new topic about the building strength index of rock mass and determining the strength of in-situ engineering rock mass is proposed.The summarization of the GNST provides theoretical traceability and optimization for constructing in-situ engineering rock mass strength.

Smoothness-oriented path optimization for robotic milling processes

Industrial robots are increasingly used for five-axis machining operations, where the rotation of the end effector along the toolaxis direction is functionally redundant. This functional redundancy should be carefully resolved when planning the robot path according to the tool path generated by a computer-aided manufacturing(CAM) system. Improper planning of the redundancy may cause drastic variations of the joint motions, which could significantly decrease the machining efficiency as well as the machining accuracy. To tackle this problem, this paper presents a new optimization-based methodology to globally resolve the functional redundancy for the robotic milling process. Firstly, a global performance index concerning the smoothness of the robot path at the joint acceleration level is proposed. By minimizing the smoothness performance index while considering the avoidance of joint limits and the singularity and the constraint of the stiffness performance, the resolution of the redundancy is formulated as a constrained optimization problem. To efficiently solve the problem, the sequential linearization programming method is employed to improve the initial solution provided by the conventional graph-based method. Then, simulations for a given tool path are presented. Compared with the graph-based method, the proposed method can generate a smoother robot path in which a significant reduction of the magnitude of the maximum joint acceleration is obtained, resulting in a smoother tool-tip feedrate profile. Finally, the experiment on the robotic milling system is also presented. The results show that the optimized robot path of the proposed method obtains better surface quality and higher machining efficiency, which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method.
