The algorithm provides an effective mechanism for image authentication. The watermark generation and watermark embedment are disposed in the image itself, and the received image authentication needs no information about the original image or watermark. The algorithm increases watermark security and prevents forged watermark. Experimental results show that the algorithm can identify intentional content modification and incidental tampering, and also indicate the location where a modification takes place.展开更多

Digital (discrete domain) filters applied to image and video signal processing using the novel 3D multirate algorithms for efficient implementation of moving object extraction are engineered with an example. The multirate (decimation and/or interpolation) signal processing algorithms can achieve significant savings in computation and memory usage. The proposed algorithm uses the mapping relations of z-transfer functions between non-multirate and multirate mathematical expressions in terms of time-varying coefficient instead of traditional polyphase de- composition counterparts. The mapping properties can be readily used to efficiently analyze and synthesize MD multirate filters.展开更多

Accurate and robust pupil localization in non-ideal eye images is a challenging task. A detailed method of pupil localization in non-ideal eye images is proposed. This method is implemented in three main phases： first, segment the rough pupil region based on Gaussian Mixture Model： then modify the rough segmentation result using morphological method to minimize the influence of some disturbing factors; last estimate the pupil parameters based on minimizing the least square error. The proposed method is first tested on CASIA iris image dataset, and then on our self-captured iris dataset which contains a wider variety of iris images. Experiments show that the proposed method can perform well for nonideal eye images of various qualities.展开更多
