Reversible data hiding using a transformer predictor and an adaptive embedding strategy

In the field of reversible data hiding(RDH),designing a high-precision predictor to reduce the embedding distortion and developing an effective embedding strategy to minimize the distortion caused by embedding information are the two most critical aspects.In this paper,we propose a new RDH method,including a predictor based on a transformer and a novel embedding strategy with multiple embedding rules.In the predictor part,we first design a transformer-based predictor.Then,we propose an image division method to divide the image into four parts,which can use more pixels as context.Compared with other predictors,the transformer-based predictor can extend the range of pixels for prediction from neighboring pixels to global ones,making it more accurate in reducing the embedding distortion.In the embedding strategy part,we first propose a complexity measurement with pixels in the target blocks.Then,we develop an improved prediction error ordering rule.Finally,we provide an embedding strategy including multiple embedding rules for the first time.The proposed RDH method can effectively reduce the distortion and provide satisfactory results in improving the visual quality of data-hidden images,and experimental results show that the performance of our RDH method is leading the field.

Night Vision Object Tracking System Using Correlation Aware LSTM-Based Modified Yolo Algorithm

Improved picture quality is critical to the effectiveness of object recog-nition and tracking.The consistency of those photos is impacted by night-video systems because the contrast between high-profile items and different atmospheric conditions,such as mist,fog,dust etc.The pictures then shift in intensity,colour,polarity and consistency.A general challenge for computer vision analyses lies in the horrid appearance of night images in arbitrary illumination and ambient envir-onments.In recent years,target recognition techniques focused on deep learning and machine learning have become standard algorithms for object detection with the exponential growth of computer performance capabilities.However,the iden-tification of objects in the night world also poses further problems because of the distorted backdrop and dim light.The Correlation aware LSTM based YOLO(You Look Only Once)classifier method for exact object recognition and deter-mining its properties under night vision was a major inspiration for this work.In order to create virtual target sets similar to daily environments,we employ night images as inputs;and to obtain high enhanced image using histogram based enhancement and iterative wienerfilter for removing the noise in the image.The process of the feature extraction and feature selection was done for electing the potential features using the Adaptive internal linear embedding(AILE)and uplift linear discriminant analysis(ULDA).The region of interest mask can be segmen-ted using the Recurrent-Phase Level set Segmentation.Finally,we use deep con-volution feature fusion and region of interest pooling to integrate the presently extremely sophisticated quicker Long short term memory based(LSTM)with YOLO method for object tracking system.A range of experimentalfindings demonstrate that our technique achieves high average accuracy with a precision of 99.7%for object detection of SSAN datasets that is considerably more than that of the other standard object detection mechanism.Our approach may therefore satisfy the true demands of night scene target detection applications.We very much believe that our method will help future research.
