Reversible Data Hiding in Encrypted Images Based on Adaptive Prediction and Labeling

Recently,reversible data hiding in encrypted images(RDHEI)based on pixel prediction has been a hot topic.However,existing schemes still employ a pixel predictor that ignores pixel changes in the diagonal direction during prediction,and the pixel labeling scheme is inflexible.To solve these problems,this paper proposes reversible data hiding in encrypted images based on adaptive prediction and labeling.First,we design an adaptive gradient prediction(AGP),which uses eight adjacent pixels and combines four scanning methods(i.e.,horizontal,vertical,diagonal,and diagonal)for prediction.AGP can adaptively adjust the weight of the linear prediction model according to the weight of the edge attribute of the pixel,which improves the prediction ability of the predictor for complex images.At the same time,we adopt an adaptive huffman coding labeling scheme,which can adaptively generate huffman codes for labeling according to different images,effectively improving the scheme’s embedding performance on the dataset.The experimental results show that the algorithm has a higher embedding rate.The embedding rate on the test image Jetplane is 4.2102 bpp,and the average embedding rate on the image dataset Bossbase is 3.8625 bpp.

KOGPSR:A 3D GPSR algorithm using adaptive Kalman prediction for FANETs with omnidirectional antenna

Nowadays,flying ad hoc network(FANET)has captured great attention for its huge potential in military and civilian applications.However,the high-speed movement of unmanned aerial vehi-cles(UAVs)in three-dimensional(3D)space leads to fast topology change in FANET and brings new challenges to traditional routing mechanisms.To improve the performance of packet trans-mission in the 3D high dynamic FANETs,we propose a 3D greedy perimeter stateless routing(GPSR)algorithm using adaptive Kalman prediction for FANETs with omnidirectional antenna(KOGPSR).Especially,in data forwarding part of the KOGPSR,we propose a new link metric for greedy forwarding based on a torus-shaped radiation pattern of the omnidirectional antenna of UAVs,and a restricted flooding strategy is introduced to solve the 3D void node problem in geographic routing.In addition,in order to enhance the accuracy of the location information of high dynamic UAVs,we design an adaptive Kalman algorithm to track and predict the motion of UAVs.Finally,a FANET simulation platform based on OPNET is built to depict the performance of the KOGPSR algorithm.The simulation results show that the proposed KOGPSR algorithm is more suitable for the actual 3D high dynamic FANET.

In order to obtain accurate prediction model and compensate for the influence of model mismatch on the control performance of the system and avoid solving nonlinear programming problem,an adaptive fuzzy predictive functional control(AFPFC) scheme for multivariable nonlinear systems was proposed.Firstly,multivariable nonlinear systems were described based on Takagi-Sugeno(T-S) fuzzy models;assuming that the antecedent parameters of T-S models were kept,the consequent parameters were identified on-line by using the weighted recursive least square(WRLS) method.Secondly,the identified T-S models were linearized to be time-varying state space model at each sampling instant.Finally,by using linear predictive control technique the analysis solution of the optimal control law of AFPFC was established.The application results for pH neutralization process show that the absolute error between the identified T-S model output and the process output is smaller than 0.015;the tracking ability of the proposed AFPFC is superior to that of non-AFPFC(NAFPFC) for pH process without disturbances,the overshoot of the effluent pH value of AFPFC with disturbances is decreased by 50% compared with that of NAFPFC;when the process parameters of AFPFC vary with time the integrated absolute error(IAE) performance index still retains to be less than 200 compared with that of NAFPFC.

The offshore jacket platform is a complex and time-varying nonlinear system, which can be excited of harmful vibration by external loads. It is difficult to obtain an ideal control performance for passive control methods or traditional active control methods based on accurate mathematic model. In this paper, an adaptive inverse control method is proposed on the basis of novel rough neural networks （RNN） to control the harmful vibration of the offshore jacket platform, and the offshore jacket platform model is established by dynamic stiffness matrix （DSM） method. Benefited from the nonlinear processing ability of the neural networks and data interpretation ability of the rough set theory, RNN is utilized to identify the predictive inverse model of the offshore jacket platform system. Then the identified model is used as the adaptive predictive inverse controller to control the harmful vibration caused by wave and wind loads, and to deal with the delay problem caused by signal transmission in the control process. The numerical results show that the constructed novel RNN has advantages such as clear structure, fast training speed and strong error-tolerance ability, and the proposed method based on RNN can effectively control the harmful vibration of the offshore jacket platform.
