Audio Zero-Watermark Scheme Based on Discrete Cosine Transform-Discrete Wavelet TransformSingular Value Decomposition

Traditional watermark embedding schemes inevitably modify the data in a host audio signal and lead to the degradation of the host signal.In this paper,a novel audio zero-watermarking algorithm based on discrete wavelet transform(DWT),discrete cosine transform(DCT),and singular value decomposition(SVD) is presented.The watermark is registered by performing SVD on the coefficients generated through DWT and DCT to avoid data modification and host signal degradation.Simulation results show that the proposed zero-watermarking algorithm is strongly robust to common signal processing methods such as requantization,MP3 compression,resampling,addition of white Gaussian noise,and low-pass filtering.

Multiple Image Watermarking with Discrete Cosine Transform

Multiple image watermarking is an advanced concept of singular watermarking techniques. The existing singular digital image watermarking techniques cannot obtain all the design goals, such as imperceptibility, robustness, security, and capacity simultaneously with perfection. Hence, the multiple image watermarking technique is designed that embeds several watermarks into the same host image for conveying multiple information. This paper proposed a multiple image watermarking technique with Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) for ensuring the low computational time for embedding, encryption, decryption as well as extraction of the watermark images. Here, DCT is used to ensure the visual quality of the host image, and a random binary matrix is used to improve the security of the digital image. We have given a basic framework for multiple image watermarking. Our experimental results show satisfactory performance.

Adaptive Biorthogonal Local Discrete Cosine Transform for Interference Excision in Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Communications

A novel time-frequency domain interference excision technique is proposed. The technique is based on adaptive biorthogonal local discrete cosine trans form (BLDCT). It uses a redundant library of biorthogonal local discrete cosine bases and an efficient concave cost function to match the transform basis to the interfering signal. The main advantage of the algorithm over conventional trans form domain excision algorithms is that the basis functions are not fixed but ca n be adapted to the time-frequency structure of the interfering signal. It is w e ll suited to transform domain compression and suppression of various types of in terference. Compared to the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) that provides logar ithmic division of the frequency bands, the adaptive BLDCT can provide more flex ible frequency resolution. Thus it is more insensitive to variations of jamming frequency. Simulation results demonstrate the improved bit error rate (BER) perf ormance and the increased robustness of the receiver.

Experiments in Parallelizing the Type IV Discrete Cosine Transform

The Fourier transform is very important to numerous applications in science and engineering. However, its usefulness is hampered by its computational expense. In this paper, in an attempt to develop a faster method for computing Fourier transforms, the authors present parallel implementations of two new algorithms developed for the type IV Discrete Cosine Transform （DCT-IV） which support the new interleaved fast Fourier transform method. The authors discuss the realizations of their implementations using two paradigms. The first involved commodity equipment and the Message-Passing Interface （MPI） library. The second utilized the RapidMind development platform and the Cell Broadband Engine （BE） processor. These experiments indicate that the authors＇ rotation-based algorithm is preferable to their lifting-based algorithm on the platforms tested, with increased efficiency demonstrated by their MPI implementation for large data sets. Finally, the authors outline future work by discussing an architecture-oriented method for computing DCT-IVs which promises further optimization. The results indicate a promising fresh direction in the search for efficient ways to compute Fourier transforms.

FPGA Implementation of Approximate 2D Discrete Cosine Transforms

Discrete cosine transform (DCT) is frequently used in image and video signal processing due to its high energy compaction property. Humans are able to perceive and identify the information from slightly erroneous images. It is enough to produce approximate outputs rather than absolute outputs which in turn reduce the circuit complexity. Numbers of applications like image and video processing need higher dimensional DCT algorithms. So the existing architectures of one dimensional (1D) approximate DCTs are reviewed and extended to two dimensional (2D) approximate DCTs. Approximate 2D multiplier-free DCT architectures are coded in Verilog, simulated in Modelsim to evaluate the correctness, synthesized to evaluate the performance and implemented in virtexE Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) kit. A comparative analysis of approximate 2D DCT architectures is carried out in terms of speed and area.

A Novel De-noising Method Based on Discrete Cosine Transform and Its Application in the Fault Feature Extraction of Hydraulic Pump

Aiming at the existing problems of discrete cosine transform(DCT) de-noising method, we introduce the idea of wavelet neighboring coefficients(WNC) de-noising method, and propose the cosine neighboring coefficients(CNC) de-noising method. Based on DCT, a novel method for the fault feature extraction of hydraulic pump is analyzed. The vibration signal of pump is de-noised with CNC de-noising method, and the fault feature is extracted by performing Hilbert-Huang transform(HHT) to the output signal. The analysis results of the simulation signal and the actual one demonstrate that the proposed CNC de-noising method and the fault feature extraction method have more superior ability than the traditional ones.

Combining discrete cosine transform with clipping for PAPR reduction in intensity-modulated OFDM systems

In this paper, the peak-to-average power ratio(PAPR) of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) signal is reduced by combining the discrete cosine transform(DCT) with clipping in optical intensity-modulated direct-detection(IM/DD) OFDM systems. First, the data are transformed into new modified data by DCT. Second, the proposed scheme utilizes the clipping technique to further reduce the PAPR of OFDM signal. We experimentally demonstrate that the optical OFDM transmission system with this proposed scheme can achieve significant performance improvement in terms of PAPR and bit error rate(BER) compared with the original optical OFDM systems.

Smoothing Non-Stationary Time Series Using the Discrete Cosine Transform

This paper considers the problem of smoothing a non-stationary time series(having either deterministic and/or stochastic trends) using the discrete cosine transform(DCT).The DCT is a powerful tool which has found fruitful applications in filtering and smoothing as it can closely approximate the optimal Karhunen-Loeve transform(KLT).In fact,it is known that it almost corresponds to the KLT for first-order autoregressive processes with a root close to unity:This is the case with most economic and financial time series.A number of new results are derived in the paper:(a) The explicit form of the linear smoother based on the DCT,which is found to have time-varying weights and that uses all observations;(b) the extrapolation of the DCT-smoothed series;(c) the form of the average frequency response function,which is shown to approximate the frequency response of the ideal low pass filter;(d) the asymptotic distribution of the DCT coefficients under the assumptions of deterministic or stochastic trends;(e) two news method for selecting an appropriate degree of smoothing,in general and under the assumptions in(d).These findings are applied and illustrated using several real world economic and financial time series.The results indicate that the DCT-based smoother that is proposed can find many useful applications in economic and financial time series.

Fast 2-D 8×8 discrete cosine transform algorithm for image coding

A new fast two-dimension 8×8 discrete cosine transform （2D 8×8 DCT） algorithm based on the characteristics of the basic images of 2D DCT is presented. The new algorithm computes each DCT coefficient in turn more independently. Hence, the new algorithm is suitable for 2D DCT pruning algorithm of pruning away any number of high-frequency components of 2D DCT. The proposed pruning algorithm is more efficient than the existing pruning 2D DCT algorithms in terms of the number of arithmetic operations, especially the number of multiplications required in the computation.

Peak-to-Average Power Ratio Performance Analysis for Orthogonal Chirp Division Multiplexing Multicarrier Systems Based on Discrete Fractional Cosine Transform

In doubly selective fading channels, the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) multicarrier system may fail. Chirp like basis (fractional Fourier transform-fractional cosine transform) may be used instead of complex exponential basis in this case to improve the system performance. However, in multicarrier transmission, the high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmitted signal is one of the difficult problems that face both the chirp and the exponential basis. In this paper, an evaluation for the PAPR performance of a multicarrier system based on the fractional cosine transform (FrCT) is introduced and then compared with DFrFT and FFT. Moreover, applying the SLAM technique over these systems is provided to understand the behaviour of these systems when applying SLAM. Simulations verify that this system obtains a better PAPR performance. Moreover, further PAPR reduction can be gained using the well-known PAPR reduction methods. Moreover, applying SLAM technique improves the performance of (dB) by 4 dB to 5 dB and all systems become as competitive to each other when SLAM is applied. Finally, BER performance comparison among OFDM, Discrete Cosine Transform MCM (DCT- MCM), Discrete Hartley Transform MCM (DHT-MCM), DFrFT-OCDM and DFrCT- OCDM MCM systems was done by means of simulation over 100,000 multicarrier blocks for each one and showed that our proposed scenario gave the best performance.

A Review of Image Steganography Based on Multiple Hashing Algorithm

Steganography is a technique for hiding secret messages while sending and receiving communications through a cover item.From ancient times to the present,the security of secret or vital information has always been a significant problem.The development of secure communication methods that keep recipient-only data transmissions secret has always been an area of interest.Therefore,several approaches,including steganography,have been developed by researchers over time to enable safe data transit.In this review,we have discussed image steganography based on Discrete Cosine Transform(DCT)algorithm,etc.We have also discussed image steganography based on multiple hashing algorithms like the Rivest–Shamir–Adleman(RSA)method,the Blowfish technique,and the hash-least significant bit(LSB)approach.In this review,a novel method of hiding information in images has been developed with minimal variance in image bits,making our method secure and effective.A cryptography mechanism was also used in this strategy.Before encoding the data and embedding it into a carry image,this review verifies that it has been encrypted.Usually,embedded text in photos conveys crucial signals about the content.This review employs hash table encryption on the message before hiding it within the picture to provide a more secure method of data transport.If the message is ever intercepted by a third party,there are several ways to stop this operation.A second level of security process implementation involves encrypting and decrypting steganography images using different hashing algorithms.

A color image encryption scheme based on a 2D coupled chaotic system and diagonal scrambling algorithm

A novel color image encryption scheme is developed to enhance the security of encryption without increasing the complexity. Firstly, the plain color image is decomposed into three grayscale plain images, which are converted into the frequency domain coefficient matrices(FDCM) with discrete cosine transform(DCT) operation. After that, a twodimensional(2D) coupled chaotic system is developed and used to generate one group of embedded matrices and another group of encryption matrices, respectively. The embedded matrices are integrated with the FDCM to fulfill the frequency domain encryption, and then the inverse DCT processing is implemented to recover the spatial domain signal. Eventually,under the function of the encryption matrices and the proposed diagonal scrambling algorithm, the final color ciphertext is obtained. The experimental results show that the proposed method can not only ensure efficient encryption but also satisfy various sizes of image encryption. Besides, it has better performance than other similar techniques in statistical feature analysis, such as key space, key sensitivity, anti-differential attack, information entropy, noise attack, etc.

CAW-YOLO:Cross-Layer Fusion and Weighted Receptive Field-Based YOLO for Small Object Detection in Remote Sensing

In recent years,there has been extensive research on object detection methods applied to optical remote sensing images utilizing convolutional neural networks.Despite these efforts,the detection of small objects in remote sensing remains a formidable challenge.The deep network structure will bring about the loss of object features,resulting in the loss of object features and the near elimination of some subtle features associated with small objects in deep layers.Additionally,the features of small objects are susceptible to interference from background features contained within the image,leading to a decline in detection accuracy.Moreover,the sensitivity of small objects to the bounding box perturbation further increases the detection difficulty.In this paper,we introduce a novel approach,Cross-Layer Fusion and Weighted Receptive Field-based YOLO(CAW-YOLO),specifically designed for small object detection in remote sensing.To address feature loss in deep layers,we have devised a cross-layer attention fusion module.Background noise is effectively filtered through the incorporation of Bi-Level Routing Attention(BRA).To enhance the model’s capacity to perceive multi-scale objects,particularly small-scale objects,we introduce a weightedmulti-receptive field atrous spatial pyramid poolingmodule.Furthermore,wemitigate the sensitivity arising from bounding box perturbation by incorporating the joint Normalized Wasserstein Distance(NWD)and Efficient Intersection over Union(EIoU)losses.The efficacy of the proposedmodel in detecting small objects in remote sensing has been validated through experiments conducted on three publicly available datasets.The experimental results unequivocally demonstrate the model’s pronounced advantages in small object detection for remote sensing,surpassing the performance of current mainstream models.

Multi-scale Incremental Analysis Update Scheme and Its Application to Typhoon Mangkhut(2018)Prediction

In the traditional incremental analysis update(IAU)process,all analysis increments are treated as constant forcing in a model’s prognostic equations over a certain time window.This approach effectively reduces high-frequency oscillations introduced by data assimilation.However,as different scales of increments have unique evolutionary speeds and life histories in a numerical model,the traditional IAU scheme cannot fully meet the requirements of short-term forecasting for the damping of high-frequency noise and may even cause systematic drifts.Therefore,a multi-scale IAU scheme is proposed in this paper.Analysis increments were divided into different scale parts using a spatial filtering technique.For each scale increment,the optimal relaxation time in the IAU scheme was determined by the skill of the forecasting results.Finally,different scales of analysis increments were added to the model integration during their optimal relaxation time.The multi-scale IAU scheme can effectively reduce the noise and further improve the balance between large-scale and small-scale increments in the model initialization stage.To evaluate its performance,several numerical experiments were conducted to simulate the path and intensity of Typhoon Mangkhut(2018)and showed that:(1)the multi-scale IAU scheme had an obvious effect on noise control at the initial stage of data assimilation;(2)the optimal relaxation time for large-scale and small-scale increments was estimated as 6 h and 3 h,respectively;(3)the forecast performance of the multi-scale IAU scheme in the prediction of Typhoon Mangkhut(2018)was better than that of the traditional IAU scheme.The results demonstrate the superiority of the multi-scale IAU scheme.

HybridWatermarking and Encryption Techniques for Securing Medical Images

Securing medical data while transmission on the network is required because it is sensitive and life-dependent data.Many methods are used for protection,such as Steganography,Digital Signature,Cryptography,and Watermarking.This paper introduces a novel robust algorithm that combines discrete wavelet transform(DWT),discrete cosine transform(DCT),and singular value decomposition(SVD)digital image-watermarking algorithms.The host image is decomposed using a two-dimensional DWT(2D-DWT)to approximate low-frequency sub-bands in the embedding process.Then the sub-band low-high(LH)is decomposed using 2D-DWT to four new sub-bands.The resulting sub-band low-high(LH1)is decomposed using 2D-DWT to four new sub-bands.Two frequency bands,high-high(HH_(2))and high-low(HL_(2)),are transformed by DCT,and then the SVD is applied to the DCT coefficients.The strongest modified singular values(SVs)vary very little for most attacks,which is an important property of SVD watermarking.The two watermark images are encrypted using two layers of encryption,circular and chaotic encryption techniques,to increase security.The first encrypted watermark is embedded in the S component of the DCT components of the HL_(2)coefficients.The second encrypted watermark is embedded in the S component of the DCT components of the HH2 coefficients.The suggested technique has been tested against various attacks and proven to provide excellent stability and imperceptibility results.

ELM-Based Shape Adaptive DCT Compression Technique for Underwater Image Compression

Underwater imagery and transmission possess numerous challenges like lower signal bandwidth,slower data transmission bit rates,Noise,underwater blue/green light haze etc.These factors distort the estimation of Region of Interest and are prime hurdles in deploying efficient compression techniques.Due to the presence of blue/green light in underwater imagery,shape adaptive or block-wise compression techniques faces failures as it becomes very difficult to estimate the compression levels/coefficients for a particular region.This method is proposed to efficiently deploy an Extreme Learning Machine(ELM)model-based shape adaptive Discrete Cosine Transformation(DCT)for underwater images.Underwater color image restoration techniques based on veiling light estimation and restoration of images followed by Saliency map estimation based on Gray Level Cooccurrence Matrix(GLCM)features are explained.An ELM network is modeled which takes two parameters,signal strength and saliency value of the region to be compressed and level of compression(DCT coefficients and compression steps)are predicted by ELM.This method ensures lesser errors in the Region of Interest and a better trade-off between available signal strength and compression level.

Ground-roll separation of seismic data based on morphological component analysis in twodimensional domain

Ground roll is an interference wave that severely degrades the signal-to-noise ratio of seismic data and affects its subsequent processing and interpretation.In this study,according to differences in morphological characteristics between ground roll and reflected waves,we use morphological component analysis based on two-dimensional dictionaries to separate ground roll and reflected waves.Because ground roll is characterized by lowfrequency,low-velocity,and dispersion,we select two-dimensional undecimated discrete wavelet transform as a sparse representation dictionary of ground roll.Because of a strong local correlation of the reflected wave,we select two-dimensional local discrete cosine transform as the sparse representation dictionary of reflected waves.A sparse representation model of seismic data is constructed based on a two-dimensional joint dictionary then a block coordinate relaxation algorithm is used to solve the model and decompose seismic record into reflected wave part and ground roll part.The good effects for the synthetic seismic data and application of real seismic data indicate that when using the model,strong-energy ground roll is considerably suppressed and the waveform of the reflected wave is effectively protected.

Vehicle detection method for expressway by MPEG compressed domain

A method which extracts traffic information from an MPEG-2 compressed video is proposed. According to the features of vehicle motion, the motion vector of a macro-block is used to detect moving vehicles in daytime, and a filter algorithm for removing noises of motion vectors is given. As the brightness of the headlights is higher than that of the background in night images, discrete cosine transform （DCT）coefficient of image block is used to detect headlights of vehicles at night, and an algorithm for calculating the DCT coefficients of P-frames is introduced. In order to prevent moving objects outside the expressway and video shot changes from disturbing the detection, a driveway location method and a video-shot-change detection algorithm are suggested. The detection rate is 97.4% in daytime and 95.4% in nighttime by this method. The results prove that this vehicle detection method is effective.
