Coverless Information Hiding Based on the Molecular Structure Images of Material

The traditional information hiding methods embed the secret information by modifying the carrier,which will inevitably leave traces of modification on the carrier.In this way,it is hard to resist the detection of steganalysis algorithm.To address this problem,the concept of coverless information hiding was proposed.Coverless information hiding can effectively resist steganalysis algorithm,since it uses unmodified natural stego-carriers to represent and convey confidential information.However,the state-of-the-arts method has a low hidden capacity,which makes it less appealing.Because the pixel values of different regions of the molecular structure images of material(MSIM)are usually different,this paper proposes a novel coverless information hiding method based on MSIM,which utilizes the average value of sub-image’s pixels to represent the secret information,according to the mapping between pixel value intervals and secret information.In addition,we employ a pseudo-random label sequence that is used to determine the position of sub-images to improve the security of the method.And the histogram of the Bag of words model(BOW)is used to determine the number of subimages in the image that convey secret information.Moreover,to improve the retrieval efficiency,we built a multi-level inverted index structure.Furthermore,the proposed method can also be used for other natural images.Compared with the state-of-the-arts,experimental results and analysis manifest that our method has better performance in anti-steganalysis,security and capacity.

Auspicious Patterns and 3D Models Applied in the Creation of Personalized Products

Auspicious patterns are an important manifestation of traditional crafts aesthetics for Chinese culture, and it not only exhibits the clever tricks of folk art, showing more personality and characteristics of Chinese culture in the humanities and arts aesthetic concerns. It shows the traditional aesthetics, based on the harmonious and success, constructed by intelligence and humbleness, shaped by symmetry and balance. This thesis contains two topics: they are the 2D image materialization and the 3D model flattening. First is analyzing the image of the auspicious pattern, and transformed the 2D image into a solid model. The second is through the mathematical operation skills of the geometric model, the existing auspicious 3D model of the triangular mesh is scaled, appropriately rotated and divided to form a flattening model of different visual effects. Finally, these models by means of other modeling software were combined into a new 3D model, then through the 3D printer to quickly print out part of the unique personalized products, to promote the natural beauty of traditional Chinese culture.

Imaging the crystal orientation of 2D transition metal dichalcogenides using polarization-resolved second-harmonic generation

We use laser-scanning nonlinear imaging microscopy in atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides(TMDs)to reveal information on the crystalline orientation distribution,within the 2D lattice.In particular,we perform polarization-resolved second-harmonic generation(PSHG)imaging in a stationary,raster-scanned chemical vapor deposition(CVD)-grown WS2 flake,in order to obtain with high precision a spatially resolved map of the orientation of its main crystallographic axis(armchair orientation).By fitting the experimental PSHG images of sub-micron resolution into a generalized nonlinear model,we are able to determine the armchair orientation for every pixel of the image of the 2D material,with further improved resolution.This pixel-wise mapping of the armchair orientation of 2D WS2 allows us to distinguish between different domains,reveal fine structure,and estimate the crystal orientation variability,which can be used as a unique crystal quality marker over large areas.The necessity and superiority of a polarization-resolved analysis over intensity-only measurements is experimentally demonstrated,while the advantages of PSHG over other techniques are analysed and discussed.
