    On the effect of spatial to compressed domains transformation in LSB-based image steganography

    , Article 7th IEEE/ACS International Conference on Computer Systems and Applications, AICCSA-2009, Rabat, 10 May 2009 through 13 May 2009 ; 2009 , Pages 260-264 ; 9781424438068 (ISBN) Sarreshtedari, S ; Ghotbi, M ; Ghaemmaghami, S ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    This paper introduces an efficient scheme to image steganography by introducing the hidden message (payload) insertion in spatial domain and transforming the stego-image to compressed domain. We apply a recently-proposed LSB method in order to obtain better statistical behavior of the stego-message and subsequently, the obtained stego-image is transformed and quantized in order to enhance the security of hiding. Performance analysis comparisons confirm a higher efficiency for our proposed method. Compared to recently-proposed approaches, our method offers the advantage that it combines an efficient LSB method with transform domain security. © 2009 IEEE  

    Efficient Hardware Implementation of Lossless Medical Image Compression

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Sepehrband, Farshid (Author) ; Mortazavi, Mohammad (Supervisor) ; Ghorshi, Mohammad Ali (Co-Advisor)
    Abstract
    Medical images contain human body pictures and are widely used for diag-nosis and surgical purposes. Compression is needed for medical images for some applications such as profiling a patient's data or transmission systems. Due to the importance of the information of medical images, lossless or visually lossless compression is preferred. Lossless compression mainly consists of transformation and encoding steps. On the other hand, hardware implementation of lossless compression algorithm accelerates real time tasks such as online diagnosis and telemedicine. Lossless JPEG, JPEG-LS and lossless version of JPEG2000 are few well known methods for lossless compression. In this thesis, we introduce...

    Abstract
    Medical images include human body picture and it is used in diagnosis purpose [1]. Lossless compression of medical image is an application of medical imaging. During lossless compression task, transformation algorithm can be used to increase compression ratio. In Real time applications such as telemedicine and online diagnosis, hardware implementation accelerates the process. Hence, for such purposes medical compression is better to be simple. Lossless JPEG and JPEG2000 are some compression method. JPEG2000 gives better compression ratio. However, it is complex. In this paper an efficient method of lossless image transformation has been introduced by improving prediction model. Simulation...

    Abstract
    Remote Sensing (RS) images or satellite images include information about earth. Compression of RS images is important in the field of satellite transmission systems and mass storage purposes. Because of importance of information and existent of large amount of details, lossless compression preferred. Real time compression technique is applied on satellite and aerial transmission systems [1]. A simple algorithm accelerates the whole process in real time purposes. Lossless JPEG, JPEG-LS and JPEG2000 are some famous lossless compression methods. Transformation is the first step of these methods. In this paper, a simple and efficient method of lossless image transformation has been introduced by...

    Abstract
    In this paper, a new blind scaling based watermarking approach is presented. The host signal is assumed to be stationary Gaussian with first-order autoregressive model. Partitioning the host signal into two separate parts, the data is embedded in one part and the other is kept unchanged for blind parameter estimation. Driving the distribution of the decision variable we have suggested a maximum likelihood decoding algorithm which is independent of the host signal distribution and can be applied for any transform domains. The proposed algorithm is applied to both artificial Gaussian autoregressive signals as well as various test images. Experimental results confirm the independence of the... 

    Object detection based on weighted adaptive prediction in lifting scheme transform

    , Article ISM 2006 - 8th IEEE International Symposium on Multimedia, San Diego, CA, 11 December 2006 through 13 December 2006 ; 2006 , Pages 652-656 ; 0769527469 (ISBN); 9780769527468 (ISBN) Amiri, M ; Rabiee, H. R ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    This paper presents a new algorithm for detecting user-selected objects in a sequence of images based on a new weighted adaptive lifting scheme transform. In our algorithm, we first select a set of coefficients as object features in the wavelet transform domain and then build an adaptive transform considering the selected features. The goal of the designed adaptive transform is to "vanish" the selected features as much as possible in the transform domain. After applying both non-adaptive and adaptive transforms to a given test image, the corresponding transform domain coefficients are compared for detecting the object of interest. We have verified our claim with experimental results on 1-D...
