A cautionary note on image downgrading
نویسندگان
چکیده
The results of an experiment that shows that it is very simple to contaminate digital images with information that can later be extracted are presented. This contamination cannot be detected when the image is displayed on a good quality graphics workstation. Based on these results, it is recommended that image downgrading based on visual display of the image to be downgraded not be performed if there is any threat of image contamination by Trojan horse programs. Potential Trojan horse programs may include untrusted image processing software.

Document Image Dewarping Based on Text Line Detection and Surface Modeling (RESEARCH NOTE)
Document images produced by scanner or digital camera, usually suffer from geometric and photometric distortions. Both of them deteriorate the performance of OCR systems. In this paper, we present a novel method to compensate for undesirable geometric distortions aiming to improve OCR results. Our methodology is based on finding text lines by dynamic local connectivity map and then applying a l...
متن کاملA New Iterative Fuzzy-Based Method for Image Enhancement (RESEARCH NOTE)
This paper presents a new filtering approach based on fuzzy-logic which has high performance in mixed noise environments. This filter is mainly based on the idea that each pixel is not allowed to be uniformly fired by each of the fuzzy rules. In the proposed filtering algorithm, the rule membership functions are tuned iteratively in order to preserve the image edges. Several test experiments we...
متن کاملVisual Pattern Image Coding by a Morphological Approach (RESEARCH NOTE)
This paper presents an improvement of the Visual Pattern image coding (VPIC) scheme presented by Chen and Bovik in [2] and [3]. The patterns in this improved scheme are defined by morphological operations and classified by absolute error minimization. The improved scheme identifies more uniform blocks and reduces the noise effect. Therefore, it improves the compression ratio and image quality i...
