چکیده

Visual morphing is a class of techniques that deal with the metamorphosis of one image into another, which generates a series of smoothly continuous intermediate images between two given images. Over the past few years, a number of computable models of visual morphing have been developed. However, most of these models are based on the pixel domain. Little theoretical and computational work of visual morphing is based on the compressed domain. In this paper, two image morphing algorithms in the discrete cosine transform (DCT) domain are proposed. The first method is based on the feature-based method. Salient blocks and edge blocks as features are detected in the DCT domain first. Then feature correspondences are built manually. At last, a mapping function is constructed on two hierarchies. The second method is for the case that features are not distinct and feature correspondences can’t be built easily. A morphing method following the idea of fluid simulation is proposed. The experimental results have demonstrated the convenience, efficiency and accuracy of the proposed algorithm.

Singular Value Decomposition based Steganography Technique for JPEG2000 Compressed Images

In this paper, a steganography technique for JPEG2000 compressed images using singular value decomposition in wavelet transform domain is proposed. In this technique, DWT is applied on the cover image to get wavelet coefficients and SVD is applied on these wavelet coefficients to get the singular values. Then secret data is embedded into these singular values using scaling factor. Different com...

Video Abstraction in H.264/AVC Compressed Domain

Video abstraction allows searching, browsing and evaluating videos only by accessing the useful contents. Most of the studies are using pixel domain, which requires the decoding process and needs more time and process consuming than compressed domain video abstraction. In this paper, we present a new video abstraction method in H.264/AVC compressed domain, AVAIF. The method is based on the norm...

Compressed-Sampling-Based Image Saliency Detection in the Wavelet Domain

When watching natural scenes, an overwhelming amount of information is delivered to the Human Visual System (HVS). The optic nerve is estimated to receive around 108 bits of information a second. This large amount of information can’t be processed right away through our neural system. Visual attention mechanism enables HVS to spend neural resources efficiently, only on the selected parts of the...
