Characterization of animal behavior through the use of audio and video signal processing

چکیده
Quantifiying animal behavior is a challenge at the forefront of research in neuroscience. This type of objective description is essential for proper interpretation of results, ensures reproducibility of experiments across laboratories, and presents the researcher with a more complete picture of the genotype-phenotype relationship in the context of the nervous system. Because high-throughput experimental setups increasingly require automated acquisition and analysis of long series of behavioral data, multimedia systems are becoming a vital part of the behavioral neuroscientist’s toolkit. In this article we present two examples in which audio and video acquisition and processing have been used to quantify animal behavior, ranging from mammal locomotor activity to birdsong.

A chaos-based video watermarking algorithm
The intriguing characteristics of chaotic maps have prompted researchers to use these sequences in watermarking systems to good effect. In this paper we aim to use a tent map to encrypt the binary logo to achieve a like-noise signal. This approach makes extraction of the watermark signal by potential attacker very hard. Embedding locations are selected based on certain principles. Experimental ...
متن کاملTwo Novel Chaos-Based Algorithms for Image and Video Watermarking
In this paper we introduce two innovative image and video watermarking algorithms. The paper’s main emphasis is on the use of chaotic maps to boost the algorithms’ security and resistance against attacks. By encrypting the watermark information in a one dimensional chaotic map, we make the extraction of watermark for potential attackers very hard. In another approach, we select embedding po...
