Abstract:

One of the most important parameters in evaluating a watermarking algorithm is its capacity. Generally, watermarking capacity is expressed by bits per pixel (bpp) unit measure. But this measure does not show what the side effects would be on image quality, watermark robustness and capacity. In this paper we propose a three dimensional measure named Capacity surface which shows the effects of capacity on visual quality and robustness. By this measure we can objectively find the amount of degradation and robustness for different capacities. Our experimental results are compatible with the previous related works in this field (about 20% tolerance) while provide more flexibility for capacity estimation in different conditions.

Introducing the Capacity to Care

What is the capacity to care and why does it matter? How is it acquired? What are its origins in the early development of self and morality? Are women better at caring than men and, if so, is this likely to change with contemporary changes in parenting and gender relations? What would constitute a good enough family, as opposed to good enough mothering? How does the capacity to care inform the ...

Introducing Space into MIMO Capacity Calculations

The large spectral efficiencies promised for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless fading channels are derived under certain conditions which do not fully take into account the spatial aspects of the channel. Spatial correlation, due to limited angular spread or insufficient antenna spacing, significantly reduces the performance of MIMO systems. In this paper we explore the effects of ...

High Capacity FFT-Based Audio Watermarking

This paper proposes a novel high capacity audio watermarking algorithm to embed data and extract it in a bit-exact manner based on changing the magnitudes of the FFT spectrum. The key idea is to divide the FFT spectrum into short frames and change the magnitude value of the FFT samples based on the average of the samples of each frame. Using the average of FFT magnitudes makes it possible to im...

Robust SS watermarking with improved capacity

Robustness is a key attribute of spread spectrum (SS) watermarking scheme. It is significantly deteriorated if one tries to achieve high embedding rate keeping other parameters unaltered. In literatures, typically various transformations like DFT, DCT, Fourier–Mellin and wavelet are used for SS multimedia watermarking but little studies have been attempted so far to see what are the possible fa...

Nested object watermarking: transparency and capacity evaluation

Annotation watermarking (also called caption or illustration watermarking) is a specific application of image watermarking, where supplementary information is embedded directly in the media, linking it to media content, whereby it is not get separated from the media by non-malicious processing steps like image cropping or non-lossy compression. Nested object annotation watermarking (NOAWM) was ...
