A sure way of providing privacy to sensitive images is encrypt them, especially when they are stored in a public cloud server. Homomorphic encryption enables arithmetic operations over encrypted data without access the secret key. This facility can be well harnessed for secure outsourced image processing by exploiting available computational capabilities modern servers. paper presents new homom...

A novel method for watermarking and ciphering color images, based on the joint use of a key-dependent wavelet transform with a secure cryptographic scheme, is presented. The system allows to watermark encrypted data without requiring the knowledge of the original data and also to cipher watermarked data without damaging the embedded signal. Since different areas of the proposed transform domain...

We propose a secure algorithm for direct encryption and decryption of digital images with chaotic map lattices. The basic idea is to convert, pixel by pixel, the image color to chaotic logistic maps one-way coupled by initial conditions. After small numbers of iterations and cycles, the image becomes indistinguishable due to inherent properties of chaotic systems. Since the maps are coupled, th...

abstract-manual harvesting of saffron as a laborious and exhausting job; it not only raises production costs, but also reduces the quality due to contaminations. saffron quality could be enhanced if automated harvesting is substituted. as the main step towards designing a saffron harvester robot, an appropriate algorithm was developed in this study based on image processing techniques to recogn...

abstract cognizing environment in human vision-system is complex process. part of this process is perceiving image elements and attention signals in general. in the other hand, extracting special description from image elements. it is assumed that the environment scene is a kind of image. according to this description, it is justifiable to interpret image according to the gestalt theory princip...
