We shall show that non-invertibility is a necessary but not sufficient condition in resolving ownership disputes. We then define quasi-invertible watermarking schemes, and, present analysis that links invertibility and ...

However, current knowledge about patterns of vegetation variability across large regions that is spatially explicit (i.e., mapped) tends to be general and qualitative. We used spatial pre...
