ABSTARCT In this paper we propose two new matching criteria for template matching. The performance evaluation of these two criteria is applied to electronic digital image stabilizer (EDIS) application. These two criteria are based on bit-plane matching (BPM) criterion, where four decimated bit-planes are used in our criteria. These criteria can be realized using only Boolean functions; hence th...

This paper first introduces a binary-block embedding (BBE) method to embed secret data in a binary image. Using BBE, we propose an algorithm for reversible data hiding in encrypted images (BBE-RDHEI). It uses BBE to embed binary bits in lower bit-planes of the original image into its higher bit-planes such that the lower bitplanes can be reserved for hiding secret data in subsequent processes. ...

As the rapid development of third-party storage and homomorphic encryption have profoundly stimulated desire for secure communication, reversible data hiding in encrypted images has received widespread attention, since it allows lossless conveying perfect image recovery. In order to obtain with high embedding capacity, a novel block method is proposed, based on an adaptive recognition strategy ...

Digital steganography exploits the use of a host data to hide a piece of information in such a way it is imperceptible to a human observer. In this paper we propose an image steganography system, in which the data hiding (embedding) is realized in bit planes of subband wavelets coefficients obtained by using the Integer Wavelet Transform (IWT). To increase data hiding capacity while keeping the...

The detection of edges in images is a vital operation with applications in various fields. There are a number of methods developed already for the same. We have developed a 'global method' for extraction of edges which is a modification of the existing Sobel operator. We have first extracted the bit planes of each image and have applied the Sobel operator on each bit plane for enhance...

this paper seeks to document the specific structural patterns of bit hilanis architecture which were in used in the ancient near east from the second to the first millennium b.c. the recognition of bit hilanis architectural characteristics as well as their provenances and their spread from anatoly to palestine have always remained the important issues to be addressed by art historians and archa...

In this paper, an image steganography system is proposed, in which the data hiding (embedding) is realized in bit planes of subband wavelets coefficients obtained using the Integer Wavelet Transform (IWT). To increase data hiding capacity while keeping the imperceptibility of the hidden data, the replaceable IWT coefficient areas are defined by a complexity measure used in the Bit-Plane Complex...

This paper presents a robust transmission strategy for wavelet based scalable bit stream over packet erasure channel. By taking the advantage of the bit plane coding and the multiple description coding, the proposed strategy adopts layered multiple description coding (LMDC) for the embedded wavelet coders to improve the error resistant capability of the important bit planes in the meaning of D(...

This paper presents a new bit-plane-wise unequal error protection algorithm for Internet video applications. The proposed algorithm protects a compressed embedded bitstream generated by a 3-D SPIHT algorithm by assigning unequal forward error correction (FEC) codes to each bit-plane. The proposed algorithm reduces the amount of side information needed to send the size of each code to the decode...
