A lightweight encryption technique for JPEG2000 with optional support for transparent encryption is proposed. Randomized anisotropic wavelet packet bases are used to construct a secret frequency domain, leading to a situation in which only a minimal amount of data needs to be encrypted. Results and calculations are presented to evaluate the suggested approach in terms of compression performance...

the principle of dimensionality reduction with pca is the representation of the dataset ‘x’in terms of eigenvectors ei ∈ rn  of its covariance matrix. the eigenvectors oriented in the direction with the maximum variance of x in rn carry the most      relevant information of x. these eigenvectors are called principal components [8]. assume that n images in a set are originally represented in mat...

We study a variety of image deblocking algorithms for improving quality of visual signals degraded by blocking artifacts from compression. The image improvements afforded by these algorithms is measured using the PSNR, PSNR-B, and SSIM. Rather than relying on PSNR, which correlates poorly with subjective judgment, we propose a new Deblocking quality index that is sensitive to blocking artifacts...

ASTC is one of the standard texture formats supported in OpenGL ES 3.2 and Vulkan 1.0 (and later versions), it has been increasingly used on mobile platforms (Android iOS). ASTC’s most important feature block size configuration, thereby providing a trade-off between compression quality rates. With higher number textures, however, difficult to manually determine optimal sizes each texture. To so...

In the present days of advanced electronic technologies in the field of communication like mobile phones, e-mail, internet etc. (and so forth) the incentive based mail surveys are being popular due to their cost effectiveness and rapid approach to individuals. But, a major disadvantage appears as mail surveys are affected by a huge amount of non-response of units in the sample. The post-stratif...

Medical images show a great interest since it is needed in various medical applications. In order to decrease the size of medical images which are needed to be transmitted in a faster way; Region of Interest (ROI) and hybrid lossless compression techniques are applied on medical images to be compressed without losing important data. In this paper, a proposed model will be presented and assessed...

Data transmission security has become an extremely important field of research. Steganography is an art of hiding information in image, audio and video files in a way that would meet the security requirements in the form of overt or covert. In this study, we propose a new hybrid steganography technique for color images that hide secret messages in the frequency domain of a cover image's blu...
