Perturbed Quantization (PQ) steganography scheme is almost undetectable with the current steganalysis methods. We present a new steganalysis method for detection of this data hiding algorithm. We show that the PQ method distorts the dependencies of DCT coefficient values; especially changes much lower than significant bit planes. For steganalysis of PQ, we propose features extraction from the e...

Targeted steganalysis aims at detecting hidden data embedded by a particular algorithm without any knowledge of the ‘cover’ image. In this paper we propose a novel approach for detecting Perturbed Quantization Steganography (PQ) by HFS (Huffman FR index Steganalysis) algorithm using a combination of Huffman Bit Code Length (HBCL) Statistics and File size to Resolution ratio (FR Index) which is ...

Approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) search has achieved great success in many tasks. However, existing popular methods for ANN search, such as hashing and quantization methods, are designed for static databases only. They cannot handle well the database with data distribution evolving dynamically, due to the high computational effort for retraining the model based on the new database. In this pa...

Recently, Babenko and Lempitsky [3] introduced Additive Quantization (AQ), a generalization of Product Quantization (PQ) where a non-independent set of codebooks is used to compress vectors into small binary codes. Unfortunately, under this scheme encoding cannot be done independently in each codebook, and optimal encoding is an NP-hard problem. In this paper, we observe that PQ and AQ are both...

The success of product quantization (PQ) for fast nearest neighbor search depends on the exponentially reduced complexities of both storage and computation with respect to the codebook size. Recent efforts have been focused on employing sophisticated optimization strategies, or seeking more effective models. Residual quantization (RQ) is such an alternative that holds the same property as PQ in...

Product Quantization (PQ) search and its derivatives are popular and successful methods for large-scale approximated nearest neighbor search. In this paper, we review the fundamental algorithm of this class of algorithms and provide executable sample codes. We then provide a comprehensive survey of the recent PQ-based methods.

This paper demonstrates classification of PQ events utilizing wavelet transform (WT) energy features by artificial neural network (ANN) and SVM classifiers. The proposed scheme utilizes wavelet based feature extraction to be used for the artificial neural networks in the classification. Six different PQ events are considered in this study. Three types of neural network classifiers such as feed ...

Affine quantization, which is a parallel procedure with canonical needs to use its principal quantum operators, most simply $D=(PQ+QP)/2$ and $Q\neq0$, represent appropriate kinetic factors, normally $P^2$, involve only one operator. The need for this requirement stems from the quantization of selected problems that require affine achieve valid Monte Carlo results. This task resolved introducto...
