In this paper, an efficient watermarking algorithm for color image is proposed based on HSI color space and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). The color image is firstly converted from RGB to HSI format to obtain the intensity component. Then sub-blocks of intensity are divided and sorted according to the human visual system (HVS) characteristic. Finally, the scrambled binary watermark, which is achieved...
Segmentation is an important step in medical image analysis. This process is crucial but challenging due to inhomogeneneity in intensity of images. In addition, the images are often corrupted by noise and with contrast edges. There are some approaches aiming to cope with this kind of images such as: region growing, region competition, watershed segmentation, global thresholding, and active contour...
In service robot applications, tracking and visual servoing are essential to find objects and position the end-effector of a robot to manipulate an object. In this paper, we propose a high-speed object tracking method based on a window approach and a local feature descriptor, SURF (Speeded-Up Robust Features). The visual servo controller uses geometrical features that are computed directly from the...
In recent years, digital watermarking technologies are considered to be important means to protect digital image copyrights. In this paper, we combine a non-invertible watermark scheme with an HVS model adaptive watermark. The application of adaptive watermarks improves visual imperceptibility. However, we find that an adversary is able to apply ambiguity attacks on the non-invertible watermark scheme...
Local descriptors have been extensively used in CBIR systems, where their robustness to intense geometric and photometric transformations allows the identification of a target object/image with great reliability. However, due to their excessive discriminating power, their application to the retrieval of complex categories is challenging. The introduction of the technique of visual dictionaries (also...
The main objective of 3D mesh watermarking is to maximize the watermark strength while minimizing the visual distortion. In this paper, we propose a novel 3D mesh watermarking based on the human visual system and mesh curvature. We analyze the regionpsilas mean curvature and fluctuation of curvature, and then choose the appropriate regions with high visual masking degree, in order to embed the watermark...
