AbstractThe concept of black-and-white visual cryptography with two truly random shares, previously applied to color images, was improved by mixing the contents of the segments of each coding image and by randomly changing a specified number of black pixels into color ones. This was done in such a way that the changes of the contents of the decoded image were as small as possible. These modifications made the numbers of color pixels in the shares close to balanced, which potentially made it possible for the shares to be truly random. The true randomness was understood as that the data pass the suitably designed randomness tests. The randomness of the shares was tested with the NIST randomness tests. Part of the tests passed successfully, while some failed. The target of coding a color image in truly random shares was approached, but not yet reached. In visual cryptography, the decoding with the unarmed human eye is of primary importance, but besides this, simple numerical processing of the decoded image makes it possible to greatly improve the quality of the reconstructed image, so that it becomes close to that of the dithered original image.

In this work a fragile watermarking scheme is presented. This scheme is applied to digital color images in spatial domain. The image is divided into blocks, and each block has its authentication mark embedded in it, we would be able to insure which parts of the image are authentic and which parts have been modified. This authentication carries out without need to exist the original image. The results show the quality of the watermarked image is remaining very good and the watermark survived some type of unintended modification such as familiar compression software like WINRAR and ZIP

Color has historically seen limited use in metallography, mainly due to the cost of film and prints and the difficulty and cost of reproducing images in publications. However, with the growth of digital imaging, capturing color images is much simpler and cheaper. Also, printing images in color is inexpensive for in-house reports, and can be distributed cheaply on CDs, although reproduction in journals is still expensive. Color does have many advantages over black and white. First, the human eye is sensitive to only about forty shades of gray from white to black, but is sensitive to a vast number of colors. Tint etchants reveal features in the microstructure that often cannot be revealed using standard black and white etchants.


In many image processing applications, a wide range of image enhancement techniques are being proposed. Many of these techniques demanda lot of critical and advance steps, but the resultingimage perception is not satisfactory. This paper proposes a novel sharpening method which is being experimented with additional steps. In the first step, the color image is transformed into grayscale image, then edge detection process is applied using Laplacian technique. Then deduct this image from the original image. The resulting image is as expected; After performing the enhancement process,the high quality of the image can be indicated using the Tenengrad criterion. The resulting image manifested the difference in certain areas, the dimension and the depth as well. Histogram equalization technique can also be applied to change the images color.

A blind print-recapture robust watermark scheme is proposed. Watermark patterns are embedded into the space domain of a color image and can be detected from a print-recaptured version of the image without knowledge of the original image. The process of embedding invisible watermarks to convert RGB color images to CIE Lab color spaces and embed periodic watermarks in both color channels at the same time. Watermark extraction is achieved by calculating self-convolution and inverting the geometric transformation such as rotation and scale. Normalized correlation coefficients between the extracted and the embedded watermark pattern is calculated to determine whether there is watermark. The decision about the presence/absence of the watermark pattern is then determined by a threshold which is set 0.13, and the detection rate of 241 pictures is about 0.79.

Color is an important indicator of the aesthetic evaluation of the quality of materials and products for various purposes. The visual perception of the color by the human eye is subjective. For achromatic colors, the human eye responds better to a change in brightness (lightness) of dark colors than light ones, since the relative increment of lightness is higher in the first case than in the second. Gray is an achromatic color, which is the result of a mixture of classic colors — black and white. Depending on the lightness, the shade of gray changes from black (lightness 0%) to white (lightness 100%). In combination with other colors, it decorates any interior, emphasizes its dignity. Gray color is in great demand in the manufacture of steel enamelled household articles. To obtain a light gray color, the basic sodium borosilicate system (Na2O-B2O3-SiO2) was chosen. For the experimental enamels, physicochemical properties were determined, and for glass coatings – lightness and brilliance. In order to improve these properties, the components in the composition of enamels were varied. Leachability of the best enamel was 0.11 cm3/g, temperature coefficient of linear expansion – 94.2 · 10-7 degrees-1, spreadability – 24.3 mm, gloss of the glass layer – 76%, lightness – 57%, the coating withstood the effect of 4%th acetic acid for 5 minutes without losing gloss. On this enamel, the dependence of lightness and tint of the glass layer on the amount (0.067-0.6 parts by weight) of coloring oxides (CuO, NiO, CoO), which were injected in excess of 100.0% by weight, was studied. The optimum content of the coloring components was determined. Non-pigmented glass coatings of light gray color with a delicate blue tint and lightness (60-70%) have been developed, which can be used for enameling kitchen and tableware, as well as for other types of steel articles for household use.

Visual Cryptography is an encryption technique which performs only encryption in cryptography, and it is used to encrypt every visual data. And this cryptography is different and unique in all cryptographic techniques, because of not performing decryption process mechanically, and that is done mechanically. In normal visual cryptography only black and white images are encrypted. In this paper we propose a different type of visual cryptography scheme for colour imagesin CMY format. And it protects the secret of the original image and no other techniques does not decrypt it except our decryption technique.

Quality of digital image can decrease becouse some noises. Noise can come from lower quality of image recorder, disturb when transmission data process and weather. Noise filtering can make image better becouse will filtering that noise from the image and can improve quality of digital image. This research have aim to improve color image quality with filtering noise. Noise (Gaussian, Speckle, Salt&Pepper) will apply to original image, noise from image will filtering use Bilateral Filter method, Median Filter method and Average Filter method so can improve color image quality. To know how well this research do, we use PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) criteria with compared original image and filtering image (image after using noise and filtering noise).This research result with noise filtering Gaussian (variance = 0.5), highest PSNR value found in the Bilateral Filter method is 27.69. Noise filtering Speckle (variance = 0.5), highest PSNR value found in the Average Filter method is 34.12.

The combination of point, line, shape and color elements combined to create a physical imitation of an object is called an image. The arrangement of the box elements in the image forms pixels or matrices. each image experiences degradation or loss of quality called noise. The effect of gaussian noise is the number of colored dots that are equal to the percentage of noise. This study raises the topic of improving the quality of digital images using median filter techniques to reduce noise. In this study using color image data (Red Green Blue) as test data and then converted into grayscale images to determine the gray degree of the image. The grayscale image is stored in the database. Then noise is generated by using random numbers. Noise in the form of impulse can be positive or negative in the form of adding pixel values to the original image, or it can reduce the value of the original image. The noise type used is salt & pepper. Gray degrees 0-255 spread. Can be calculated through image histograms. To reduce noise the median filter technique is used. Image histogram as a measure of the spread of numbers from the median filter. The result is a median filter can reduce noise salt and pepper by using a matrix kernel.

Reversible watermarking methods are used for copyright protection and are able to recover the host image without distortion. Robust reversible watermarking technique should resist against intentional and unintentional image processing attacks. Robust reversible watermarking techniques should have three features namely imperceptibility, reversibility and robustness. In this paper, it is proposed to develop a new robust reversible blind watermarking for color images based on histogram construction of the wavelet coefficients constructed from the cover image. In the proposed approach, the red component of a host color image is decomposed into wavelet coefficients. Motivated by the excellent spatio-frequency localization properties of wavelets, this technique is proposed in the wavelet domain. The pixels are adjusted before watermark embedding such that both overflow and underflow of pixels during embedding is avoided and image is recovered without distortion. Based on histogram construction and the local sensitivity of Human Visual System (HVS) in wavelet domain, the watermark is embedded. For watermark extraction without host image, k-means clustering algorithm is proposed. The experimental results show that the proposed technique has good performance in terms of reversibility and robustness with the high quality of the watermarked image. The PSNR value of the recovered image is around 48[Formula: see text]dB which proves that the quality of the recovered image is not degraded.
