Novel frequency domain extracted method (FDEM) to obtain high range resolution profile (HRRP) for frequency stepped synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is proposed in this paper, and the mathematical principle and formulas of this new HRRP obtaining idea combined with classical fast Fourier transform (FFT), chirp z transform (CZT), and single point Fourier transform (SPFT) are deduced, analyzed, and compared in detail. Based on the HRRP data, precision imaging processing is completed using a data block partition based fast factorized back projection algorithm. Imaging validations are executed and all results proved that the FDEM has a great capability of antijamming. It is more effective than conventional time domain IFFT method (TDM) and shows a great promise in frequency stepped radar imaging and applications.

Image encryption is a useful technique of image content protection. In this paper, we propose a novel image encryption algorithm by jointly exploiting random overlapping block partition, double spiral scans, Henon chaotic map, and Lü chaotic map. Specifically, the input image is first divided into overlapping blocks and pixels of every block are scrambled via double spiral scans. During spiral scans, the start-point is randomly selected under the control of Henon chaotic map. Next, image content based secret keys are generated and used to control the Lü chaotic map for calculating a secret matrix with the same size of input image. Finally, the encrypted image is obtained by calculating XOR operation between the corresponding elements of the scrambled image and the secret matrix. Experimental result shows that the proposed algorithm has good encrypted results and outperforms some popular encryption algorithms.

After conducting deep research on all existing reversible data hiding (RDH) methods based on Alattar’s integer transform, we discover that the frequently-used method in obtaining the difference value list of an image block may lead to high embedding distortion. To this end, we propose an improved Alattar’s transform-based-RDH-method. Firstly, the irregular block partition method which makes full use of high correlation between two neighboring pixels is proposed to increase the embedding performance. Specifically, each image block is composed of a center pixel and several pixels surrounding this center pixel. Thus, the difference value list is created by using the center pixel to predict each pixel surrounding it. Since the center pixel is highly related to each pixel surrounding it, a sharp difference value histogram is generated. Secondly, the mean value of an image block in Alattar’s integer transform has embedding invariance property, and therefore, it can be used for increasing the estimation performance of a block’s local complexity. Finally, two-layer embedding is combined into our scheme in order to optimize the embedding performance. Experimental results show that our method is effective.

Most patterns in continuous video sequences are similar. Temporal distortion, e.g. frames dropping, insertions, transposition, is a challenging issue for video reconstruction to find the actual missing positions in video sequences. The aim of this paper is to raise the detection accuracy and synchronize video frames back to original positions following temporal synchronization distortions. The successive video frames have similar statistics but the statistics in some local regions may differ from one another. Therefore, the block partition is partitioned into non-overlapping blocks by each frame, and then the local variance is calculated and taken as the block feature in each block. For most of the video frames, the pixels within the frame blocks are correlated and the maximum eigenvalue will be far from other eigenvalues. In this case, the maximum eigenvalue is set as the dominated block feature. For less correlated blocks, the values of the eigenvalues will be a little closer. In this case, the mean value of the eigenvalues represents the dominated block feature. Then, the sum of variance is regarded as the frame feature to calculate from these selective dominated blocks. Simulation results show the proposed methods are robust in evaluating the missing positions against temporal distortions.
