Compression Technique

Nowadays, the development of technology which involves multimedia data is widely used to help better understanding in spreading information. Image is known as 2D signal which contain huge data especially a high resolution image. This paper shows the comparison of applying lossy and lossless compression on the image data. Image compression is necessary in reducing the size of image for storage or transmission purpose to support most of the application nowadays. The technique applied in this paper is the hybrid of Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) technique and Huffman coding technique which are classified as lossy and lossless compression, respectively. The performance of image compression are evaluated in terms of compression ratio, Mean Square Error (MSE), Power Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) and computing time. Several types of evaluation can determine better technique to apply on specific type of application. The stand-alone of each DWT and Huffman technique are evaluated before applying hybrid of DWT and Huffman technique. After conducting a comprehensive observation, the hybrid technique can compress with ratio about 1:17 to 1:27 due to the support from DWT technique that apply filter concept. The MSE value is high with the average about 69 which contributes to low PSNR value with about 29 to 30 dB due to the relation of PSNR equation with MSE value. Besides, the SSIM value is 0.6 or about 40% far from the original image that affect the output image. Despite of that, the computing time is fast with about 3 to 4 seconds which has been improved from stand-alone Huffman technique. Therefore, hybrid compression is capable of supporting each other techniques in stand-alone technique.

Recently, due to the increase in popularity of the Internet, the problem of digital data security over the Internet is increasing at a phenomenal rate. Watermarking is used for various notable applications to secure digital data from unauthorized individuals. To achieve this, in this article, we propose a joint encryption then-compression based watermarking technique for digital document security. This technique offers a tool for confidentiality, copyright protection, and strong compression performance of the system. The proposed method involves three major steps as follows: (1) embedding of multiple watermarks through non-sub-sampled contourlet transform, redundant discrete wavelet transform, and singular value decomposition; (2) encryption and compression via SHA-256 and Lempel Ziv Welch (LZW), respectively; and (3) extraction/recovery of multiple watermarks from the possibly distorted cover image. The performance estimations are carried out on various images at different attacks, and the efficiency of the system is determined in terms of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and normalized correlation (NC), structural similarity index measure (SSIM), number of changing pixel rate (NPCR), unified averaged changed intensity (UACI), and compression ratio (CR). Furthermore, the comparative analysis of the proposed system with similar schemes indicates its superiority to them.

Watermarking Scheme

This paper proposes an encryption-based image watermarking scheme using a combination of second-level discrete wavelet transform (2DWT) and discrete cosine transform (DCT) with an auto extraction feature. The 2DWT has been selected based on the analysis of the trade-off between imperceptibility of the watermark and embedding capacity at various levels of decomposition. DCT operation is applied to the selected area to gather the image coefficients into a single vector using a zig-zig operation. We have utilized the same random bit sequence as the watermark and seed for the embedding zone coefficient. The quality of the reconstructed image was measured according to bit correction rate, peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), and similarity index. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed scheme is highly robust under different types of image-processing attacks. Several image attacks, e.g., JPEG compression, filtering, noise addition, cropping, sharpening, and bit-plane removal, were examined on watermarked images, and the results of our proposed method outstripped existing methods, especially in terms of the bit correction ratio (100%), which is a measure of bit restoration. The results were also highly satisfactory in terms of the quality of the reconstructed image, which demonstrated high imperceptibility in terms of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR ≥ 40 dB) and structural similarity (SSIM ≥ 0.9) under different image attacks.

The growth of cloud based remote healthcare and diagnosis services has resulted, Medical Service Providers (MSP) to share diagnositic data across diverse environement. This medical data are accessed across diverse platforms, such as, mobile and web services which needs huge memory for storage. Compression technique helps to address and solve storage requirements and provides for sharing medical data over transmission medium. Loss of data is not acceptable for medical image processing. As a result, this work considers lossless compression for medical in particular and in general any greyscale images. Modified Huffman encoding (MH) is one of the widely used technique for achieving lossless compression. However, due to longer bit length of codewords the existing Modified Huffman (MH) encoding technique is not efficient for medical imaging processing. Firstly, this work presents Modified Refined Huffman (MRH) for performing compression of greyscale and binary images by using diagonal scanning method. Secondly, to minimize the computing time parallel encoding method is used. Experiments are conducted for wide variety of images and performance is evaluated in terms of Compression Ratio, Computation Time and Memory Utilization. The proposed MRH achieves significant performance improvement in terms of Compression Ratio, Computation Time and Memory Usage over its state-of-the-art techniques, such as, LZW, CCITT G4, JBIG2 and Levenberg–Marquardt (LM) Neural Network algorithm. The overall results achieved show the applicability of MRH for different application services.

The Given

The advancement of Internet technologies has led to the availability of audios, images, and videos in different forms. The unauthorized users are exploiting the use of multimedia by transmitting them on various Internet sites to earn money unethically without the intervention of the original copyright holder. Watermarking is a technique used to hide the signal known as watermark inside multimedia data that is not visible to the intruder to manipulate any information. In this paper, a secured watermarking approach is developed to tackle issues related to copyright protection and ownership identification. A Secured Graph Based Transform, Singular Valued Decomposition, and Hyperchaotic Encryption hybrid techniques are proposed. The watermark cannot be embedded in every frame of the video as it adds to the size of the video and watermark can be easily retrieved by an intruder. Therefore, the frame selection algorithm has been proposed in the given work. Adding watermark in the frame adds to the challenge of quality loss. The quality loss is addressed in this work. Various attacks have been applied on the watermarked frames to calculate the performance of the proposed technique using quality metrics: Peak Signal to Noise Ratio, Structural Similarity Index, Normalized Correlation, and Bit Error Rate. The results indicate that the proposed technique is effective against various attack scenarios.

Steganography is a widely-used technique for digital data hiding. Image steganography is the most popular among all other kinds of steganography. In this article, a novel key-based blind method for RGB image steganography where multiple images can be hidden simultaneously is described. The proposed method is based on Discrete Cosine Transformation (DCT) and Discrete Wavelet Transformation (DWT) which provides enhanced security as well as improve the quality of the stego. Here, the cover image has been taken as RGB although the method can be implemented on grayscale images as well. The fundamental concept of visual cryptography has been utilized here in order to increase the capacity to a great extent. To make the method more robust and imperceptible, pseudo-random number sequence and a correlation coefficient have been used for embedding and the extraction of the secrets, respectively. The robustness of the method is tested against steganalysis attacks such as crop, rotate, resize, noise addition, and histogram equalization. The method has been applied on multiple sets of images and the quality of the resultant images have been analyzed through various matrices namely ‘Peak Signal to Noise Ratio,' ‘Structural Similarity index,' ‘Structural Content,' and ‘Maximum Difference.' The results obtained are very promising and have been compared with existing methods to prove its efficiency.
