In this paper, we propose a new framework for reversible data hiding in encrypted images, where both the hiding capacity and lossless compression efficiency are flexibly controlled. There exist two main purposes; one is to provide highly efficient lossless compression under a required hiding capacity, while the other is to enable us to extract an embedded payload from a decrypted image. The proposed method can decrypt marked encrypted images without data extraction and derive marked images. An original image is arbitrarily divided into two regions. Two different methods for reversible data hiding in encrypted images (RDH-EI) are used in our method, and each one is used for either region. Consequently, one region can be decrypted without data extraction and also losslessly compressed using image coding standards even after the processing. The other region possesses a significantly high hiding rate, around 1 bpp. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method in terms of hiding capacity and lossless compression efficiency.

Abstract Contemporary and future high spectral resolution sounders represent a significant technical advancement for environmental and meteorological prediction and monitoring. Given their large volume of spectral observations, the use of robust data compression techniques will be beneficial to data transmission and storage. In this paper, a novel adaptive vector quantization (VQ)-based linear prediction (AVQLP) method for lossless compression of high spectral resolution sounder data is proposed. The AVQLP method optimally adjusts the quantization codebook sizes to yield the maximum compression on prediction residuals and side information. The method outperforms the state-of-the-art compression methods [Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG)-LS, JPEG2000 Parts 1 and 2, Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) Image Data Compression (IDC) 5/3, Context-Based Adaptive Lossless Image Coding (CALIC), and 3D Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT)] and achieves a new high in lossless compression for the standard test set of 10 NASA Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) granules. It also compares favorably in terms of computational efficiency and compression gain to recently reported adaptive clustering methods for lossless compression of high spectral resolution data. Given its superior compression performance, the AVQLP method is well suited to ground operation of high spectral resolution satellite data compression for rebroadcast and archiving purposes.

In this paper, we will introduce a novel low-cost, small size, portable nail printer. The usage of this system is to print any desired pattern on a finger nail in just a few minutes. The detailed pre-processing procedures will be described in this paper. These include image processing to find the correct printing zone, and color management to match the patterns’ color. In each phase, a novel algorithm will be introduced to refine the result. The paper will state the mathematical principles behind each phase, and show the experimental results, which illustrate the algorithms’ capabilities to handle the task.
