In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for summarization-based image resizing. In the past, a process of detecting precise locations of repeating patterns is required before the pattern removal step in resizing. However, it is difficult to find repeating patterns which are illuminated under different lighting conditions and viewed from different perspectives. To solve the problem, we first identify the regularity unit of repeating patterns by statistics. Then we can use the regularity unit for shift-map optimization to obtain a better resized image. The experimental results show that our method is competitive with other well-known methods.

This paper presents a deep learning-based audio-in-image watermarking scheme. Audio-in-image watermarking is the process of covertly embedding and extracting audio watermarks on a cover-image. Using audio watermarks can open up possibilities for different downstream applications. For the purpose of implementing an audio-in-image watermarking that adapts to the demands of increasingly diverse situations, a neural network architecture is designed to automatically learn the watermarking process in an unsupervised manner. In addition, a similarity network is developed to recognize the audio watermarks under distortions, therefore providing robustness to the proposed method. Experimental results have shown high fidelity and robustness of the proposed blind audio-in-image watermarking scheme.

Criminal investigation image segmentation is considered one of the most important tasks in the field of criminal investigation imageprocessing. However, the segmentation for criminal investigation images is a challenging task due to natural or human factors. In this paper, an image threshold segmentation algorithm based on fuzzy Kaniadakis entropy was proposed for criminal investigation image segmentation. Firstly, the weighted least squares filter was used for image pre-processing. Then, by using membership functions, image fuzzy sets were constructed based on restricted dissimilarity function. Finally, the maximum fuzzy Kaniadakis entropy was corresponded to the optimal segmentation threshold. The experimental results demonstrate that compared with several existing entropy-based thresholding algorithms, the proposed algorithm is effective in terms of visual effects and segmentation quality measures.
