We developed a Video Multi Processor (VMP) for image compression and decompression schemes of MPEG (especially MPEG-2) in this study. The VMP would apply to programmable architecture, various flexibilities to implement real-time image compression algorithm, and other many applications such as DVD-CD ROM authoring tool and videophone/teleconferencing systems. IO architecture of the VMP is designed for the multi-processor functionality in which uses many VMPs according to required arithmetic quantities of the system. Further, the architecture of the VMP system is simplified by processing the necessary peripheral IO system operations within the processor.

In this paper, a lossless image coding scheme is proposed, which is based on Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) pixel value predictor, contextual error feedback and context adaptive arithmetic coding. The use of BPNN predictor in the proposed image compression scheme has resulted in improved compression ratio in comparison to the benchmark lossless compression schemes, LOCO-I and CALIC. The main advantage of BPNN pixel value predictor is its capability to adapt itself to the image being coded. The use of BPNN predictor resulted in lower values for entropy as compared to other predictors such as, MED (Median Edge Detection predictor) and GAP (Gradient-Adjusted Predictor) used in LOCO-I and CALIC respectively. The average bits per pixel (bpp) value obtained by utilizing the proposed scheme for nine test images indicate an improvement by 7.6% over LOCO-I, 2.85% over CALIC and 8.82% over JPEG2000 in lossless mode.

Due to the ubiquitous nature of the Internet, it is being targeted to support video applications, such as video-on-demand (VOD). However, with the growing popularity of the Internet, congestion in the network poses a great hurdle in transferring real-time video data. For pre-compressed MPEG-2 video streams, the network may not be able to maintain acceptable level of quality of service (QoS) if there are insufficient resources available during the life of the connection. In such situations, we can use rate control to reduce the bit rate of the video according to the available resources. In this paper we propose a scaleable delivery mechanism for pre-compressed VBR MPEG-2 video streams, where the traffic rate is adapted according to the network congestion status. Using this scheme, a reasonable level of QoS is maintained when the network is congested. Based on the scheme a prototype system has been developed which demonstrates the usefulness of the scheme.

In this paper, an adaptive blind watermarking algorithm is proposed, which presents a new method of block classification based on the characteristic of visual masking of HVS (human visual system) model, including energy and variance. According to the new classification method, classify image blocks and select quantization pedometers adaptively to embed the watermark into DC component. At the same time, because of the shortage of watermark intensity only embedded into DC components, the algorithm presents that the same watermark is embedded into mid-frequency subbands by changing the order of these coefficients under invisibility. This is a blind watermarking algorithm, the watermark can be extracted without the original picture needed. Experimental results and attacks analysis show that the proposed algorithm is effective and robust to common image processing and some geometric attacks, such as JPEG lossy compression, scaling, additive noise, rotation, histogram equilibrium, contrast adjusting, brightness adjusting, filtering and so on.

JPEG 2000 is a wavelet-based image compression standard and coding system. It will supersede the original JPEG standard in the future. Compared with Counterlet transform or Gabor filter, wavelet transform used in JPEG 2000 is less effective to extract robust edge features. In this paper, a novel discrete wavelet transform (DWT) based image hashing algorithm is proposed. Robust bits of HL, LH and HH sub-band in the same middle-frequency scale are extracted first. Then, they are fused to generate the hash. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is highly robust to content preserving operations as well as having an excellent performance on tampering localization. In addition, since robust features are extracted in the same scale, the generation of hash is only needed to decode JPEG 2000 image code stream partially.

Existing image codec technologies are based on transform which make image signal can be compressed, while quantization has been used to control bit rates. Compressive sensing (CS), which is a novel signal processing and recovery method, can be applied to image decoding to replace inverse transform reconstruction. This paper proposes an error estimate method based on equalization quantization noise model for image codec. Due to the robust character of CS, it can upgrade the quality of reconstruction when error has been estimated accurately. With designed equalization matrix, a new norm constraint which can enhance the quality of CS recovery significantly has been shown. A CS-based JPEG decoding scheme based on quantization error estimate is also presented, and experimental evidence exhibits more gains over CS reconstruction without error estimation and original JPEG decoder.

This paper presents a framework for a customizable MPEG-4 face player using a FAPs (Facial Animation Parameters) sequence recovered from a real-time image sequence. First, the 3D nonrigid motion and structure of the facial features is recovered from a 2D image sequence and a "person-specific" model of the face. The model consists of the intensity and range image of the face. Then, the FAPs are computed from the recovered 3D structure. The customizable MPEG4 face animation is generated using a FAP sequence and a model of a specific person. The dataset of four face image sequences from three different face orientations equipped with range images are used. The GT (ground truth) results are generated using the 3D structure provided by range images. The results are evaluated quantitatively by comparing recovered FAP values, and qualitatively by comparing the generated MPEG-4 animations. FAPs are recovered up to 8% (relative) and 16 FAP units (absolute) accuracy and the animation is nearly identical to the MPEG-4 animation using GT FAPs.

Video piracy has become an increasing problem particularly with the proliferation of media sharing through the advancement of internet services and various storage technologies. Thus, research in copyright protection mechanisms, where one of which includes digital watermarking has been receiving an increasing interest from scientists especially in designing a seamless algorithm for effective implementation. Basically digital watermarking involves embedding secret symbols known as watermarks within video data which can be used later for copyright detection purposes. This paper presents the state of the art in video watermarking techniques. It provides a critical review on various available techniques. In addition, it addresses the main key performance indicators which include robustness, speed, capacity, fidelity, imperceptibility and computational complexity.

Copy-move image forgery (CMIF) is one of the greatest threats in the field of image forensic analysis where a small region of an image is copied and pasted at other positions of the same image. This paper proposes a hybrid copy-move image forgery detection (CMIFD) approach. Initially, the SIFT algorithm is applied to the entire image and the extracted key-points are matched via 2NN process to obtain matched key-points. Furthermore, larger blocks are formed around each matched key-points followed by the computation of Combined Pseudo Zernike moment invariants (CPZMI) for each block. CPZMI feature descriptors of these blocks are simultaneously invariant to rotation, scaling, blurring and robust to noise. Consequently, comparison of CPZMI feature descriptors allows us to obtain stable matched key-points. Our proposed CMIFD technique is validated using benchmark datasets and found to exhibit better performance as compared with existing state-of-the-art techniques.
