Perceptual image hashing is pivotal in various image processing applications, including image authentication, content-based image retrieval, tampered image detection, and copyright protection. This paper proposes a novel approach for perceptual image hashing by combining the Fresnelet Transform with Gradient Directional Patterns. Using the FG-PIH technique, the proposed method achieves superior robustness against common image processing attacks while maintaining perceptual similarity for near-duplicate images. Experimental results on standard benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed Fresnelet Transform-based perceptual image hashing scheme. Furthermore, comparative analysis against state-of-the-art methods underscores the competitiveness of our approach in terms of hash quality and computational complexity.
In this paper, we have made a comparative analysis of ear recognition for constrained and unconstrained dataset. We have also analyzed the effect of image quality like illumination, occlusion, brightness, and pose var...

Extensive efforts have been made in designing large multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO)arrays. Nevertheless, improvements in conventional antenna characteristics cannot ensure significant MIMO performance improvement in realistic multipath environments. Array decorrelation techniques have been proposed, achieving correlation reductions by either tilting the antenna beams or shifting the phase centers away from each other. Hence, these methods are mainly limited to MIMO terminals with small arrays. To avoid such problems, this work proposes a decorrelation optimization technique based on phase correcting surface(PCS)that can be applied to large MIMO arrays, enhancing their MIMO performances in a realistic(non-isotropic)multipath environment. First, by using a near-field channel model and an optimization algorithm, a near-field phase distribution improving the MIMO capacity is obtained. Then the PCS(consisting of square elements)is used to cover the array's aperture, achieving the desired near-field phase *** examples demonstrate the effectiveness of this PCS-based near-field optimization technique. One is a1 × 4 dual-polarized patch array(working at 2.4 GHz)covered by a 2 × 4 PCS with 0.6λ center-to-center distance. The other is a 2 × 8 dual-polarized dipole array, for which a 4 × 8 PCS with 0.4λ center-to-center distance is designed. Their MIMO capacities can be effectively enhanced by 8% and 10% in single-cell and multi-cell scenarios, respectively. The PCS has insignificant effects on mutual coupling, matching, and the average radiation efficiency of the patch array, and increases the antenna gain by about 2.5 dB while keeping broadside radiations to ensure good cellular coverage, which benefits the MIMO performance of the *** proposed technique offers a new perspective for improving large MIMO arrays in realistic multipath in a statistical sense.
