Adaptive digital watermarking algorithm under image quad-tree partition by Wen-xing LIU, Wei CHEN, Yuan LIU

“…An adaptive digital watermarking algorithm based on image quad-tree partition was proposed.The original image was approximated by various least square polynomial patches at multiple scales and was organized by a quad-tree structure.At the same time,this representation also reflected the texture information of image.By calculating the watermark embedding intensity in different regions,an adaptive digital watermarking scheme based on the number of the refined meshes in each region was realized.The experiment results show that this algorithm has the good imperceptibility and robustness.…”

“…This article proposes a double hypothesis: periodicals act as repositories for the history of poetry in Belgium and the polysystemic approach allows us to study the latter. Assuming that the various literatures in Belgium (such as the francophone, the Flemish, the French or the English literature) maintain systemic relations, we may suppose that exchanges take place between these different systems, even within a periodical propagating certain specific literary and aesthetic views. …”
