JPEG reversible data hiding method based on optimal DCT frequency embedding by Ziyang ZHOU, Yun TAN, Jiaohua QIN, Xuyu XIANG

“…Joint photographic experts group (JPEG) images are widely used on the Internet due to their ability to maintain good picture quality while requiring less storage space.Reversible data hiding (RDH) techniques for JPEG images enable the hiding and extraction of secret information while allowing for lossless restoration of the original image.RDH is of great significance in file management and image authentication.However, many existing RDH methods result in a significant increase in the storage space of the encoded image after embedding secret information.For methods based on discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficient embedding, the key issue that affects the performance of reversible information hiding in JPEG images is how to select the frequency band position.A reversible information hiding method for JPEG images was proposed, based on optimal DCT frequency embedding.The entropy decoded JPEG image was divided into 8×8 non-overlapping DCT blocks.The average texture complexity of each DCT block was calculated and ordered in ascending order.Then the alternating current (AC) in adjacent DCT blocks was paired pairwise.By satisfying the capacity of the information to be embedded, the optimal AC coefficient frequency position set was obtained from the distortion cost function of the AC coefficient frequency.The secret information was embedded according to the designed two-dimensional histogram mapping strategy.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can reduce the expansion of the loaded image file’s storage size compared to existing methods, while maintaining good visual quality of the cover image.…”

Evolutionary game and simulation analysis of tripartite subjects in public health emergencies under government reward and punishment mechanisms by Dandan Gao, Wei Guo

“…The research findings indicate that (1) For the tripartite entities of public health emergencies, the key for strategy choices is to reduce the gain obtained from illegal production and non-cooperation with prevention and control. (2) The strength of the initial willingness to participate has a significant effect on the evolution strategies of each subject. (3) For pharmaceutical companies and the public, the incentives and penalties of local governments can promote the former’s compliance and the latter’s cooperation in prevention and control. …”

Research on multi-stream variable resolution compression and transmission technology based on scene elements in Internet of things environment by Shangwu XIAO, Ruimin HU, Yu CHEN, Jing XIAO

“…In response to the demand of wide coverage and massive access,low bandwidth and low power consumption is an important research direction to solve this problem.In smart cities,security monitoring and other application areas,video surveillance based on the region of interest of the face are particularly important.It is a feasible direction to realize the extraction of scene elements,transmission of key information with very low bandwidth and the application of video technology in the Internet of things environment through the strategy of multi-stream differential coding.By designing a face-oriented variable resolution hybrid coding algorithm,the bandwidth could be saved and the power consumption could be reduced greatly,the access requirements of narrowband Internet of things could be met.Through the face detection algorithm based on the deep learning Caffe framework,the face region of interest was acquired in key frames,and the face image was encoded with high resolution.By designing the code rate adaptive allocation algorithm,the bandwidth was utilized rationally,and the encoded face information and the full background content were distinguished.The encoded mixed code stream information was transmitted through the narrowband; the key frame-based face enhancement decoding algorithm was adopted at the receiving end to obtain a partial HD high-definition monitoring picture.Experiments show that when the video encoded by the proposed method is transmitted in a narrow band whose transmission rate is 120~160 kbit/s,the face image can maintain the same definition as the original HD monitoring acquisition end,which has strong practicability.…”
