Robust DWT-HMM image watermarking algorithm optimized with content-adaptive approach by WANG Chun-tao1, NI Jiang-qun1, HUANG Ji-wu1, ZHANG Rong-yue1, LUO Xi-zhang1

“…A robust watermarking algorithm based on content-adaptive approach was proposed to optimize the tradeoff between robustness and imperceptibility,which was characterized as follows: the entropy masking proposed by Watson etc.was constructed in wavelet domain,which was then used to constitute the integrated HVS model;three different measures,namely,energy,entropy and integrated HVS,for content-adaptive selection were constructed and investigated;repeat-accumulate（RA） code with erasure and error correction was used to tackle the synchronization issue of the exact positions for watermark embedding;and a posteriori DWT-HMM detector was utilized for watermark detection.Simula-tion results show that the proposed content-adaptive watermarking algorithm,under the same imperceptibility,has con-siderable improvement in robustness performance over the traditional one with stochastic approach.…”

Distributed data trading algorithm based on multi-objective utility optimization by Xiaohong HUANG, Yong ZHANG, Desheng SHAN, Yekui QIAN, Lu HAN, Dandan LI, Qun CONG

“…The traditional centralized data trading models are not well applicable to the current intelligent era where everything is interconnected and real-time data is generated, and in order to maximize the use of collected data, it is essential to design an effective data trading framework.Therefore, a distributed data trading framework based on consortium blockchain was proposed, which realized P2P data trading without relying on a third party.Aiming at the problem that existing data trading models only consider the factors of the data itself and ignore the factors related to user tasks, a bi-level multi-objective optimization model was constructed based on multi-dimensional factors, such as data quality, data attributes, attribute relevance and consumer competition, to optimize the utilities of data provider (DP) and data consumer (DC).To solve the above model, an improved multi-objective genetic algorithm-collaborative NSGAII was proposed, calculated by the cooperation of DP, DC and data aggregator (AG).The simulation results show that the collaborative NSGAII achieves better performance in terms of the utilities of DP and DC, thus realizing more effective data trading.…”
