Multibit image watermarking algorithm resistant to geometric attacks based on level set method

“…A multibit watermarking algorithm based on level set method was proposed.First,the stable location of the unit disk was found using level set method.Then,pseudo-Zernike moments were calculated.At last,the watermark was embedded by modifying the pseudo-Zernike moments.In the extraction process,the root-mean-square-error method was employed to detect the watermark.Simulation results show that the algorithm overcomes the defect of the traditional al-gorithm based on pseudo-Zernike moments,while be robust against geometric attacks.…”

Molecular Distributions and Abundances in the Binary-shaped Outflow of V Hya by Mark A. Siebert, Raghvendra Sahai, Samantha Scibelli, Anthony J. Remijan

“…We find that the average abundances of detected species are within a factor of ∼5 from sources with similar mass-loss rates; however, the distribution of daughter species in V Hya is much more compact, with carbon chain species (CCH, C _4 H, and HC _3 N) appearing with abundances >10 ^−7 even in the innermost sampled regions (200 au) of the disk.…”
