A novel audio watermarking scheme using multiscale wavelet modulation

A novel audio watermarking scheme to embed robust and inaudible watermarks for the purpose of copyright protection is proposed. The key innovation is to add time-frequency redundancy into watermark signals by multiscale wavelet modulation. In order to maximize the watermarking strength within perceptual constraints, the signals synthesized from different scales are masked using a frequency auditory model, respectively, and then intergrated to form the final watermark signal. The detection structure is built using the redundancy in watermark signals, and the performance is further enhanced by modeling the statistical behaviors of wavelet coefficients as generalized Gaussian distribution. The use of original audio signal is not required in watermark detection. The experimental results show that our approach can achieve not only good transparency but also satisfying robustness to common audio manipulations.     

利用脊线检测实现视网膜图像血管中心线的精确提取

提出一种精确有效的基于脊线检测的视网膜图像血管中心线提取算法,该算法首先对原始图像进行脊线检测得到候选视网膜图像血管中心线,然后对原始图像进行照度均衡和多尺度形态学增强处理,最后对各个尺度增强图像在视场ROI区域内进行Otsu双阈值分割或单阈值分割,并将各个尺度的分割结果求和再与脊线检测结果算术相与得到最终的血管中心线。通过对25张荧光造影视网膜图像以及部分彩色视网膜图像进行测试和分析,该算法不但能够检测出低对比度血管和微小血管的中心线,而且提取的血管中心线整体连续性好。将文中算法的结果与血管手动分割血管的细化结果进行比对分析,中心线吻合率平均达到83.5%,且算法性能优于Hoover算法以及保守专家手动检测结果。

An Adaptive Multiscale Ensemble Learning Paradigm for Nonstationary and Nonlinear Energy Price Time Series Forecasting

For forecasting nonstationary and nonlinear energy prices time series, a novel adaptive multiscale ensemble learning paradigm incorporating ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), particle swarm optimization (PSO) and least square support vector machines (LSSVM) with kernel function prototype is developed. Firstly, the extrema symmetry expansion EEMD, which can effectively restrain the mode mixing and end effects, is used to decompose the energy price into simple modes. Secondly, by using the fine‐to‐coarse reconstruction algorithm, the high‐frequency, low‐frequency and trend components are identified. Furthermore, autoregressive integrated moving average is applicable to predicting the high‐frequency components. LSSVM is suitable for forecasting the low‐frequency and trend components. At the same time, a universal kernel function prototype is introduced for making up the drawbacks of single kernel function, which can adaptively select the optimal kernel function type and model parameters according to the specific data using the PSO algorithm. Finally, the prediction results of all the components are aggregated into the forecasting values of energy price time series. The empirical results show that, compared with the popular prediction methods, the proposed method can significantly improve the prediction accuracy of energy prices, with high accuracy both in the level and directional predictions.
