This paper presents a watermarking method for copyright protection and illegal copy prevention of mobile 3D contents. The proposed method embeds copyright information and user's phone number into spatial domain and encryption domain of mobile animation data based on Buyer-Seller watermarking protocol. Furthermore, we insert user's operation key so that only authorized user can play 3D animation game in mobile device. We implemented the proposed method by using mobile animation tool, G3-SDK. From experimental results, we verified that the proposed method is capable of copyright protection and illegal copy prevention since the watermark can be well extracted against geometrical attacks, such as noise addition, data accuracy variableness and data up/down scaling.

The field of medical images has been digitalized as the development of computer and the digitalization of the medical instruments. As a result it causes a lot of problems such as an illegal copy related to medical images and property right of the medical images. Therefore, digital watermarking is used for discrimination whether the data are modified or not. It is also used to protect both the property right of medical images and the private life of many patients. The proposed theories, the Non-blind and the Blind method, have two problems. One is needed an original image and the other is using a gaussian watermarking. This paper proposes the new Blind Watermarking using binary images in order to easily recognize the results of watermark. This algorithm is described that an watermark of a binary image is wavelet-transformed, and then a transformed watermark is inserted in medium-band of frequency domains of original image by the Circular Input method. The propose method presented the good performance of over 0.97 in NC.

This paper presents a wavelet-based watermarking algorithm to securely hide biometric features such as face and fingerprint and effectively extract them with less distortion of the concealed data. To hide the biometric features, we proposed a determination method of insert location based on wavelet transform and adaptive weight method according to the image characteristics. The hidden features are effectively extracted by applying the inverse wavelet transform to the watermarked image. To show the effectiveness, we analyze the various performance such as PSNR and correlation of watermark features before and after applying watermarking. Also, we evaluate the effect of watermaking algorithm with respect to biometric system such as recognition rate. Recognition rate shows 98.67% for multimodal biometric systems consisted of face and fingerprint. From these, we confirm that the proposed method makes it possible to effectively hide and extract the biometric features without lowering recognition rate.

For decoding-compatible parallel Deflate algorithm, this study proposed a new method of the control header being made in such a way that essential information for parallel compression and decompression are stored in the Disposed Bit Area (DBA) of the non-compression block and being inserted into the compressed blocks. Through this, parallel compression and decompression are possible while maintaining perfect compatibility with the existing decoder. After applying this method, the compression time was reduced by up to 71.2% compared to the sequential processing method, and the parallel decompression time was reduced by up to 65.7%. In particular, it is well known that parallel decompression is impossible due to the structural limitations of the Deflate algorithm. However, the decoder equipped with the proposed method enables high-speed parallel decompression at the algorithm level and maintains compatibility, so that parallelly compressed data can be decoded normally by existing decoder programs.

The layered organic-inorganic hybrid compounds($C_6H_5CH_2NH_3)_2CuCl_4$ and ($NH_3C_6/H_4C_2H_4_6/H_4NH_3)CuCl_4$ have been directly synthesized. From the X-ray diffraction data and the organic guest size, the orientation of the intercalated organic amine was determined. The inorganic sheets consist of $CuCl_4^{2-}$layers of comer-sharing octahedra copper chloride. The protonated organic amine was intercalated into the $CuCl_4^{2-}$layers with bilayer structure for ($C_6H_5CH_2NH_3)_2CuCl_4$ and monolayer structure for ($NH_3C_6/H_4C_2H_4_6/H_4NH_3)CuCl_4$.

In the analyzed cardiac CT algorithm applied when comparing the MAR self-made metal artifact reduction in pacemaker inserted phantom degree. Result of comparing the energy value by CT showed a decrease in the CT value in the case of BKG 40 KeV in WSA maximum decreased to 663.2% in the case of 140 KeV BHA were increased a maximum of 56.2%. In addition, the maximum was decreased by approximately 145% based on a 70 KeV artifacts in CT value comparison by type WSA, BHA was to increase up to approximately 46.38%. MAR Algorithm is believed to provide a more quality cardiac CT image if the energy changes, or have the effect that by type and irrespective of reduced metal artifacts occurrence of artifacts applied to the pacemaker when tracking a heart CT scan after inserting MAR algorithm.

In some volume visualization fields such as medical imaging, anisotropic volume data are more common than isotropic ones. In this paper, we propose an efficient rendering method for anisotropic volume data, which directly computes the intensity of intermediate samples by interpolating the intensity of two corresponding voxels on consecutive slices. Unlike density interpolation method, it does not require a preprocessing step for generating intermediate slices or additional memory for storing them. Additionally, we propose an adaptive intermediate voxel insertion method that avoids overblurring on object surfaces. This may occur when we render high frequency areas using the intensity interpolation method. Using these methods, we can improve the rendering speed without sacrificing image quality.

This paper presents a robust watermarking approach that the frequency coefficients of the binary logo image are inserted in the DC and each frequency area of the host image for copyright protection of image data. We use the 1 level discrete wavelet transform(DWT) coefficients of 64*64 binary logo image as watermark because the presentation of a recognizable mark is much more convincing than numerical values and allows the opportunity to exploit the human visual system's ability to recognize a pattern. The proposed method makes use of 1-level DWT of the logo image, the DWT coefficients of the logo image are inserted by human visual system(HVS) and region of interest(ROI) in the frequency domain of the host image. Thereby, the detected logo image confirms copyright. Because small size watermark is inserted by HVS and ROI, the results confirm the superiority of the Proposed method on invisibility and robustness.

la this paper, a new digital watermarking algorithm using wavelet transform in frequency domain is suggested. The wavelet coefficients of low frequency subband are utilized to embed the watermark, After the original image is transformed using discrete wavelet transform, their coefficients are transformed into efficient1y in Sequency domain. DCT and FFT transforms are utilized in this processing. Watermark image of general image format is transformed using DCT and the hiding watermark into wavelet coefficients is equally distributed in frequency domain. Next, these wavelet coefficients are performed with inverse transform. The detection process of watermark is performed with reverse direction to insertion process. In this paper, we developed core watermark technologies which are a data hiding technology to hide unique logo mark which symbolizes the copyright and a robust protection technology to protect logo data from external attack like as compression, filtering, resampling, cropping. The experimental results show that two suggested watermarking technologies are invisible and robust.

Despite all the recent advances in biodegradable material-based microneedles, the bending and failure (especially buckling) of a biodegradable microneedle during skin tissue insertion remains a major technical hurdle for its large-scale commercialization. A reduction in skin tissue puncture force during microneedle insertion remains an essential issue in successfully developing a biodegradable microneedle. Here, we consider uniaxial and equibiaxial prestrains applied to a skin tissue as mechanophysical stimuli that can reduce the skin tissue puncture force, and investigate the effect of prestrain on the changes in skin tissue puncture force. For a porcine skin tissue similar to that of humans, the skin tissue puncture force of a flat-end microneedle is measured with a z-axis stage equipped with a load cell, which provides a force-time curve during microneedle insertion. The findings of this study lead to a quantitative characterization of the relationship between prestrain and the skin tissue puncture force.
