In this paper, an efficient reversible watermarking algorithm is proposed. By using the proposed algorithm, it is possible to increase the amount of copyright-related information to be embedded in cover image. Depending on the spatial locality and surface characteristics, it is possible to precisely predict the pixel value using neighboring pixels. If the predicted pixel value almost the same as the pixel value of the cover image, the differential value between the predicted pixel value and the pixel value of cover image is very small. So, the frequency is increased greatly at the peak point of histogram of difference sequence. Thus, it is possible to increase greatly the amount of secret data to be embedded in cover image. The experimental results show that the proposed watermarking algorithm is superior to the previous algorithms.

In this paper, we have effectively used the surface characteristics and local similarity existing in image, solved the problem that there is no CZP(Closest Zero point) that occurs in a very few images to hide secrete data into cover image by using histogram shift. By applying the proposed technique, it is possible to hide secrete data invisibly into the cover image, extract secrete data from the stego-image with no data loss, and completely restore the original cover image. It is impossible to know whether the secrete data is hidden in the stego-image because the stego-image constructed by applying the proposed technique has a good visual quality that can not distinguish the difference from the cover image. The proposed method is able to hide secrete data at various levels compared to conventional APD(Adjacent Pixel Difference) technique, and hide secrete data up to 25.1% more than APD in cover image.

In this paper, an effective reversible data embedding algorithm was proposed to embed secrete data into image. In the proposed algorithm, prediction image is generated by accurately predicting pixel values using local similarity existing in image, difference sequence is generated using the generated prediction image and original cover image, and then histogram shift technique is applied to create a stego-image with secrete data hidden. Applying the proposed algorithm, secrete data can be extracted from the stego-image and the original cover image can be restored without loss. Experimental results show that it is possible to embed more secrete data into cover image than APD algorithm by applying the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, we proposed a reversible data hiding technique that greatly enhances the security of confidential data by encrypting confidential data and then spatially encrypting the encrypted confidential data and hiding it in the cover image. When a result image is generated by hiding the encrypted confidential data in the cover image using a spatial encryption technique, the quality of the result image is very good, and the original cover image and the result image cannot be visually distinguished. Since the encrypted confidential data is spatially encrypted and concealed, it is not possible to know where the encrypted confidential data is concealed in the result image, and the encrypted confidential data cannot be extracted from the result image. Even if the encrypted confidential data is extracted, the original confidential data is not known because the confidential data is encrypted. Therefore, if confidential data is concealed in images using the proposed technique, the security of confidential data is greatly improved. The proposed technique can be effectively used in medical and military applications.

본 논문에서는 비트 플래인 상에서 지역적인 복잡도를 이용하여 커버 이미지를 분할한 후 비밀 데이터를 삽입하는 스테가노그라피 방법을 연구하였다. 이 방법은 복잡도를 이용하여 비트 플래인 이미지를 informative 영역과 noise-like 영역으로 나누고, noise-like 영역에 데이터를 삽입한다. 삽입되는 데이터가 간단하다면 image conjugation을 적용하여 복잡한 형태로 만들어 커버 이미지에 삽입한다. 본 연구에서는 삽이 용량을 증가시키기 위해 복잡도를 모든 비트 플래인에 적용시키지 않고, 선택적으로 적용하여 46%의 최대 삽입용량과 화질의 증가를 얻을 수 있었다.

시트 커버 직물은 철도차량 내부 인테리어와 실내를 구성하며, 시각적으로 커버 직물의 디자인 요소 중 패턴과 쾌적한 커버지가 철도차량에 대한 전체적인 이미지를 형성하게 된다. 본 연구는 한국인의 감성에 따른 시트 패던 디자인과 쾌적한 시트 커버 직물의 요건을 제시하고자 한다. 디자인 분석체계는 패턴 디자인의 최소단위를 Pattern Primitive(PP), 최소 반복 단위를 Repealed Pattern Unit(RPU)로 개념화하여 분류하여 파악한다. 또한 쾌적하고 안락한 시트를 위해서 착석 상태에서의 열수분 전달특성과 직물의 발수도, 일광견뢰도, 마찰견뢰도, Q-max, 공기투과도, 마찰대전압 등 물리적 특성을 비교한다.

Reversible data hiding techniques have been developed to hide confidential data in the image by shifting the histogram of the image. These techniques have a weakness in which the security of hidden confidential data is weak. In this paper, to solve this drawback, we propose a technique of triple encrypting confidential data using pixel value information and hiding it in the cover image. When confidential data is triple encrypted using the proposed technique and hidden in the cover image to generate a stego-image, since encryption based on pixel information is performed three times, the security of confidential data hidden by triple encryption is greatly improved. In the experiment to measure the performance of the proposed technique, even if the triple-encrypted confidential data was extracted from the stego-image, the original confidential data could not be extracted without the encryption keys. And since the image quality of the stego-image is 48.39dB or higher, it was not possible to recognize whether confidential data was hidden in the stego-image, and more than 30,487 bits of confidential data were hidden in the stego-image. The proposed technique can extract the original confidential data from the triple-encrypted confidential data hidden in the stego-image without loss, and can restore the original cover image from the stego-image without distortion. Therefore, the proposed technique can be effectively used in applications such as military, medical, digital library, where security is important and it is necessary to completely restore the original cover image.

Steganography is to conceal the existence of secrete data itself. The Emulab is a framework to provide real systems and network topology that can set up at anytime by researchers. In this paper, we show that steganography techniques can be applied in the Emulab environment. Steganography methods are evaluated on a standalone and sharing environments using the color bitmap images. The cover image is divided into RGB channels and then embedded the secret data at each client. The experimental results demonstrate that execution time is better in client/server environment as cover image size is increasing.

In order to enhance the productivity of mobile and develop reliable software, the test of mobile application software should be required absolutely. The most important way to communicate to users has been used to GUI. But GUI test method in mobile has no the test automation system except manual test by checklist. In this paper we present a test method and tool by image flow to reduce the time required and finds out errors to GUI, by carrying out the study on automatic GUI testing tool based on image flow to GUI test of mobile application.
