This letter presents a new feature extraction method based on the private energy map (PEM) technique to utilize the energy characteristics of a facial image. Compared with a non-facial image, a facial image shows large energy congestion in special regions of discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients. The PEM is generated by energy probability of the DCT coefficients of facial images. In experiments, higher face recognition performance figures of 100% for the ORL database and 98.8% for the ETRI database have been achieved.

In this paper, we proposed digital audio watermarking algorithm for high quality audio. Nowadays, digital watermark used to confirm to digital copyright protection, not only digital image but also digital audio is active in the digital watermarking study. In this paper, we proposed digital audio watermarking algorithm using psychoacoustics model and MDCT/IMDCT (Modified Discrete Cosine Transform/Inverse Modified Discrete Cosine Transform) for the high quality audio watermark. In the proposed scheme, we used to 441KHz, 128kbps and stereo audio data for audio watermarking algorithm. Audio data is passed by MDCT; watermark can be inserted into the frequency domain with 256,1024 and 2048 interval.

The multifrequency eddy current testing(ECT) have been proposed various frequency mixing algorithms. In this study, we compare these approaches to frequency mixing of ECT signals from steam generator tubes; time-domain optimization, discrete cosine transform-domain optimization. Specifically, in this study, two different frequency mixing algorithms, a time-domain optimization method and a discrete cosine transform(DCT) optimization method, are investigated using the experimental signals captured from the ASME standard tube. The DCT domain optimization method is computationally fast but produces larger amount of residue.

본 논문에서는 특이값 분해(Singular Value Decomposition)을 이용하여 이미지의 주파수 영역 내에 정보를 은닉하는 방법을 제시한다. 이미지를 주파수 영역으로 변환하기 위하여 블록 단위로 이산 코사인 변환(Discrete Cosine Transform)을 수행한다. 이후 인접한 네 블록의 DC 값들로 구성된 행렬의 특이값을 은닉하고자 하는 정보에 따라 변환한다. 원래의 DC 값은 정보에 따라 변환된 DC 값으로 대체되고 역 이산 코사인 변환(Inverse Discrete Cosine Transform)을 수행하여 정보가 은닉된 이미지를 얻는다. 제안하는 알고리즘의 성능을 분석하기 위해 JPEG(Joint Photographic Coding Experts Group), 선명화(Sharpening), 히스토그램 등화(Histogram Equalization)와 같이 다양한 이미지 변화를 거친 후, 은닉된 정보의 신뢰도를 비교한다.

Colonoscopy is currently the best technique available for the detection of colon cancer or colorectal polyps or other precursor lesions. Computer aided detection (CAD) is based on very complex pattern recognition. Local binary patterns (LBPs) are strong illumination invariant texture primitives. Histograms of binary patterns computed across regions are used to describe textures. Every pixel is contrasted relative to gray levels of neighbourhood pixels. In this study, colorectal polyp detection was performed with colonoscopy video frames, with classification via J48 and Fuzzy. Features such as color, discrete cosine transform (DCT) and LBP were used in confirming the superiority of the proposed method in colorectal polyp detection. The performance was better than with other current methods.

This paper proposes an effective method for classifying emotions of the music from its acoustical signals. Two feature sets, timbre and tempo, are directly extracted from the modified discrete cosine transform coefficients (MDCT), which are the output of partial MP3 (MPEG 1 Layer 3) decoder. Our tempo feature extraction method is based on the long-term modulation spectrum analysis. In order to effectively combine these two feature sets with different time resolution in an integrated system, a classifier with two layers based on AdaBoost algorithm is used. In the first layer the MDCT-driven timbre features are employed. By adding the MDCT-driven tempo feature in the second layer, the classification precision is improved dramatically.

The aim of this paper is to examine the effectiveness of combining three popular tools used in pattern recognition, which are the Active Appearance Model (AAM), the two-dimensional discrete cosine transform (2D-DCT), and Kernel Fisher Analysis (KFA), for face recognition across age variations. For this purpose, we first used AAM to generate an AAM-based face representation; then, we applied 2D-DCT to get the descriptor of the image; and finally, we used a multiclass KFA for dimension reduction. Classification was made through a K-nearest neighbor classifier, based on Euclidean distance. Our experimental results on face images, which were obtained from the publicly available FG-NET face database, showed that the proposed descriptor worked satisfactorily for both face identification and verification across age progression.

In this paper, we propose a describes how to detect a false iris image by inserting watermark into a iris image. The existing method, which inserts the watermark into the entire iris image to detect a fake iris, has a problem that can evade it by segmenting iris region of an iris image. The purpose of overcoming the problem, this paper proposes a new fake iris detection technique based on digital watermark. It first searches a central point of an iris image, divide the image into blocks with respect to the point. executes Discrete Cosine Transform, inserts watermark into the blocks, and then verifies an iris image using NC(Normalized Correlation). In the experiments, we confirm the robustness for attacks - crop and JPEG.

A new fast algorithm for computing the discrete cosine transform(DCT) Is developed decomposing N-point DCT into an N /2-point DCT and two N /4 point transforms(transpose of an N /4-point DCT. TN/t'and)It has an important characteristic that in this method, the roundoff noise power for a fixed point arithmetic can be reduced significantly with respect to the wellknown fast algorithms of Lee and Chen. since most coefficients for multiplication are distributed at the nodes close to the output and far from the input in the signal flow graph In addition, it also shows three other versions of factorization of DCT matrix with the same number of operations but with the different distributions of multiplication coefficients.

This paper presents a method for accurate camera self-calibration based on SIFT Feature Detection and image quality assessment. We performed image quality assessment to select high quality images for the camera self-calibration process. We defined high quality images as those that contain little or no blur, and have maximum contrast among images captured within a short period. The image quality assessment includes blur detection and contrast assessment. Blur detection is based on the statistical analysis of energy and standard deviation of high frequency components of the images using Discrete Cosine Transform. Contrast assessment is based on contrast measurement and selection of the high contrast images among some images captured in a short period. Experimental results show little or no distortion in the perspective view of the images. Thus, the suggested method achieves camera self-calibration accuracy of approximately 93%.
