Recently, Internet is getting more popular and the usage of multimedia contents is getting more increased. Among the multimedia contents, the JPEG format is the most commonly used Image data format but the JPEG format doesn't supply cryptographic methods and access control. In this paper, a cryptographic method for cipher JPEG Image is proposed. This method can supply encryption and decryption using several algorithms such as DES to the JPEG Image data. Huffman table, which is the most important data area for JPEG data coding, is chosen as the coding data. Each method is compared to select the optimal cryptographic method in a certain environment.

This study was conducted to evaluate recipients' perception of service quality, satisfaction, and behavioral intention in home delivered meals program in the US. Out of 398 questionnaires, 265 (66.6%) were collected, and 209 questionnaires (52.5%) were used for the statistical analysis. A Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) with a maximum likelihood was first conducted to estimate the measurement model by verifying the underlying structure of constructs. The level of internal consistency in each construct was acceptable, with Cronbach's alpha estimates ranging from 0.7 to 0.94. All of the composite reliabilities of the constructs were over the cutoff value of 0.50, ensuring adequate internal consistency of multiple items for each construct. As a second step, a Meals-On-Wheels (MOW) recipient perception model was estimated. The model's fit as indicated by these indexes was satisfactory and path coefficients were analyzed. Two paths between (1) volunteer issues and behavioral intention and (2) responsiveness and behavioral intention were not significant. The path for predicting a positive relationship between food quality and satisfaction was supported. The results show that having high food quality may create recipient satisfaction. The findings suggest that food quality and responsiveness are significant predictors of positive satisfaction. Moreover, satisfied recipients have positive behavioral intention toward MOW programs.

This paper introduces a new preprocessing scheme to replace original data of gray scale images with particular ordered data so that performance of lossless compression can be improved more efficiently. As a kind of preprocessing technique to maximize performance of entropy encoder, the proposed method converts the input image data into more compressible form. Before encoding a stream of the input image, the proposed preprocessor counts co-occurrence frequencies for neighboring pixel pairs. Then, it replaces each pair of adjacent gray values with particular ordered numbers based on the investigated co-occurrence frequencies. When compressing ordered image using entropy encoder, we can expect to raise compression rate more highly because of enhanced statistical feature of the input image. In this paper, we show that lossless compression rate increased by up to 37.85% when comparing results from compressing preprocessed and non-preprocessed image data using entropy encoder such as Huffman, Arithmetic encoder.

Due to rapid progress in data communications, we are able to acquire the information we need with ease. One means of achieving this is a parallel machine such as the MasPar. Although the parallel machine makes it possible to receive/transmit enormous quantities of data, because of the increasing volume of information that must be processed, it is necessary to transmit only a minimal amount of data bits. This paper suggests a new coding method for the parallel machine, which compresses the data by reducing redundancy. Parallel Dynamic Octal Compact Mapping (PDOCM) compresses at least 1 byte per word, compared with other coding techniques, and achieves a 54.188-fold speedup with 64 processors to transmit 10 million characters.

From the perspective of reducing the sampling cost of color images at high resolution, block-based compressive sensing (CS) has attracted considerable attention as a promising alternative to conventional Nyquist/Shannon sampling. On the other hand, for storing/transmitting applications, CS requires a very efficient way of representing the measurement data in terms of data volume. This paper addresses this problem by developing a measurement-coding method with the proposed customized Huffman coding. In addition, by noting the difference in visual importance between the luma and chroma channels, this paper proposes measurement coding in YCbCr space rather than in conventional RGB color space for better rate allocation. Furthermore, as the proper use of the image property in pursuing smoothness improves the CS recovery, this paper proposes the integration of a low pass filter to the CS recovery of color images, which is the block-based ${\ell}_{20}$-norm minimization. The proposed coding scheme shows considerable gain compared to conventional measurement coding.

In this paper, we propose a compressed quantized channel state information (CQCSI) feedback scheme for multi-carrier mobile communication systems. The proposed CQCSI figures out the contiguous subsequences of equal QCSI's as separate types of runs across the subcarriers, and then encodes the types of runs using a truncated Huffman coding algorithm. Computer simulation shows that the proposed algorithm can reduce the QCSI feedback up to one tenth of the uncompressed, while providing a comparable performance with the conventional QCSI feedback schemes. To cope with special cases when the frequency selective fading is very high, we also propose a restricted CQCSI feedback scheme. The restricted CQCSI feedback has been proved under vehicular B channel model.

With the increasing use of multimedia technologies, image compression requires higher performance as well as new functionality in the informationized society. Specially, in the specific area of still image encoding in embedded system, a new standard, JPEG2000 that improve various problem of JPEG was developed. This paper proposed a method that reduce quantity of data delivered in EBCOT(Embedded Block Coding with Optimized Truncation) process using SPIHT(Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees) Algorithm to optimize selection of threshold from feature of wavelet transform coefficients and to remove sign bit in LL area for the increment of compression efficiency on JPEG2000. The experimental results showed the proposed algorithm achieves more improved bit rate in embedded system.

In this paper, we present an image compression algorithm that is capable of significantly reducing the vast mount of information contained in multispectral images. The developed algorithm exploits the spectral and spatial correlations found in multispectral images. The scheme encodes the difference between images after contrast/brightness equalization to remove the spectral redundancy, and utilizes a two-dimensional wavelet trans-form to remove the spatial redundancy. The transformed images are than encoded by hilbert-curve scanning and run-length-encoding, followed by huffman coding. We also present the performance of the proposed algorithm with KITSAT-1 image as well as the LANDSAT MultiSpectral Scanner data. The loss of information is evaluated by peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and classification capability.

This paper aims to extract characteristics of the spectrum of fingerprint image and to apply them to image enhancement techniques in spatial frequency domain. Based on 1$\times$64 window as a processing unit and the different record lengths(32, 16, 8), the estimate of power spectrum density for each length was made. Each acquired spectrum characteristics was applied to the re-synthesis process of the fingerprint image, an improved gray scale image was obtained. In order to select an optimal predictor and the Huffman table for the fingerprint iamge, the lossless JPEG algorithm was used. Experiments were performed for extracting distribution characteristics for the each of 7 predictors from the fingerprint image and modeling processes, and the result was applied to the data compression algorithm and the selection of the optimal predictor.
