In this paper, a problem of geometrically distorted images is considered. In particular, the paper discusses the detection of a watermark from a photographed image of the watermarked picture. The image is possibly obtained by using a digital camera. This watermark detection problem is made difficult by various geometric distortions added to the original picture through the printing and photographing processes. In particular, the paper focuses on the geometric distortion due to a projective transformation, as part of a camera 3D-to-2D imaging process. It is well-known that a cross ratio of collinear points is invariant under a perspective projection. By exploiting this fact, a projective-invariant digital watermarking technique is developed. By detecting the picture's corners, and the image center point at the intersection of two main diagonal lines, predefined cross ratios are used to compute the watermark embedded locations. From those identified embedding pixel locations, a watermark can be detected by performing a correlation between a watermark pattern and the image over those pixels. The proposed method does not require an inverse transformation on the distorted image, thus simplifying the detection process. Performance of the proposed method has been analyzed through computer experiments

Thermally Activated Building System(TABS) is a radiant heating and cooling system which uses structures as thermal storage by embedding pipes in a concrete slab. Using TABS as the cooling system in residential buildings can reduce energy consumption and peak loads. But the ratio of cooling loads handled by TABS is low in the residential buildings which are significantly influenced by outside condition because condensation and over-cooling may occur. However, recent interest on energy-saving buildings is increasing and new residential buildings are expected to be less influenced by outside with high-insulation and shading. In such residential buildings, the heating and cooling loads and the range of load changes reduce. So the ratio of loads handled by TABS can increase. Therefore, this research investigates the cooling performance and energy performance of TABS in the residential buildings with less influence from outside using the simulation.

Membrane penetration is the most important factor influencing the measurement of volume change for triaxial consolidated-drained shear test for coarse-grained soil. The effective pressure p, average particle size $d_{50}$, thickness $t_m$ and elastic modulus $E_m$ of membrane, contact area between membrane and soil $A_m$ as well as the initial void ratio e are the major factors influencing membrane penetration. According to the membrane deformation model given by Kramer and Sivaneswaran, an analytical solution of the membrane penetration considering the initial void ratio is deduced using the energy conservation law. The basic equations from theory of plates and shells and the elastic mechanics are employed during the derivation. To verify the presented solution, isotropic consolidation tests of a coarse-grained soil are performed by using the method of embedding different diameter of iron rods in the triaxial samples, and volume changes due to membrane penetration are obtained. The predictions from presented solution and previous analytical solutions are compared with the test results. It is found that the prediction from presented analytical solution agrees well with the test results.

This paper presented an investigation into steel tubes encased high-strength concrete (STHC) composite walls, wherein steel tubes were embedded at the boundary elements of high-strength concrete walls. A series of cyclic loading tests was conducted to evaluate the failure pattern, hysteresis characteristics, load-bearing capacity, deformability, and strain distribution of STHC composite walls. The test results demonstrated that the bearing capacity and ductility of the STHC composite walls improved with the embedding of steel tubes at the boundary elements. An analytical method was then established to predict the flexural bearing capacity of the STHC composite walls, and the calculated results agreed well with the experimental values, with errors of less than 10%. Finally, a finite element modeling (FEM) was developed via the OpenSees program to analyze the mechanical performance of the STHC composite wall. The FEM was validated through test results; additionally, the influences of the axial load ratio, steel tube strength, and shear-span ratio on the mechanical properties of STHC composite walls were comprehensively investigated.

본 논문에서 제안되는 워터마크(Watermark) 삽입 알고리즘은 웨이블릿 변환 영역에서 구성되는 부대역간의 트리구조(Tree structure)와 공간 영역에서의 윤곽선 정보를 이용하여 워터마크를 삽입할 영역을 결정하고 삽입한다. 먼저 생성되는 고주파 성분의 부대역으로부터 저주파 부대역으로 중요 주파수 영역을 예측하게 되는데 웨이블릿 변환영역에서 구성된 트리구조에서 높은 주파수를 가지는 LHI 부대역을 4${\times}$4의 부행렬(Submatrix)로 나누고 행렬에 대한 평균과 이들에 의해 구성되는 블록 행렬(Block matrix)로부터 전체 평균 및 워터마크 삽입에 이용될 임계값을 얻는다. 또한 주파수 영역에서 구해진 에너지 특성에 대한 블록 행렬과 공간 영역에서 얻어진 영상의 윤곽선 정보에 의해 워터마크가 삽입될 위치인 키맵(Keymap)이 구해진다. 구해진 키맵에 따라서 LFSR(Linear feedback shift register)을 이용하여 발생된 무작위 순열(Random sequence)를 웨이블릿 도메인에서 이웃 웨이블릿 계수간의 관계를 이용하여 삽입한다. 최종적으로 역 웨이블릿 변환을 취함으로써 워터마크가 삽입된 영상을 생성한다. 제안된 워터마킹 알고리즘은 JPEG과 같은 압축과 Blurring, Sharpening, 그리고 가우시안(Gaussian) 잡음 등의 공격에 대해서도 기존의 방식에 비해 약 2㏈ 절도 높은 PSNR(Peak signal to noise ratio)를 보이면서 2%에서 8% 정도 높은 NR(Normalized correlation)를 가져서 좋은 특성을 나타냈다.

In Shamir's (t,n)-threshold based secret image sharing schemes, there exists a problem that the secret image can be reconstructed when an arbitrary attacker becomes aware of t secret image pieces, or t participants are malicious collusion. It is because that utilizes linear combination polynomial arithmetic operation. In order to overcome the problem, we propose a secret image sharing scheme using matrix decomposition and adversary structure. In the proposed scheme, there is no reconstruction of the secret image even when an arbitrary attacker become aware of t secret image pieces. Also, we utilize a simple matrix decomposition operation in order to improve the security of the secret image. In experiments, we show that performances of embedding capacity and image distortion ratio of the proposed scheme are superior to previous schemes.

We propose a now watermarking scheme that can be used to embed multiple bits and also resilient to geometrical transforms such as scaling, rotation, and cropping, based on off - axis holographic watermark that allows multiple watermark recovery without original content(cover image). The holographic watermark is that Fourier transformed digital hologram is embedded into cover image in the spatial domain. The proposed method has not only increased robustness with a stronger embedding but also imprescriptibility of the watermark in the evaluation process. To compare with the convention기 scheme, the spread spectrum, we embedded and recovered maximum 1,024 bits that consist of binary number over PSNR(peak signal-to-noise ratio) 39dB. And also, we computed robustness with BER(bit error rate) corresponding the above attack

The major threat of geometric manipulations is that they change the positions of watermarks, therefore the detection process fails to extract watermark properly. Since they cause the same effects on the host image as watermarks simultaneously, evaluating the distorted host image can be helpful to measure the nature of distortions. In this paper, we propose a geometrical distortion-resilient watermarking algorithm based on this property. Firstly we evaluate the orientation of a host image by filtering it with directional Gabor kernels, then we insert embedding pattern aligned to the estimated orientation. In its detection step, we evaluate the orientation again by Gabor filtering, then simply project and average the projected value to obtain a 1-D projection average pattern. Finally, auto-correlation function of the 1-D projection average pattern identifies periodic peaks. Analysed are experimental results against geometrical attacks including aspect ratio changes.

In this study, a new model to predict the effective elastic constants of composites with spherical fillers is proposed. The original Eshelby model is extended to a finite filler volume fraction without using Mori-Tanaka's mean field approach. When single filler is embedded in the matrix, the effective elastic constants of the composite are computed. The composite is in turn considered as a new matrix, where new single filler is again embedded in the matrix. The predicted results by the present model with a series of embedding procedures are compared with those by Mori-Tanaka, self-consistent, and generalized self-consistent models. It is revealed through parametric studies such as stiffness ratio of the filler to the matrix and filler volume fraction that the present model gives more accurate predictions than Mori-Tanaka model without using the complicated numerical scheme used in self-consistent and generalized self-consistent models.
