With the continuous development of cloud storage, plenty of redundant data exists in cloud storage, especially multimedia data such as images and videos. Data deduplication is a data reduction technology that significantly reduces storage requirements and increases bandwidth efficiency. To ensure data security, users typically encrypt data before uploading it. However, there is a contradiction between data encryption and deduplication. Existing deduplication methods for regular files cannot be applied to image deduplication because images need to be detected based on visual content. In this paper, we propose a secure image deduplication scheme based on hashing and clustering, which combines a novel perceptual hash algorithm based on Local Binary Pattern. In this scheme, the hash value of the image is used as the fingerprint to perform deduplication, and the image is transmitted in an encrypted form. Images are clustered to reduce the time complexity of deduplication. The proposed scheme can ensure the security of images and improve deduplication accuracy. The comparison with other image deduplication schemes demonstrates that our scheme has somewhat better performance.

In this paper, we propose chain code based decision technique of edge orientation. Edge Information is one of the most important information for handling image signals, and is applied to various civilian and military area, such as image surveillance for military reconnaissance, restoration of noised image signal, fingerprint recognition, and so on. The conventional methods to find edge orientations exploit a certain size of mask which weights for a certain direction, so they showed limitations in the case of diagonal edges except 45 degrees. We find edge orientations using chain code. According to the experiments, the proposed method shows better performance than the conventional approaches. The exact edge orientations including diagonal directions are well found.

Recently, many researchers have been interested in biometric systems such as fingerprint, handwriting, key-stroke patterns and human iris. From the viewpoint of reliability and robustness, iris recognition is the most attractive biometric system. Moreover, the iris recognition system is a comfortable biometric system, since the video image of an eye can be taken at a distance. In this paper, we discuss human iris recognition, which is based on accurate iris localization, robust feature extraction, and Neural Network classification. The iris region is accurately localized in the eye image using a multiresolution active snake model. For the feature representation, the localized iris image is decomposed using wavelet transform based on dyadic Haar wavelet. Experimental results show the usefulness of wavelet transform in comparison to conventional Gabor transform. In addition, we present a new method for setting initial weight vectors in competitive learning. The proposed initialization method yields better accuracy than the conventional method.

In this paper, an effective digital watermarking method for copyright protection of binary image data is proposed. First a binary image is grouped into feature regions which has geometrical features and general one. The watermark for authentication is embedded in general regions in order to preserve geometrical features regions. We have used run-length code and special runs for grouping feature regions and general one. For invisibility of watermark, we have embedded the watermark considering transition sensitivity of each pixel in general regions. The proposed method is applied some binary image such as character, signature, seal, and fingerprint image to evaluate performance. By the experimental results, the proposed method preserve feature regions of original image and have higher invisibility of watermarks.

사용자 인증에 관한 연구 중 지문인식에 대한 연구는 매우 진보적인 발전을 거듭해왔다. 지문인식 장치의 보급으로 지문영상을 입력받기 위한 센서의 소형화와 저가화가 요구되어짐에 따라 Area-Sensor를 대신하여 Line-Sensor에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 하지만 잡음에 민감한 Line-Sensor의 특성과 비효율적인 스캔방법으로 인하여 양질의 지문영상을획득하기에 어려움이 있다. 기존의 지문인식 알고리즘의 지문영상개선 방법으로는 인식과정 중 오류를 일으키는 확률이 높아 Line-Sensor에서 획득한 지문영상의 개선에 관한 알고리즘을 제안한다.

정보 보안의 기수로 떠오른 지문인식 분야는 크게 분류와 인증 단계로 나뉜다. 본 논문은 지문의 분류에 대한 연구결과로, 효율적인 지문 분류를 위해 방향성 이미지로부터 일정 영역내 방향각의 분포도에 대한 분산을 이용한 새로운 지문 분류 알고리즘을 제안한다. 또한 구해진 분산을 토대로 특이점(코아. 델타) 가능 영역을 선정하고 선정된 영역에 대해 의사 특이점을 제거후 지문을 분류하고 마지막으로 실험을 통해 제안된 알고리즘을 검증하고 문제점을 검토해 본다.

일반적인 히스토그램 기법은 용선과 골로 이뤄진 지문 영상을 개선하는 효과가 미미하다. 히스토그램 스트레칭 기법은 명암 분포를 확장하여 전체 영상의 명암을 확장시키며, 히스토그램 스트레칭은 국소적인 명암 개선 효과에 탁월하므로 지문 영상 개선에 적합하지 않다. 따라서, 이 논문에서는 지문 영상을 개선하기 위해 평균과 표준 편차를 이용한 방법을 제안한다.
