Abstract Digital image steganography technique based on hiding the secret data behind of cover image in such a way that it is not detected by the human visual system. This paper presents an image scrambling method that is very useful for grayscale secret images. In this method, the secret image decomposes in three parts based on the pixel's threshold value. The division of the color image into three parts is very easy based on the color channel but in the grayscale image, it is difficult to implement. The proposed image scrambling method is implemented in image steganography using discrete wavelet transform… More >

Abstract To solve the problem that the digital image recognition accuracy of concrete structure cracks is not high under the condition of uneven illumination and complex surface color of concrete structure, this paper has proposed a block segmentation method of maximum entropy threshold based on the digital image data obtained by the ACTIS automatic detection system. The steps in this research are as follows: 1. The crack digital images of concrete specimens with typical features were collected by using the Actis system of KURABO Co., Ltd., of Japan in the concrete beam bending test. 2. The images are segmented into blocks… More >
