Focusing on the issue that the Signal-to-Clutter-and-Noise Ratio (SCNR) of echo signal is low when cognitive radar detects extended target, a waveform design method based on SCNR was proposed. Firstly, the relation between the SCNR of cognitive radar echo signal and the Energy Spectral Density (ESD) of transmitted signal, was gotten by establishing extended target detection model other than previous point target model; secondly, according to the maximum SCNR criterion, the global optimal solution of the transmitted signal ESD was deduced; finally, in order to get a meaningful time-domain signal, ESD was synthesized to be a constant amplitude based on phase-modulation after combining with the Minimum Mean-Square Error (MMSE) and iterative algorithm, which met the emission requirements of radar. In the simulation, the amplitude of time-domain synthesized signal is uniform, and its SCNR at the output of the matched filter is 19.133 dB, only 0.005 dB less than the ideal value. The results show that not only can the time-domain waveform meet the requirement of constant amplitude, but also the SCNR obtained at receiver output can achieve the best approximation to the ideal value, and it improves the performance of the extended target detection.
In the existing reversible watermarking algorithm based on mean-adjustable integer transform, there are following defects such as non-adaptive threshold selecting, incomplete location map building strategy which may lead to poor compression performance and compulsive partition strategy for embedded vectors which may lead to a failure embedding even if embedding capacity is enough. To address these problems, an iterative adaptive reversible image watermarking algorithm combined with mean-adjustable integer transform was proposed. Firstly, according to Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) affected by the payload data size and integer vector, an iterative adaptive algorithm was used in selecting mean-adjustable offsets to balance the watermarking embedding capacity and the visual quality of embedded carrier; Secondly, based on the strategy that adjacent pixels have similar pixel values, a complete location map generating strategy was proposed to improve location map compression performance; Finally, to avoid failure embedding, the proposed reversible watermarking algorithm adopted hierarchical order embedding strategy to embed payload data in order from the first least significant bits to the third least significant bits. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has a big embedding capacity and does not need to preset threshold. Location map building strategy has a better performance in making location map data in smaller size and increasing the capacity indirectly compared with the reversible watermarking algorithm based on mean-adjustable integer transform, and the PSNR increases by 14.4% averagely in experimental sample.
In conventional permutation and confusion based image encryption algorithm, there usually exists some problems such as inefficient permutation and difficult to resist known or chosen plaintext attack. To solve these problems, an image encryption algorithm based on maze permutation and Logistic mapping was proposed, where Depth First Search (DFS) maze permutation was used to product permutation efficiently. In order to resist known or chosen plaintext attack, the plaintext image Message Digest Algorithm 5 (MD5) digest was bound with the user key to generate maze starting coordinates, Logistic chaotic map parameters and initial values which drive Logistic maps to generate random numbers. These random numbers were used to determine maze node probing directions and participate in image confusion to make all encryption stages tight coupled with the plaintext image. Experiments show the proposed algorithm has better performance in encryption quality and it can resist known or chosen plaintext attack with high security.
