    Most traditional embedded system security detection methods cannot meet all of the requirements of fast detection, independent detection and without interference to application program. Thus, the authors have developed a method of unexpected behaviors detection for embedded system to meet those requirements. The proposed detection system is independent and operates parallel to an embedded processor. And, the logic of the proposed detection is to compare the instruction stream from embedded processor with the instruction expected by source binary, thus detecting any unexpected behaviors caused by deviating from its original program. Moreover, the detection logic presents common suitability of adapting different repertoires. Then experimental results show that this method has the ability of detecting minimum granularity unexpected behavior by checking out random bit flips, and with average detection latency of 6 cycles if taking no account of the instructions for interrupt-site protection.

    This paper presented a new self-adaptive image encryption algorithm so as to improve its robustness. Under this algorithm, a gray image or color image was divided into 2×2 size blocks. A corresponding size of matrix in the top right corner was created by the pixel gray-scale value of the top left corner under Chebyshev mapping. The gray-scale value of the top right corner block was then replaced by the matrix created before. The remaining blocks were encrypted in the same manner in clockwise until the top left corner block was finally encrypted. This algorithm is not restricted to the size of image and it is suitable to gray images and color images, which leads to better robustness. Meanwhile, the introduction of gray-scale value diffusion system equips this algorithm with powerful function of diffusion and disturbance.

The application of statistical method guaranteed the sightlessness and the robustness of the digital watermark information. The experimental results demonstrate that the watermark is robust against cut attack, salt-pepper noise attack, Least Significant Bit (LSB) attack, winner attack, and so on.

    For the problem of integrity authentication about compressed video streams, this paper proposed a video watermarking algorithm based on Compressive Sensing (CS). The H.264 compressed video stream was taken as the research object. By conducting random projection on the I frames of video sequences, a slight amount of measurements were obtained. Through quantization and replacement encryption, the measurements were embedded into the macro block which had the maximum amplitude in the motion vector in P frame. While authenticating, the watermark was extracted from the P frame that contains watermarked video sequences, and the similarly random CS projection on the I frames was conducted. By comparing the difference between the measurements, the integrity of video could be authenticated. The simulation results show that the intended video watermarking algorithm ensures high video quality, and little effect on the encoding rate, and it has strong robustness against attacks such as frame deletion and frame insertion.

    Networks coding is highly susceptible to pollution attacks,but such attacks cannot be prevented by the standard technology of signature. Based on the vector hash which is secure if the discrete logarithm problem is infeasible,an efficient signature scheme for securing two-source networks coding against pollution attacks was proposed. In this scheme, each source node signed the files with its own private key, the intermediate nodes, with the merge algorithm, produced linear combinations of vectors from different files. The intermediate nodes could verify the received signature solely by the public key. The security of signature scheme relies on the hardness of the Co-Deffie-Hellman problem. Under the random oracle model, the new scheme is proved to be secure against the source nodes and intermediate nodes attacks.

    Web service greatly facilitates the application-to-application integration based on heterogeneous platform, but its core components are faced with threats of malicious attacks. Currently, the Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is usually used to prevent these attacks. However, the IDSs distributed throughout the network may be developed by different vendors and there is not a common vocabulary understandable among them. Therefore, the IDSs stopped people from cooperatively preventing the multi-phased and distributed attacks easily. In this paper, a new method based on ontology and OWL to classify and describe the Web services attack was presented. Through constructing a Web services attack ontology, the common understandable vocabulary could be provided for different IDSs. Then, an intrusion detection system based on the Web Service Attack ontology (called O-IDS) was presented as well, which could efficiently overcome the shortage of the existed IDS and enhance the ability to detect the multi-phased and distributed attacks.

The main objective was to solve the problem of traditional stream ciphers insensitivity to the change of plain text. By using a hyper chaotic system of 6-D CNN as the key source, selecting the secret key based on the results of logical operations of pixel values in the plain image, and introducing simultaneously both position permutation and value transformation, the new algorithm was presented. It is shown that both NPCR value and the sensitivity to key (>0.996) can meet the security requirements of image encryption. The simulation process also indicates that the algorithm is relatively easy to realize with low computation complexity, and ensures, accordingly, the secure transmission of digital images.

    Nowadays, many centificateless signature schemes depend on the honesty of Key Generation Center (KGC) excessively, so they also lose security guarantees when the KGC is dishonest. By analyzing the security of the certificateless signature scheme proposed by Liang Hongmei et. al. in security analysis and improvement of efficient certificateless signature scheme publicated by Journal fo Computer Applications, 2010,30(3):685-687, where the authors pointed out that the scheme could not resist public key replacement attack under negative dishonest KGC and positive dishonest KGCs attacks. Aiming at these problems, the scheme was improved by the means that KGC generated the users public key and made it public. The analysis of security shows that the improved scheme is able to resist public key replacement attack under negative dishonest KGC, thus successfully distinguishing the positive dishonesty of KGC,and resisting existential forgery on adaptively chosen message attack under the random oracle model.

    To solve the problems of the ringing, blocking artifacts and the excessive noise amplification in local image enhancement, an object-based multilevel contrast stretching method was proposed. First, segment the image into its constitent objects by using morphological watersheds and regional merging; then, separately stretch the image contrast at inter-object level and intra-object level in different ways. At inter-object level, an approach of stretching between adjacent extrema was adopted to adequately enlarge the local dynamic range of gray levels between objects; at intra-object level, the linear stretching approach was adopted to enhance the textural feature of the object and keep its appearance. Experimental results show, besides enhancing the image structure, the proposed method can effectively avoid ringing, blocking artifacts, restrict excessive noise amplification in smooth areas and preserve the overall brightness of the image, thus can provide the enhanced image with natural appearance.

    Suspect fingerprint images acquired from criminal scenes are often of low quality, or incomplete. The existing algorithms/methods found in literature are not suitable for enhancing these fingerprint images, because these algorithms/methods only perform enhancement once. In this paper, a new method for fingerprint image enhancement was proposed. The proposed method enhanced fingerprint image in Fourier domain and spatial domain by using iterative and wavelet fusion technique. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method significantly improves the performance of fingerprint enhancement — not only was the ridge definition enhanced, but also the ridge fracture was connected and the incompleteness was mended. Therefore, the proposed method is suitable for enhancing low quality fingerprint images.

    The H.264 communication over network may cause a whole frame loss. To solve the problem, an error-concealment algorithm based on residual distribution was proposed for whole frame packet loss in H.264. Firstly, the residual information of reference frame was analyzed. Then, according to the result, the motion vector copy algorithm was used in the region where the image was smooth or the image object's motion was rigid. For the other regions, the motion vector of each pixel was re-estimated, and then optical flow algorithm was introduced. Experimental results show that the algorithm outperforms the traditional one on both visual quality and Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR).

    In older to solve the problem of the deviation accumulation caused by the restoring process of exemplar-based image inpainting algorithm, and to improve the accuracy of the algorithm, this paper focused on the revision of the priority computation formula, by leading an α factor to enhance the proportion of data. Therefore, the algorithm is more sensitive to the detail of image texture during the inpainting procedure. The average energy of texture feature was quantified by the wavelet coefficients. Thus the α factor was made to be self-adaptive so that the images with different energy could be inpainted adaptively through appropriate strategies. It is proved that the image quality can be enhanced effectively by this improved exemplar-based image inpainting algorithm, and the optical connectivity requirements of human beings can be satisfied by the inpainted effects.

    Image interpolation is an important method to magnify images with low resolution to adapt to the target screens. To preserve the geometry feature of the original image is an effective way to improve the quality of magnified images. This paper proposed a new method to interpolate images based on Doo Sabin subdivision. The method adopted the essential idea of subdividing the quadrilateral mesh to enhance the sampling images of low resolution. Firstly, part of the data of high resolution images was obtained by mapping low resolution images. Secondly we classified the unknown pixels of high resolution images according to their geometric features. Then we interpolated all the unknown pixels by the assigned pixels. Values of the unknown pixels were the weighted average of their neighboring pixels. The weighted strategy was deduced by Doo Sabin subdivision. Experiments show that our method can preserve the sharp feature of image edges, decrease zigzags and achieve better results than the previous methods.

    In order to eliminate the phenomenon of contour jaggies in conventional image interpolation schemes, an edge-degree-based image interpolation method was proposed. Under the smooth contours assumption, the method considered the smoothly varying characteristics of nature image contours, and utilized the information of edge degree to suppress contour jaggies. Simulation results show that the proposed method produces fewer jaggies, and it doesn't introduce other obvious artifacts. Furthermore, the method still preserves the simplicity and efficiency of conventional image interpolation methods, and is easy for implementation and application.

    Low operation speed and being only fit for high quality images are the disadvantages of incomplete tree-structured wavelet. To deal with this problem, a new algorithm was proposed. Firstly, pre-processment using tophat-bothat was done to clear noise and to enhance contrast degrees; then the feature consistency was extracted. If its value was high, only one part of the image would be used in incomplete tree-structured wavelet. Otherwise, the whole image would be used. Lastly, Double Probabilistic Neural Network (DPNN) ws adopted here to identify images. Brodatz database was used for simulation, and the algae images pictured at scene was used as an application of this method. Result shows that this algorithm is fast in feature extraction and identification, with especially good performance at low quality images.

    In order to improve the performance of the image features correspondence that solely depends on similarity, a correspondence algorithm is proposed, which used the geometric constraint efficiently by the voting method. First of all, a fast coarse matching by the descriptor of the features was performed to get the candidate correspondence, then a robust geometric constraint was used to compute a new similarity of the candidate correspondence by the voting method. Finally, a self-adaptive method for distinguishing the belief of the candidate correspondence was proposed to get the correspondence of image features. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that our method is effective and robust for a variety of image transforms. Better result can be got by the correspondence algorithm based on voting of geometric constraint than that based on similarity simply.

    In the multi-focus image fusion algorithm based on wavelet transform, the quality of fused images is usually reduced due to the discrepancy between the adjacent pixels. According to the transform domain of the fusion rule, the eigenvalues of region energy were extracted by using the coefficients of the wavelet transform, and the global match degree was regarded as a way to determine the fusion rules. A new fusion algorithm based on region energy framework was proposed. To improve the quality of fused images, the consistency of the source of each wavelet component was detected. Finally, the algorithm was simulated in experiments. The results verify that this algorithm has better fusion effects than those based on weighted average, selecting the largest gray value and region energy.

First, the facial expression features were extracted by ICA, and then the radius of Locally Constrained Support Vector Clustering (LCSVC) could be acquired according to the adjustment of inter-parameter Mixture of Factor Analysis (MFA) method. This clustering method effectively restrained the disturber of the clustering boundary region and also was better than the one that only uses SVC. The test sample is classified by a comparison with the difference between new and old radius, and the experimental results show that the proposed method is effective and successful.

    To more effectively extract localized features of images, on the basis of the traditional Non-negative Sparse Coding (Hoyer NNSC) algorithm, a novel localized NNSC (LNNSC) algorithm with sparse constraint was proposed. This algorithm considered the sparse measure constraint of feature basis vectors and the maximized representativeness of features, and could obtain the strengthened localized image features. At the same time, this algorithm utilized the Laplace density model as the feature coefficients sparse punitive function to ensure an image's sparse structure. Furthermore, on the basis of feature extraction, by utilizing the Radial Basis Probabilistic Neural Networks (RBPNN), the palmprint recognition task could be implemented automatically. Compared with the palmprint recognition methods of Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF), Local NMF (LNMF) and Hoyer-NNSC, simulation results show that our method proposed here displays feasibility and practicality in palmprint recognition.

    With regard to the two main factors that cause the difficulty of human-detection under the dim contrast environment, a concept of the local gray entropy was introduced, and then an algorithm of human target detection based on local gray entropy was proposed for the reason that the local gray entropy could reflect the discrete level accurately, and it was independent on the average gray. After the background model was established, the local gray entropy difference between the moving objects and background model inside the domain windows was calculated by using calculation formula of local gray entropy simplified through Taylor expansion. And the ratio of detection and the ratio of false-alarm of the algorithm were evaluated. The optimal thresholds on the differential of the local gray entropy which could get the human body under the two conditions of low contrast were obtained. The experimental results show that the algorithm of human target detection based on the trait of the local gray entropy can obtain the moving human targets effectively under the dim contrast environment.

    With regard to the features of the big skin exposure in the adult images, we propose a hybrid detection approach which is composed of such three parts as color filtering, texture filtering and geometry filtering. A subsection processing skin color model was used to filter the non-skin color pixels and get the candidate skin regions. Then a coarse-degree-based texture filtering was used to filter the pixels with rough texture and skin color tone. At last we filtered the skin-like region (such as deserts or beaches) by fractal dimensions. The experimental results indicate this approach has high detection ratio and high precision.

    Center extraction is a primary stage in the extraction of Placido image. Therefore, a curve fitting method is proposed to detect the center. Firstly, Hough transform was used to locate the approximate center, and Placido image was located in the polar coordinate. Then the Gaussian kernel function was convolved with the image, and the points were detected in the polaraxis. Finally, based on the coordinates of these points, the accurate center was obtained by the ellipse fitting method. The precision can be brought to the order of sub-pixels by this algorithm and the mean error of diopter is less than 0.25D. Extracting results show that proposed method has higher accuracy and better robustness and provides guarantee on the precise corneal topography.

    Skew document images often appears when it is captured by image acquisition devices such as cameras or scanners, which may induce recognition mistakes by Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software. The paper proposed an optimized method for the skew detection of document images, and its objective function is the image projection grating slit width. The document image angle is the inverse of the projection angle, when the corresponding projection grating slit width is the largest. The detection range is expanded and the detection speed is increased by the grating line width function. The amount of calculation in detection is decreased by preliminary projection on equispaced rows and back projection. The detection precision is improved by dichotomy. In the experiments document images where a few illustrations were used, and the skew detection results show the proposed method is of high efficiency and robustness.

    Qualitative Probabilistic Network (QPN) is a powerful knowledge representation tool. However, sub-QPN can only represent sub-domain knowledge. To build a large QPN to represent the whole domain knowledge, an integration method of multiple sub-QPNs that have different nodes was proposed based on rough sets. Specifically, a single variable or a combination of multiple variables in a QPN could be regarded as an attribute in rough sets. First, multiple sub-QPNs were combined into an initial integrated QPN during integrating, then the directed edges and qualitative signs were added into the QPN according to attribute dependency degree, and then some unnecessary edges of which child node had multiple parent nodes could be deleted according to relative necessity of attribute. Thus, a large integrated QPN would be obtained to represent the whole domain knowledge. Finally, the experimental results illustrate that the integration method is feasible and effective.

It has a clear structure with clear semantic meaning. It can provide effective supports for some applications such as semantic Web and information extraction. This paper introduced the concept of ontology, the standard of design, the process of modeling, and future prospects of ontology portability. This method was proved to be more effective than traditional ontology construction method in uncertain knowledge processing by experimental results.

    As for the disadvantages of available user interests modeling methods in social tagging systems: always use a set of scattered tags to represent users' interests but ignore the combination use of tags, a new user modeling method was proposed, which introduced co-occurrence techniques into the naive approach. The proposed method added some tag pairs on the basis of naive approach to user model, which reflects tags relationship and considers tags weight. The experimental results on dataset PKDD2009 show that the new model can achieve a higher precision and recall rate, which outperforms the nave method and co-occurrence method.

    Compared to verbal predicates,the structure between nominal predicates and their roles in Semantic Role Labeling (SRL) is more flexible and complex. In this paper, some new word-related and syntactic features were explored from various nominal predicate-specific features to capture the structure information for nominal SRL. The experimental results show that the proposed nominal SRL system achieved the performance of 73.99 in F1-measure on gold parse trees and gold predicates, and outperformed the state-of-the-art nominal SRL. However, the performance dropped to 57.16 in F1-measure on automatic parse trees and automatic predicates. Finally, the training data were augmented with verbal SRL instances to examine whether nominal SRL could benefit from verbal instances. The experimental result show, however, adding verbal SRL instances does indeed improve the performance of nominal SRL, although the improvement is not statistically significant.

    Due to the limitation of the fixed mathematical structure, it can not fit all the data; as a result, some experimental results may be discarded in constructing fertilization model, which results in a waste of some data. To solve these problems, the algorithm of fertilization construction model based on co-evolution theory was proposed. The algorithm divided the whole construction model problem into two sub-problems: model structure construction and model parameter optimization. In addition, the two sub-problems were abstracted as co-evolution among various groups. The processes of using genetic programming to construct the model structure and genetic algorithm to optimize the model parameters were carried out in collaboration. The results show that the algorithm not only generates the dynamic model automatically based on the historical experimental data but also has higher accuracy.

    In image based robot visual servo system, image Jacobian matrix is commonly used for calibration. Using on-line image Jacobian matrix estimation method, the complex system calibration can be avoided without knowing the accurate system models. In this paper, the author proposed to use the Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) for on-line estimation of total Jacobian matrix for the sake of improving the tracking accuracy of the robots which is tracking a moving object. In order to evaluate the performance, three algorithms using Kalman Filter (KF), Particle Filter (PF), and UKF were used for total Jocobian matrix estimation in a 2-Degree Of Freedom (DOF) robot visual servo platform. The experimental results show that the UKF algorithm outperforms the other two in accuracy while its time cost is very much close to the KF algorithm.

    The shape of a tree is mostly determined by the reality to the nature layout of branches. In order to simulate a 3D tree branch to mimic the natural tree shape, using the theory of fractal algorithm and mechanics of material, a simulating method for the 3D's bending branch and fractal root based on the gravity field was proposed. The stress state of the branch was reflected by its bending degree. Bending degree could be controlled by changing the value of Young's modulus. Also, with X3D and Java, fractal algorithm combined with Extrusion node of X3D was used to simulate the geotropism of the bending root. A realistic 3D tree can be easily created with some input data using our simulation. By using the close relationship of the tree's underground part and upper part, a simulation method of gravity's effect on the tree shape was established. The experimental results show that the method can easily generate realistic three-dimensional form of fractal trees.

    In order to save the resources of the Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter and increase the running speed, it was proposed to use the Least Mean-Square-Error (LMSE) to transfer the float point coefficients filter to the Canonical Signed Digit (CSD) filter. The FIR filter was implemented by the cascades structure, which conjugated pairs of zeros into two basic sections. First, all zeros of the digital filter were calculated, which were made of two cascade sections for an FIR. And then the coefficients of the first cascade were transferred to fixed point. Next step was to quantize the second cascade coefficients into fixed point. To eliminate the finite word-length effects, the LMSE was adopted to compensate zeros in this step. Finally, all the fixed point coefficients were quantized into CSD. In order to prove the effectiveness of the two methods, and the FIR filter was also designed with simple quantized coefficients. The magnitude responses of two methods show that the LMSE quantization is more effective than that of the simple quantization.

    In order to achieve the automatic recognition of the pulse modulation of radar, a new method to simplify the figure of the results of time-frequency analysis to extract features was proposed, and then Support Vector Machine (SVM) was used to sort them according to the features. Firstly, extracted the points with useful information; secondly, found the center of each column of useful points; lastly, sampled these centers at the same length, so the figures were transformed to curves with the same length, and the dimensions of the feature of SVMs had been sharply decreased. The simulation results show that the pulse modulation of radar can be recognized with a high accuracy by the algorithm of this paper. Additionally, this method can tolerate the noise, and the accuracy can be kept at a high level while the SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) is low.
