The challenge is that the host image is continuous, while the watermarked halftone is bi-level. To search for a solution, an attribute image is defined as a good connection between the original grayscale image and its halftone image. When the attribute image is used as a watermark carrier, it helps to fred the watermarked halftone efficiently by solving a constrained modified direct binary search problem. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme in comparison with other similar methods maintains high watermark capacity with good image quality, high robustness, processing efficiency and easy decoding. Especially it has a good performance in printing application.展开更多

In this paper, first, analyzing the IGS quantizing operations reveals the capability of conserving a DC signal level of a source image through the quantization. Then, a complete procedure for producing a multi-level halftone image by IGS quantization that can achieve the DC conservation is presented. Also, the procedure uses the scanning of source pixels in an order such that geometric patterns can be prevented from occurring in the resulting halftone image. Next, the performance of the multi-level IGS halftoning is evaluated by experiments conducted on 8-bit gray-scale test images in comparison with the halftoning by error diffusion. The experimental result demonstrates that a signal level to be quantized in the IGS halftoning varies more randomly than that in the error diffusion halftoning, but not entirely randomly. Also, visual quality of the resulting halftone images was measured by subjective evaluations of viewers. The result indicates that for 3 or more-bit, in other words, 8 or more-level halftones, the IGS halftoning achieves image quality comparable to that by the error diffusion.展开更多

These distances could range from kilometers to tens of kilometers, and even hundreds and thousands of kilometers. Therefore, it is crucial to develop effective long-range path planning for lunar rovers to meet the demands of lunar patrol exploration. This paper presents a hierarchical map model path planning method that utilizes the existing high-resolution images, digital elevation models and mineral abundance maps. The objective is to address the issue of the construction of lunar rover travel costs in the absence of large-scale, high-resolution digital elevation models. This method models the reference and semantic layers using the middle- and low-resolution remote sensing data. The multi-scale obstacles on the lunar surface are extracted by combining the deep learning algorithm on the high-resolution image, and the obstacle avoidance layer is modeled. A two-stage exploratory path planning decision is employed for long-distance driving path planning on a global–local scale. The proposed method analyzes the long-distance accessibility of various areas of scientific significance, such as Rima Bode. A high-precision digital elevation model is created using stereo images to validate the method. Based on the findings, it can be observed that the entire route spans a distance of 930.32 km. The route demonstrates an impressive ability to avoid meter-level impact craters and linear structures while maintaining an average slope of less than 8°. This paper explores scientific research by traversing at least seven basalt units, uncovering the secrets of lunar volcanic activities, and establishing ‘golden spike’ reference points for lunar stratigraphy. The final result of path planning can serve as a valuable reference for the design, mission demonstration, and subsequent project implementation of the new manned lunar rover.展开更多

文摘An access control model is proposed based on the famous Bell-LaPadula （BLP） model.In the proposed model,hierarchical relationships among departments are built,a new concept named post is proposed,and assigning security tags to subjects and objects is greatly simplified.The interoperation among different departments is implemented through assigning multiple security tags to one post, and the more departments are closed on the organization tree,the more secret objects can be exchanged by the staff of the departments.The access control matrices of the department,post and staff are defined.By using the three access control matrices,a multi granularity and flexible discretionary access control policy is implemented.The outstanding merit of the BLP model is inherited,and the new model can guarantee that all the information flow is under control.Finally,our study shows that compared to the BLP model,the proposed model is more flexible.

文摘An effective shape signature namely multi-level included angle functions MIAFs is proposed to describe the hierarchy information ranging from global information to local variations of shape.Invariance to rotation translation and scaling are the intrinsic properties of the MIAFs.For each contour point the multi-level included angles are obtained based on the paired line segments derived from unequal-arc-length partitions of contour.And a Fourier descriptor derived from multi-level included angle functions MIAFD is presented for efficient shape retrieval.The proposed descriptor is evaluated with the standard performance evaluation method on three shape image databases the MPEG-7 database the Kimia-99 database and the Swedish leaf database. The experimental results of shape retrieval indicate that the MIAFD outperforms the existing Fourier descriptors and has low computational complexity.And the comparison of the MIAFD with other shape description methods also shows that the proposed descriptor has the highest precision at the same recall value which verifies its effectiveness.

文摘The multi-level ditch system developed in the Sanjiang Plain,Northeast China has sped up water drainage process hence transferred more pollutants from farmlands into the rivers of this region.Understanding the seasonal dynamics of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) transportation in the ditch system and the role of different ditch size is thus crucial for water pollution control of the rivers in the Sanjiang Plain.In this study,an investigation was conducted in the Nongjiang watershed of the Sanjiang Plain to study the nutrient variation and the correlation between water and sediments in the ditch system in terms of ditch level.Water and sediments samples were collected in each ditch level in growing season at regular intervals (once per month),and TN,NO 3--N,NH 4+-N,TP,and PO 4 3--P were analyzed.The results show that nutrient contents in water were higher in June and July,especially in July,the contents of TN and TP were 3.21mg/L and 0.84mg/L in field ditch,4.04mg/L and 1.06mg/L in lateral ditch,2.46mg/L and 0.70mg/L in branch ditch,1.92mg/L and 0.63mg/L in main ditch,respectively.In August and September,the nutrient contents in the water were relatively lower.The peak value of nutrient in ditch water had been moving from the field ditch to the main ditch over time,showing a remarkable impact of ditch system on river water environment.The nutrient transfer in ditch sediments could only be found in rainfall season.Nutrient contents in ditch sediment had effect on that in ditch water,but nutrients in ditch water and sediments had different origination.Ditch management in terms of the key fac-tors is hence very important for protecting river water environment.

文摘This paper is a continuation of our last paper [1] which describes the theory of Virt-BLP model. Based on Virt-BLP model,this paper implements a mandatory access control(MAC) framework applicable to multi-level security(MLS) in Xen. The Virt-BLP model is the theoretical basis of this MAC framework,and this MAC framework is the implementation of Virt-BLP model. Our last paper focuses on Virt-BLP model,while this paper concentrates on the design and implementation of MAC framework. For there is no MAC framework applicable to MLS in virtual machine system at present,our MAC framework fills the blank by applying Virt-BLP model to Xen,which is better than current researches to guarantee the security of communication between virtual machines(VMs) . The experimental results show that our MAC framework is effective to manage the communication between VMs.

文摘In industrial processes,there exist faults that have complex effect on process variables.Complex and simple faults are defined according to their effect dimensions.The conventional approaches based on structured residuals cannot isolate complex faults.This paper presents a multi-level strategy for complex fault isolation.An extraction procedure is employed to reduce the complex faults to simple ones and assign them to several levels.On each level,faults are isolated by their different responses in the structured residuals.Each residual is obtained insensitive to one fault but more sensitive to others.The faults on different levels are verified to have different residual responses and will not be confused.An entire incidence matrix containing residual response characteristics of all faults is obtained,based on which faults can be isolated.The proposed method is applied in the Tennessee Eastman process example,and the effectiveness and advantage are demonstrated.
