Thereby the commonly used mosaic parameterization of subgrid runoff ratio was integrated into a statistical–dynamic scheme with the bulk heterogeneity of a grid area included. Furthermore, a series of numerical experiments evaluating the reliability of the parameterization were conducted using the data generated by the emulated simulation method. All the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme is feasible and practical.展开更多

The moment-based watermarking schemes show good robustness to common signal processing attacks and some geometric attacks but are sensitive to cropping attack. In this paper, we modify the moment-based approach to deal with cropping attack. Firstly, we find the probability density function （PDF） of the pixel value distribution from the original image. Secondly, we reshape and normalize the pdf of the pixel value distribution （PPVD） to form a two dimensional image. Then, the moment invariants are calculated from the PPVD image. Since PPVD is insensitive to cropping, the proposed method is robust to cropping attack. Besides, it also has high robustness against other common attacks. Theoretical analysis and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多
