Abstract To address the challenges of video copyright protection and ensure the perfect recovery of original video, we propose a dual-domain watermarking scheme for digital video, inspired by Robust Reversible Watermarking (RRW) technology used in digital images. Our approach introduces a parameter optimization strategy that incrementally adjusts scheme parameters through attack simulation fitting, allowing for adaptive tuning of experimental parameters. In this scheme, the low-frequency Polar Harmonic Transform (PHT) moment is utilized as the embedding domain for robust watermarking, enhancing stability against simulation attacks while implementing the parameter optimization strategy. Through extensive attack simulations across various… More >

Abstract Recovering high-quality inscription images from unknown and complex inscription noisy images is a challenging research issue. Different from natural images, character images pay more attention to stroke information. However, existing models mainly consider pixel-level information while ignoring structural information of the character, such as its edge and glyph, resulting in reconstructed images with mottled local structure and character damage. To solve these problems, we propose a novel generative adversarial network (GAN) framework based on an edge-guided generator and a discriminator constructed by a dual-domain U-Net framework, i.e., EDU-GAN. Unlike existing frameworks, the generator introduces the… More >

Abstract The proposed robust reversible watermarking algorithm addresses the compatibility challenges between robustness and reversibility in existing video watermarking techniques by leveraging scene smoothness for frame grouping videos. Grounded in the H.264 video coding standard, the algorithm first employs traditional robust watermark stitching technology to embed watermark information in the low-frequency coefficient domain of the U channel. Subsequently, it utilizes histogram migration techniques in the high-frequency coefficient domain of the U channel to embed auxiliary information, enabling successful watermark extraction and lossless recovery of the original video content. Experimental results demonstrate the algorithm’s strong imperceptibility, with… More >

Abstract Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) tracking has been possible because of the growth of intelligent information technology in smart cities, making it simple to gather data at any time by dynamically monitoring events, people, the environment, and other aspects in the city. The traditional filter creates a model to address the boundary effect and time filter degradation issues in UAV tracking operations. But these methods ignore the loss of data integrity terms since they are overly dependent on numerous explicit previous regularization terms. In light of the aforementioned issues, this work suggests a dual-domain Jensen-Shannon divergence… More >
