Abstract Today’s forensic science introduces a new research area for digital image analysis for multimedia security. So, Image authentication issues have been raised due to the wide use of image manipulation software to obtain an illegitimate benefit or create misleading publicity by using tempered images. Exiting forgery detection methods can classify only one of the most widely used Copy-Move and splicing forgeries. However, an image can contain one or more types of forgeries. This study has proposed a hybrid method for classifying Copy-Move and splicing images using texture information of images in the spatial domain. Firstly, More >

Abstract The spacecraft equipment layout optimization design (SELOD) problems with complicated performance constraints and diversity are studied in this paper. The previous literature uses the gradient-based algorithm to obtain optimized non-overlap layout schemes from randomly initialized cases effectively. However, these local optimal solutions are too difficult to jump out of their current relative geometry relationships, significantly limiting their further improvement in performance indicators. Therefore, considering the geometric diversity of layout schemes is put forward to alleviate this limitation. First, similarity measures, including modified cosine similarity and gaussian kernel function similarity, are introduced into the layout optimization More >

Abstract This paper presents the application of a p-type Multiplicative Schwarz Method (pMUS) for solving three dimensional waveguide discontinuity with arbitrary shapes. The major ingredients of current approach are: a hierarchical curl-conforming basis functions that incorporates an in-exact Helmholtz decomposition; and, treating each polynomial space (or basis functions group) as an abstract grid/domain in the Schwarz method. Various numerical examples are studied using the proposed approach. The performance has been compared to currently available commercial software and demonstrated superior performance in terms of accuracy as well as efficiency. More >
