These models have a limitation as they does not consider the terms proximity in the document or the term-mismatch or… Read full abstract & cite →

A Hybrid Steganography System based on LSB Matching and Replacement

Author 1: Hazem Hiary Author 2: Khair Eddin Sabri Author 3: Mohammed S. Mohammed Author 4: Ahlam Al-Dhamari

This paper proposes a hybrid steganographic ap-proach using the least significant bit (LSB) technique for grayscale images. The proposed approach uses both LSB match-ing (LSB-M) and LSB replacement to hide the secret data in images. Using hybrid LSB techniques increase the level of security. Thus, attackers cannot easily, if not… Read full abstract & cite →

A Novel High Dimensional and High Speed Data Streams Algorithm: HSDStream

Author 1: Irshad Ahmed Author 2: Irfan Ahmed Author 3: Waseem Shahzad

This paper presents a novel high speed clustering scheme for high-dimensional data stream. Data stream clustering has gained importance in different applications, for example, network monitoring, intrusion detection, and real-time sensing. High dimensional stream data is inherently more complex when used for clustering because the evolving nature of the stream… Read full abstract & cite →

Anti-noise Capability Improvement of Minimum Energy Combination Method for SSVEP Detection

Author 1: Omar Trigui Author 2: Wassim Zouch Author 3: Mohamed Ben Messaoud

Minimum energy combination (MEC) is a widely used method for frequency recognition in steady state visual evoked potential based BCI systems. Although it can reach acceptable performances, this method remains sensitive to noise. This paper introduces a new technique for the improvement of the MEC method allowing ameliorating its Anti-noise… Read full abstract & cite →

An Analysis on Natural Image Small Patches

Author 1: Shengxiang Xia Author 2: Wen Wang Author 3: Di Liang

The method of computational homology is used to analyze natural image 8 × 8 and 9x9-patches locally. Our experimental results show that there exist subspaces of the spaces of 8x8 and 9x9-patches that are topologically equivalent to a circle and a Klein bottle respectively. These extend the results of the… Read full abstract & cite →

Intelligent Pedestrian Detection using Optical Flow and HOG

Author 1: Huma Ramzan Author 2: Bahjat Fatima Author 3: Ahmad R. Shahid Author 4: Sheikh Ziauddin Author 5: Asad Ali Safi

Pedestrian detection is an important aspect of autonomous vehicle driving as recognizing pedestrians helps in reducing accidents between the vehicles and the pedestrians. In literature, feature based approaches have been mostly used for pedestrian detection. Features from different body portions are extracted and analyzed for interpreting the presence or absence… Read full abstract & cite →

Peak-to-Average Power Ratio Reduction based Varied Phase for MIMO-OFDM Systems

Author 1: Lahcen Amhaimar Author 2: Saida Ahyoud Author 3: Adel Asselman Author 4: Elkhaldi Said

One of the severe drawbacks of orthogonal fre-quency division multiplexing (OFDM) is high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of transmitted OFDM signals. During modulation the sub-carriers are added together with same phase which increases the value of PAPR, leading to more interference and limits power efficiency of High Power Amplifier (HPA)… Read full abstract & cite →
