Internet evolution, along with the advancement of digital multimedia tools have create a major impact in making the storage and distribution of multimedia content a straightforward task. Issues on security have emerged and there is a vital need in protecting the digital content against counterfeiting, piracy and malicious manipulations. This paper

Digital watermarking has been inspired from security concerns over multimedia contents due to the advances of computer technology. Nowadays, it is easy to obtain, manipulate, distribute and store these contents due to evolution of Internet, excellent multimedia tools and low-cost storage devices. Research community and industry has shown extensive

Digital watermarking is a huge research area which is progressively growing. It covers theoretical studies, novel techniques, attacks and performance analysis. Over the years, the digital watermarking community has focused on developing new techniques for watermark embedding and detection. Analysis of these techniques leads to methods for attacks a

A digital watermark is a secret key dependant signal inserted into digital data (images, sound,texts) and which can be later detected/extracted in order to make an assertion about the data. Technically, the digital watermark is represented as a kind of 'natural' noise. The identification information is encoded into the original unwatermarke

Digital watermarking is a huge research area which is progressively growing. It covers theoretical studies. novel techniques, attacks and performance analysis. An embedded watermark may unintentionally or inadvel1ently be impaired by such processing. Other types of processing may be applied with the explicit goal of hindering watermark reception. I

Driver support system is one of the most important feature of the modern vehicles to ensure driver safety and decrease vehicle accident on roads. Apparently, the road lane detection or road boundaries detection is the complex and most challenging tasks. It is includes the localization of the road and the determination of the relative position betwe

Traditional medicine (TM) is a system of health care that has ancient roots. It has been defined as practices designed to promote mental, physical and spiritual well-being of mankind. Usually (TM) are made from various types of medicinal plants. Sometimes they contain other ingredients such as animal parts and minerals however, the primary source o

The technology based on scalable video coding appears as a new phenomenon. The use of internet needs a huge bandwidth and possesses extreme requirements in terms of jitter, latency and loss experiences by viewers. It is very crucial to have the idea of monochrome digital video data sequence which is a set of individual pictures called frames. This

Computer vision, which is a component of the field of artificial intelligence [1], is t~e study of methods and algorithms that enables machines and computers to "see" and "understand" images or multidimensional data [2]. In this context, the term, "understand", means that some information is being extracted from the image or

A remarkable development was achieved in the field of video compression in the past few decades. The first MPEG and H.264 generations were engines behind the triumph and marketability of digital video compression. The ITU-T and ISO/IEC are the main actors in developing image and video coding standard. These two bodies have emerged jointly in develo
