Watermarking algorithm for image authentication based on second generation Bandelet by LIU Xu-chong1, LUO Yong1, WANG Jian-xin1, WANG Jie1

“…A watermarking algorithm for image authentication was designed,which was based on second generation Bandelet translation and statistical model.The image directional flow was constructed by using Bandelet,and it could depict the characteristic of the image.By applying noise visibility function,the noise visibility intensity algorithm which was based on Gaussian statistical models was proposed.The blocks of image which contain more texture information were selected to hide the image directional flow,based on the noise visibility intensity algorithm.The image was authen-ticated through comparing the hiding information and the carrier image directional flow created by Bandelet.Experimen-tal results show that the algorithm can resist the JPEG compression and noise attack strongly and guarantee the quality of the sight.It is a blind detection algorithm,and this algorithm has high concealment performance and security.…”

Algorithm of passive “Beidou”/INS closed-loop integrated using two level filter by GAO Fa-qin, TAN Zhan-zhong

“…One scheme of integrated navigation Kalman filter positioning algorithm was put forward to apply to “Beidou” and INS（intertial navigation system）.Using the pseudo-range’s velocity of changing as observations,on the basis of the high stable clock,a closed loop Kalman filtering model that can revise the attitude error of INS was put out,its biggest optimism was that it could change between the close-loop method and open-loop method steadily.Finally,by computer simulation,it explain that our scheme improve the positioning precision effectively when the satellites in sight are less then two ones,and it also show that our scheme can revise the attitude error of INS effectively and estimate the user’s velocity in high precision.…”

NLOS location enhancement algorithm based on depth-first multipath parameter estimation by Xiaofeng LU, Ye DONG, Yuejie LI

“…In order to improve the positioning accuracy of millimeter wave system with non-line-of-sight (NLOS) paths, a depth-first multipath parameter estimation algorithm was proposed based on distributed compressed sensing.According to the evaluated multipath parameters, NLOS path could be identified, so that the localization performance was enhanced.Firstly, depth-first algorithm was applied to reduce the unnecessary path searching, and the more accurate multipath parameters were obtained.Secondly, under the reverse positioning distance residual method, NLOS path recognition could be carried out.Then, the scatterers in the NLOS path were matched, and the position of which were regarded as virtual anchor nodes.Combining the information of base stations and virtual anchor nodes, positioning enhancement was realized.Finally, localization performance of the proposed algorithm was simulated, compared with the distance weighted least square (LS) and maximum discrimination transformation (MDT) algorithms, the performance of the proposed algorithm is improved by 17% and 8% respectively.…”
