This paper proposes a multi functionality model employed at the transmitting end that provides the advantages of multi level compression, error recovery mechanism and the security for the audio data in ATM networks. The proposed model introduces the modulo coefficient booster transform (MCBT) that translates the relevant frequency domain coefficients of the audio stream filtered from a human acoustic modeler into strictly increasing/decreasing booster coefficients (employing coefficient localization, burrow wheeler transform and mathematical curve tracing). The booster coefficients obtained are fit to corresponding modulo mathematical functions, which are encoded and transmitted after incorporating security and error recovery mechanisms. Employing the PRATM model to provide error recovery for the transmitted data in the noisy channel provides reliability to the data. The proposed transform can be completely invertible (being a function of set lapse time and error deviation threshold) and provides additional security by means of localizations of the functions generated based on hamming distance computations. The model was tested for various bit error rates of high fidelity audio streams simulated in noisy network environments. The PSNRs , security and the overall reliability of the proposed model encourage the model to be preferred for transmissions of audio streams over noisy ATM networks","PeriodicalId":122715,"journal":{"name":"2006 Annual IEEE India Conference","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121480720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, a watermarking scheme is proposed in which the image is decomposed in to wavelet coefficients and a visual recognizable logo and content based watermark information is embedded in the wavelet coefficients. The wavelet coefficients corresponding to the points located in a neighborhood that have maximum entropy are used for embedding the visual logo and the relations between the neighboring coefficients in the selected wavelet sub bands are embedded into middle frequency pairs of the first scale coefficients. This method embeds the maximum amount of watermark while the watermark is imperceptible. This technique provides two levels of protection while maintaining the image quality. The embedding of relation coefficients provide the capability to identify malicious changes made on the image.

The study takes into account the influence of pulse duty-ratio, tight optical filtering, in-line amplifier noise and the impact of delay mismatch in the delay-demodulation receiver while comparing the variants of DPSK systems. The numerical analysis clearly suggests the need for smaller duty ratio for all DPSK formats under tight optical filtering for achieving minimum eye-opening penalty (EOP) due to SPM.
