To increase data hiding capacity while keeping the imperceptibility of the hidden data, the replaceable IWT coefficient areas are defined by a complexity measure used in the Bit-Plane Complexity Segmentation Steganography (BPCS). The proposed system shows a high data hiding capacity (more than 2 bpp in many case), while keeping a high fidelity of stegoimage (more than 35 dB of PSNR). To make the proposed system robust enough to some distortion caused by non-ideal communication channel, we introduce an Error Control Coding to the system, which can reduce the Bit Error Rate (BER) of extracted hidden data when the stegoimage receive some channel distortion.","PeriodicalId":371526,"journal":{"name":"16th International Conference on Electronics, Communications and Computers (CONIELECOMP'06)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121410517","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}

This kind of network uses wavelets as activation functions in the hidden layer and a type of backpropagation algorithm is used for its learning. Comparisons are made between a wavelet-network and the typical feed-forward networks trained with the back-propagation algorithm. The results reported in this paper show that wavelet networks have better approximation properties than its similar backpropagation networks.","PeriodicalId":371526,"journal":{"name":"16th International Conference on Electronics, Communications and Computers (CONIELECOMP'06)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114838993","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}

The main goal and contribution of this letter is to extend a previous result on the interference rejection capability for uniform linear arrays, to the uniform circular arrays case. A detailed presentation of the behavior of the interference rejection capability of uniform circular arrays is provided, the effect of varying the number of its elements and inter-element spacing on the SIR (signal-to-interference ratio) performance is considered. Analytical results, for the total average of spatial interference suppression coefficient for circular arrays, as a function of inter-element spacing, are provided.
