Secret image is revealed if any k of the n shares is processed according to the scheme. Research reported in the literature is focused on improving known issues of the method. Reconstruction without distortion, reducing the size expansion of the share images, improving stego image quality and enhancing authentication ability of the method are some of the issues. Recovering cover images after the revealing procedure is an important issue. In 2009, Wu et al. proposed a technique based on Reversible Steganography to solve this problem. A location map is used to recover cover images, which needs extra information. The proposed method outlined in this paper does not need any information except shares to recover cover images. In addition, visual quality of the shares or the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) values of stego images are improved which is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method. Experimental results indicate a 3 dB PSNR improvement on the average compared to Wu et al.'s method.","PeriodicalId":407855,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Information Society","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129945411","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}

Based on this new platform, coordinated work among multi flood prevention departments has been completed by taking the method of telematic service. Correlative information of flood prevention, such as weather, hydrology, remote sensing and disaster and so on can be automatically loaded and integrated in the platform. And the new platform can run ceaselessly under the round-the-clock condition. Ultimately, aided decision-making for flood prevention can be afford to the leaders of government sector and it is convenient for the latter to take effective measures to reduce the losses aroused by different kinds of flood disasters.","PeriodicalId":407855,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Information Society","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116806130","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 most cases, the e-Learning applications are designed and implemented to combine distinct services into a coherent whole in order to fulfil sophisticated tasks that cannot be fulfilled by a single service.

However, application of IT in economic field is very limited. Stability and healthiness of a country's economy directly connects with the accuracy of forecasted Inflation rate. With the recession raised at end of year 2008, world communities pay much attention on inflation and put huge efforts to predict it accurately. Neural networking and data mining are two IT techniques that are commonly used in forecasting and hidden pattern recognition. We have applied both of these techniques to the theoretically sound data set with the intention of identifying most appropriate IT forecasting technique for forecasting the inflation rate. Since forecasted inflation rate directly link with country's monetary policy, accuracy of predictions is very significant. Further continuity of government as well as the economy depends on these decisions. Through this study we were able to identify appropriate characteristics of neural networks and Data mining techniques in case of forecasting inflation rate with high accuracy.","PeriodicalId":407855,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Information Society","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132507448","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 research focused on providing a better approach for identification of rice quality by using neural network and image processing concepts. In this research, a back propagation neural network with two hidden layers has been developed for the quality classification.
