In this paper, we propose a few-shot DIR method that leverages spatial encoding within a triple-task collaborative framework to solve these issues. Firstly, we propose a registration network based on the spatial encoding, which represent images using voxel spatial positions, highlighting the importance of structural information in registration network while reducing modality difference between different images. Secondly, we propose a segmentation network based on data augmentation, which is achieved through the registration network. Specifically, we have designed a contrastive learning based discrimination network to suppress the unreliable augmented training data, which is also our third important component of the collaborative framework. Furthermore, the discrimination network also automatically learns similarity measure for the registration network. By iteratively refining the segmentation, registration, and discrimination networks, we are able to obtain a highly accurate registration model.

Moreover, Willie also plays a warden seeking to detect the covert transmission since it forbids Alice from illegally using the communication resources like energy and bandwidth allocated for them. To obtain the maximum covert rate, we first design the transmission schemes for Alice in the case of sending and not sending covert information and further derive the necessary conditions for Alice to perform covert communication.

Recently, an enhanced version known as Improved PPVO (IPPVO) has been introduced, incorporating an upgraded predictor and embedding strategy based on multiple histogram generation and modification within multi-sized prediction contexts. Despite these advancements, IPPVO still faces challenges, such as inaccurate due to underutilization of nearby pixels and suboptimal embedding performance resulting from individual modification of prediction errors. To address these limitations and fully exploit local image correlation, this paper introduces an enhanced IPPVO-based RDH method. The proposed method introduces a novel predictor to redefine prediction contexts for improved accuracy. Simultaneously, a multi-layer embedding strategy ensures reversibility and comprehensive pixel utilization. Subsequently, two-dimensional (2D) multi-histograms are generated, accompanied by a novel 2D mapping design method. This method identifies optimal candidates through extensive statistical analysis of actual embedding results.
