  • Patent number: 9947065
    Abstract: A zero-watermarking registration and detection method for HEVC video streaming against requantization transcoding is provided. To increase an attack-resistance of a registration watermarking, the registration method firstly processes depth values corresponding to respective brightness blocks in a target video streaming with a depth binarization during constructing registration watermarking information through depth features, because the depth binarization well reflects a robustness of the registration watermarking. A first watermarking information matrix including a part of the depth values after the depth binarization is encrypted with a random matrix, so as to increase a safety of the registration watermarking. The registration method directly generates zero-watermarking through the depth features of the video streaming without modifying original carrier information and affecting a watermarking transparency.

  • Patent number: 9846818
    Abstract: An objective assessment method for a color image quality based on online manifold learning considers a relationship between a saliency and an image quality objective assessment. Through a visual saliency detection algorithm, saliency maps of a reference image and a distorted image are obtained for further obtaining a maximum fusion saliency map. Based on maximum saliencies of image blocks in the maximum fusion saliency map, a saliency difference between each reference image block and a corresponding distorted image block is measured through an absolute difference, and thus reference visual important image blocks and distorted visual important image blocks are screened and extracted. Through manifold eigenvectors of the reference visual important image blocks and the distorted visual important image blocks, an objective quality assessment value of the distorted image is calculated.

  • Patent number: 9756323
    Abstract: A video quality objective assessment method based on a spatiotemporal domain structure firstly combines a spatiotemporal domain gradient magnitude and color information for calculating a spatiotemporal domain local similarity, and then uses variance fusion for spatial domain fusion. The spatiotemporal domain local similarity is fused into frame-level objective quality value, and then a temporal domain fusion model is established by simulating three important global temporal effects, which are a smoothing effect, an asymmetric track effects and a recency effect, of a human visual system. Finally, the objective quality values of the distorted video sequence are obtained. By modeling the human visual temporal domain effect, the temporal domain weighting method of the present invention is able to accurately and efficiently evaluate the objective quality of the distorted video.
