    Japanese, Scientific journal, 近年,監視カメラ映像におけるプライバシー侵害の問題が注目されている.これまでの可逆的プライバシー保護手法では記録画像の流出による第三者からのプライバシー侵害行為を防ぐことができるが,監視者が確認する記録画像にはプライバシー保護処理が施されていないため,悪意ある監視者によるプライバシー侵害行為を防ぐことができない.監視者が確認する記録画像に対するプライバシー保護手法として,目標画質より算出された二乗誤差を基準としたスクランブル処理とヒストグラム操作による復元に関わる情報の埋め込み処理を組み合わせた手法がある.そこで本稿ではその手法に改良を加え,処理時間を大幅に短縮し,実用に耐えうる技法を実現した.また,改良した手法において,スクランブル強度制御実験,プライバシー保護レベル評価実験および動作の検出実験,さらに単位画像あたりの処理時間測定によるリアルタイム性評価実験を行い,その有効性を確認した.

    In this paper, we propose a reversible partial scrambling technique embedding different types of contents. In the proposed technique, for videos with sound, partial scrambling is generated at the same time when the audio data is being embedded into quantized discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients of the video data during the coding process to MPEG4 format. For videos with sound muxing standard videos and standard sounds, verification experiments with the MSB values between the original videos and the recovered videos are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed technique., The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers, Japanese

    We propose a reversible privacy protection technique for surveillance camera which enables controlling quantitative scramble degree and file size increase. Our proposed technique combines scrambling method based on square value calculated from target image quality and embedding method using histogram manipulation for reconstruction information in the image compression process, and these are performed in every DCT 8×8 block divided into scrambling area and data hiding area respectively. We confirmed the validity of our technique by scramble degree control experiment with two types of images having different number of people., The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers, Japanese

  • Evaluation of Threshold Levels using Complexity Distributions in BPCS Steganography Technique

    It is necessary to reduce two variance values of the degradation level of stego images and the embedding rate in steganography techniques. We proposed a technique in revaluating threshold levels for judging complexity boundary. This technique can be achieved by determining the complexity distributions, which is consisted by the complexity gained by the judgment of complexity, and the number of macroblocks having the complexity in the BPCS steganography technique, and confirmed the effectiveness. However, parameters used in reevaluation of threshold levels aren't in correlation with the complexity distributions and are set arbitrarily. In this paper, we proposed technique parameters set automatically by a standard deviation of a normal distribution and confirmed the effectiveness by the experiments., The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers, Japanese

    Xuan proposed a reversible data hiding technique for JPEG images, which embeds secret information using histogram manipulation of the DOT coefficients. The problem regarding Xuan's method revolves around the requirement of the empirical considerations of the two parameters which governs the payload, PSNR, and the file size growth rate of the embedded images. Our method proposes an improvement over Xuan's method, where it can reduce the user's burden and show efficiency of the previous parameters because the conventional parameter have been changed from two to one parameter., The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers, Japanese

    The partial scrambling which is performed before variable length coding enables quantitative degradation degree control based on PSNR by fluctuation or exchange of DCT coefficients. However, those methods have problems with file size increase and accuracy deterioration of degradation degree control. Therefore, we proposed the image partial scrambling technique which enables controlling file size increase and improving accuracy of degradation degree control. The proposed method exchanges DCT coefficients based on square error value which one DCT coefficient should reach. Then, we compared our method with other methods about accuracy of degradation degree control and file size growth rate., The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers, Japanese

    This paper proposes a decreasing technique of increase rate of data size in the partial scrambling technique. In the proposed technique, quantized DCT coefficients in I-frames are shuffled or changed by a target image quality for PSNR. The amount of change to scramble is corrected in order to be independent on the kinds of videos, and to shuffle or to change the quantized DCT coefficients is selected to decrease the increase rate of data size. In addition, the result of increase rate of data size and subjective evaluation experiment show the effectiveness of the proposed technique., The Institute of Image Information and Television Engineers, Japanese

    コンピュータグラフィックス(CG)技法において、3次元モデルを2次元の画面に表示する原理により、2次元と3次元の中間に位置する2.X次元のアートと呼べる、新しいマルチメディア・アート技法を開発した。開発技法で実際に2.X次元アートの作品を制作してみて、評価と考察を行った。開発技法は従来TIP(Tour Into the Picture)と呼ばれているCG技法を参考にしており、1枚の手書きスケッチから擬似3次元画像を制作して表示する技法の開発を進めた。この技法では、絵の中に描き込まれた対象物や景観を切り出して、これに距離情報を付加したキャンバスに貼り付け、絵のモデルの再構成を行う必要がある。従来の方法ではこれを手作業で行っていて、利用上で手間のかかるもので、新しいアートのツールとして定着させるには難点があった。この点を改良して、対象物の切り出しと切り出した画面の抜け跡を背景で埋める作業を半自動化する技法を開発した。その際、表示画面上での切り出し作業や穴埋め作業をペン型のマウス(タブレットPC)で行えるようにして、利用者に使い易いシステムを開発した。視点や視線方向の設定、目の動きの設定、等も画面上のメニューから選べるようにしており、一般の利用者でも容易に使えるようなシステムとして完成させた。このシステム構築に際して、手描きの絵から遠近情報を取り出す方法の考察、アニメーション表示に...
