The intrusion of information theoretic tools into the data hiding realm lead to the design and analysis of new blind detection methods. Although an extended analysis has already been built on different quantization-based data hiding methods, we propose another quantization-based method, which uses trellis coded quantization. The performance of the proposed method is compared against other well-known methods by simulations. The promising results show that the proposed method can be preferred in certain applications.

Data hiding using trellis coded quantization
Esen, E; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2004-10-27)
Information theoretic tools lead to the design and analysis of new blind data hiding methods. A novel quantizationbased blind method, which uses trellis coded quantization, is proposed in this manuscript. The redundancy in initial state selection during trellis coded quantization is exploited to hide information as the index of this initial state. This index is recovered at the receiver by Viterbi decoding after comparison with all initial states. The performance of the proposed method is compared against o...
Comparison of Forbidden Zone Data Hiding and Quantization Index Modulation
Esen, Ersin; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2012-01-01)
Developing practical data hiding schemes that approach theoretical steganographic capacity limits is still a challenging research area. In this aspect, this problem is approached from a different perspective by proposing a novel method that relies on the newly introduced forbidden zone concept, which is defined as the host signal range, where no alterations are allowed. The proposed method, Forbidden Zone Data Hiding (FZDH), combines the forbidden zone with binning schemes and it is formulated both in gener...
Management of Complex and Fuzzy Queries Using a Fuzzy SOLAP-Based Framework
Keskin, Sinan; Yazıcı, Adnan (2021-01-01)
With the use of data warehouses, the need for faster access and analysis to historical and multidimensional data has arisen. Online analytical processing (OLAP), developed for this purpose, has provided suitable data structures that overcome some of the limitations of relational databases by providing rapid data analysis. OLAP can display and collect large amounts of data while providing searchable access to any data point and handle a wide variety of complex queries that match user interests. While OLAP en...
OCCLUSION-AWARE HMM-BASED TRACKING BY LEARNING
Marpuc, Tughan; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2014-10-30)
Recently, an emerging class of methods, namely tracking by detection, achieved quite promising results on challenging tracking data sets. These techniques train a classifier in an online manner to separate the object from its background. These methods only take input location of the object and a random feature pool; then, a classifier bootstraps itself by using the current tracker state and extracted positive and negative samples. Following these approaches, a novel tracking system is proposed. A feature se...
A new concept in data hiding: Forbidden zone
Esen, Ersin; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2006-01-01)
A new concept is introduced to data hiding field. This concept, which is named as Forbidden Zone, corresponds to the region where it is forbidden to alter the host signal. A new data hiding method is devised depending on Forbidden Zone. The proposed method is formulated by using a single control parameter and quantizers. Using uniform source and uniform quantizers the proposed method is theoretically shown to be superior than QIM in 1D. The obtained theoretical result is also verified by experiments.
