We propose a blind watermarking method where the watermark is a hologram itself. In the proposed approach, the quantized phase of the hologram is embedded into the wavelet-transformed host image using quantization index modulation. In the detection stage, wavelet transform of the watermarked image followed by a minimum distance decoder is used. The proposed method is blind since it requires only information about the quantizers and the parameters of the hologram recording process. The robustness of the proposed technique is tested against several attacks such as filtering, compression, occlusion, and cropping. Moreover, we discuss the effect of quantization of the hologram on the reconstruction quality. (c) 2006 Optical Society of America

Quantization index modulation based watermarking using holography Okman, O. Erman; Akar, Gözde (2006-08-16) In this paper, we propose a blind watermarking method where watermark is chosen as the hologram of the signal to be embedded. In the proposed approach the quantized phase of the hologram is embedded into an image using quantization index modulation (QIM). The robustness of the proposed technique is tested against several attacks such as filtering, compression, occlusion and cropping. Also the effects of quantization of the hologram on the reconstruction quality are demonstrated. © (2006) COPYRIGHT Society o...
Phase-space window and degrees of freedom of optical systems with multiple apertures Ozaktas, Haldun M.; Öktem, Sevinç Figen (The Optical Society, 2013-04-01) We show how to explicitly determine the space-frequency window (phase-space window) for optical systems consisting of an arbitrary sequence of lenses and apertures separated by arbitrary lengths of free space. If the space-frequency support of a signal lies completely within this window, the signal passes without information loss. When it does not, the parts that lie within the window pass and the parts that lie outside of the window are blocked, a result that is valid to a good degree of approximation for ...
Cohen's bilinear class of shift-invariant space/spatial-frequency signal representations for particle-location analysis of in-line Fresnel holograms Ozgen, MT; Demirbaş, Kerim (The Optical Society, 1998-08-01) The Cohen bilinear class of shift-invariant space-frequency representations provides an automated means for extracting three-dimensional particle locations from in-line holograms without any focusing. For two-dimensional holograms a fixed-frequency slice technique, based on examining, concurrently, the zero-frequency slice and a nonzero-frequency slice of the two-dimensional representation used, is developed for particle-location analysis. The trade-off between auto-term sharpness and cross-term suppression...
The effect of Laplacian filter in adaptive unsharp masking for infrared image enhancement İLK, HAKKI GÖKHAN; Jane, Onur; İlk Dağ, Özlem (Elsevier BV, 2011-09-01) Image processing, in particular image enhancement techniques have been the focal point of considerable research activity in the last decade. With the aid of an existing image enhancement technique, adaptive unsharp masking (AUM), we propose a novel kernel to be used in AUM filtering in order to enhance discontinuities which occur on the edges of targets of interest in infrared (IR) images. The proposed method uses an adaptive filter approach where an objective function is minimized by using descent algorith...
Noise reduction in high dynamic range imaging Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz (Elsevier BV, 2007-10-01) A common method to create high dynamic range (HDR) images is to combine several different exposures of the same scene. In this approach, the use of higher ISO settings will reduce exposure times, and thereby the total capture time. This is advantageous in certain environments where it may help minimize ghosting artifacts. However, exposures taken at high sensitivity settings tend to be noisy, which is further amplified by the HDR creation algorithm. We present a robust and efficient technique to significant...
