Artificial Intelligence – Ii: Watermarking Of Chest Ct Scan Medical Images For Content Authentication, Nisar A. Memon, S.A.M. Gilani, Asad Ali
International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies
Medical image is usually comprised of region of interest (ROI) and region of non interest (RONI). ROI is the region that contains the important information from diagnosis point of view so it must be stored without any distortion. We have proposed a digital watermarking technique which avoids the distortion of image in ROI by embedding the watermark information in RONI. The watermark is comprised of patient information, hospital logo and message authentication code, computed using hash function. Earlier BCH encryption of watermark is performed to ensure inaccessibility of embedded data to the adversaries.

Artificial Intelligence – I: Robust Audio Steganography Via Genetic Algorithm, Mazdak Zamani, Hamed Taherdoost, Azizah A. Manaf, Rabiah B. Ahmad, Akram M. Zeki
International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies
Steganography is a technique used to transmit hidden information by modifying an audio signal in an imperceptible manner. The transmission must be possible in spite of subsequent imperceptible alterations (attacks) of the modified signal. We propose a novel approach of substitution technique of audio steganography. Using genetic algorithm, message bits are embedded into multiple, vague and higher LSB layers, resulting in increased robustness. The robustness specially would be increased against those intentional attacks which try to reveal the hidden message and also some unintentional attacks like noise addition as well.

Metaheuristic Applications And Their Solutions Quality, Dr. Zahid Hussain
International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies
Over the past few decades, a wide variety of classes of combinatorial problems (e.g. the assignment problem, the knapsack problem, the vehicle routing problem, etc.) have emerged - from such areas as management science, telecommunication, AI, VLSI design and many others. Many large combinatorial problems are NP-hard problems because of the combinatorial growth of their solution search space with the problem size. Such problems are commonly solved by some version of a prominent metaheuristic (e.g. Genetic Algorithms, Tabu Search, Simulated Annealing and etc.). These heuristics seek good but approximate solutions at a reasonable computational cost. These heuristics are of stochastic …
Real Time Object Tracking Using Bma, Zeeshan Hameed Khan, Muhammad Aurangzeb
Real Time Object Tracking Using Bma, Zeeshan Hameed Khan, Muhammad Aurangzeb
International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies
This paper describes real time object tracking using block matching algorithm (BMA). Emphasis is made on the development of techniques for tracking a user-selected object through digital image sequences in multimedia systems. The ability to track objects in sequences is useful in situations where the motion of objects is important. It is also useful when a moving object is difficult to see and needs to be highlighted. A tracking tool is also of benefit to the developers of a multimedia system to automatically 'mark up' a moving object so a user of the system can select it and manipulate it.
