Optical image encryption based on binary Fourier transform computer-generated hologram and pixel scrambling technology

A new method of optical image encryption with binary Fourier transform computer-generated hologram (CGH) and pixel-scrambling technology is presented. In this method, the orders of the pixel scrambling, as well as the encrypted image, are used as the keys to decrypt the original image. Therefore, higher security is achieved. Furthermore, the encrypted image is binary, so it is easy to be fabricated and robust against noise and distortion. Computer simulation results are given to verify the feasibility of this method and its robustness against occlusion and additional noise.     

Surface contouring by phase-shifting digital holography

Surface contouring by phase-shifting digital holography is proposed that provides surface height from a change of reconstructed object phases due to the tilt of object illumination. Surface height from a reference plane is directly obtained from the phase change. Its sensitivity depends on the tilt angle as well as on the initial incident angle. By proper selection of the angles we can derive surface height without phase unwrapping. The sensitivity can be enhanced by increasing the tilt angle. Then we need phase unwrapping that is sensitive to noise due to laser speckles in the reconstructed images. This noise could be suppressed by selecting phase values at points of the maximum product of amplitudes before and after the illumination change in the course of data reduction from 1024×1024 to 512×512 and by selecting paths for phase unwrapping by looking for the intensity maximum. The observed height resolution is 20 μm. Effects of numerical focusing have also been investigated. The present method has the same sensitivity as the fringe projection method, but it has larger measurement depth and is also applicable to the deformation measurement with the same arrangement.

A novel blind digital watermarking algorithm for embedding color image into color image

A robust and blind watermarking technique for dual color images is proposed in this paper. According to the energy concentrating feature of DCT, the two-level DCT is introduced and used to embed color watermark image into color host image, which is completely different with the traditional DCT. For reducing the redundancy of watermark information, the original color watermark image is compressed by the proposed compression method. After two-level DCT, nine AC coefficients in different positions of each sub-block are selected and quantified to embed watermark information. Moreover, only the extraction rules are used to extract watermark from the watermarked image without resorting to the original host image or watermark image. Experimental results show that the proposed watermarking algorithm can effectively improve the quality of the watermarked image and the robustness of the embedded watermark against various attacks.

Digital holography as a tool for testing high-aperture micro-optics

The collimation of strongly diverging laser beams emitted by high-power diode lasers is performed with aspherical micro-optical components which have large numerical apertures up to NA=0.7. Conventional interferometric techniques do neither deliver the resolution nor the test frequency and are too costly for an industrial application.Digital holography is presented as a measurement tool for the characterization of micro-optical components in this paper providing a robust and fast technique with a simple and compact setup.The setup presented in this contribution does not apply any imaging or magnifying optics thus avoiding any additional aberrations in the wavefront which would falsify the measurement. The reconstruction process is performed in the computer giving direct access to intensity and phase of the measured wavefront. Additional experimental efforts like, e.g. phase shifting techniques are not needed.The large numerical aperture of the microlenses leads to high fringe densities in the holograms which cannot be resolved by CCD-detectors directly. In order to avoid this problem digital holography is combined with a multiple wavelength technique and a diffusing screen to capture the highly diverging wavefront. An averaging method to reduce the introduced speckle noise is applied and results of the characterization of refractive cylindrical microlenses are presented.     

Use of digital color holography for crack investigation in electronic components

This paper presents the experimental optical analysis of the crack inside an electronic component. The optical setup is used to carry out multidimensional deformation measurements using digital color holography and the spatial multiplexing of holograms. Since the Fresnel transform method depends on wavelength, a wavelength-dependent-zero-padding algorithm is described and results in a rigorous sizing of each reconstructed monochrome image. The criterion to optimize the parameters is presented and is based on minimizing the widening of the impulse response of the full recording/reconstruction process. The application of the proposed method is illustrated through the analysis of the mechanical deformation of the electronic component, and offers keys to understand its failure mode in industrial conditions.     

A blind color image watermarking based on DC component in the spatial domain

Color image watermarking has become essential and important copyright protection or authentication scheme. It is noted that most of the existing color image watermarking algorithms are performed only in the single domain (spatial domain or frequency domain), and not to integrate these merits of the different domains. By utilizing the generating principle and distribution feature of the direct current (DC) coefficient, a novel blind watermarking algorithm is proposed for color host images in this paper. Firstly, the Y luminance of host image is divided into 8 × 8 sub-blocks and the DC coefficients of each block are directly calculated in the spatial domain without DCT transform. Secondly, according to the watermark information and the quantization step, the DC coefficients are calculated and their increments are further utilized to modify directly the values of all pixels in the spatial domain instead of the DCT domain to embed watermark. When watermark extraction, only the watermarked image and the quantization step are needed in the spatial domain. Experimental results show that the proposed method not only can resist both traditional signal processing attacks and geometric attacks, but also has more efficient in computational complexity. Comparisons also demonstrate the advantages of the method.

Experimental results prove that the presented method has good robustness in image protection.

Digital image correlation for large deformation applied in Ti alloy compression and tension test

In this paper, digital speckle correlation is used in the measurement of Ti alloy compression and tension test. The key technologies applied in the measurement are discussed in detail, including camera calibration with telephoto lens and digital image correlation in large deformation. Single camera self-calibration algorithm based on photogrammetry is proposed. In the algorithm, the interior parameters of camera are estimated without calibrated object, using the bundle adjustment technique, so the 3-D coordinates of calibration target points are not needed in advance to get a reliable camera calibration result. An updating reference image scheme could be employed to deal with large deformation situation. A large deformation measurement scheme, updating reference image scheme, is proposed in this paper. The un-deformed image is used as reference in correlation at first. Only for extremely large deformation field, in which iteration of correlation is not convergent, the reference image is updated to the image of previous deformed stage. Using this method, not only extremely large deformation can be measured successfully but also the accumulated error could be controlled. The 75 mm lens is calibrated in the measurement and compared the result with extensometer and un-calibrated image. Experimental results show that up to 150% tensile deformation and 50% compression deformation can be measured successfully.     

A simple method of contrast enhancement and extremum extraction for interference fringes

A method of interference fringe processing by finding the average and the extremum gray levels of image points within a fixed or varying window and then computing the modified image intensity with a simple algorithm is proposed. This method can yield a uniform brightness and high (1 or near to 1) contrast at the same time over the whole image area for an input pattern with low contrast and considerable luminance variation, when a relatively large window is used. It can also perform extremum extraction if a small window is employed. This technique is simple, effective and convenient for use, as has been verified by a series of examples of simulated and experimental fringe processing.

Implementation of an algorithm for detecting patterns in defocused scenes using binary joint transform correlation

An original method to detect images in defocused scenes by means of a binary joint transform correlation is presented. Defocused images are described in frequency domain as the product between the Fourier transform of the in-focus scene by the optical transfer function of the imaging lens. This function, which presents positive and negative values, introduces sign errors in the joint power spectrum. The goal of this study is to detect the sign of the optical transfer function starting from the defocused image by means of a digital algorithm. Information provided by the algorithm allows to compensate the sign errors in the binary joint power spectrum and to obtain invariant correlations with respect to defocusing. Theoretical analysis and digital experiments to test the procedure are provided.     

Digital in-line holography for the characterization of flowing particles in astigmatic optical systems

An extended Generalized Fresnel Transform (GFT) is proposed to account for the astigmatism introduced by optical elements described, in the paraxial approximation, with a ray transfer matrix analysis. Generalized impulse response and generalized Fresnel transfer function propagators as well as sampling conditions are derived to properly implement this transformation. As a test case, the near-field diffraction patterns and in-line holograms produced by droplets flowing in a tube with cylindrical interfaces have been simulated. A best fitting approach is introduced to retrieve, from the propagated holograms, the 3D position and size of the droplets. Several hologram focusing indicators based on the analysis of droplets focus region are also proposed to further improve the estimation of the droplets position along the optical axis. Numerical simulations and experimental results confirm the applicability and accuracy of the proposed methods.     

Asymmetric optical cryptosystem for color image based on equal modulus decomposition in gyrator transform domains

An enhanced asymmetric cryptosystem for color image is proposed by using equal modulus decomposition (EMD) in the gyrator transform domains. In this scheme, the EMD is performed to create the effective trapdoor one-way function. Moreover, to enhance the security of the cryptosystem, the Baker mapping is considered and utilized for scrambling the RGB components of the color image. The parameters in the Baker mapping and gyrator transform can be served as the extra keys of the entire cryptosystem. Various types of attacks are considered in the robustness analysis experiments. Some numerical simulations are made to verify the validity and capability of the proposed color encryption algorithm.     

Digital holography particle image velocimetry for the measurement of 3Dt-3c flows

In this paper a digital in-line holographic recording and reconstruction system was set up and used in the particle image velocimetry for the 3Dt-3c (the three-component (3c), velocity vector field measurements in a three-dimensional (3D), space field with time history (t)) flow measurements that made up of the new full-flow field experimental technique—digital holographic particle image velocimetry (DHPIV). The traditional holographic film was replaced by a CCD chip that records instantaneously the interference fringes directly without the darkroom processing, and the virtual image slices in different positions were reconstructed by computation using Fresnel–Kirchhoff integral method from the digital holographic image. Also a complex field signal filter (analyzing image calculated by its intensity and phase from real and image parts in fast fourier transform (FFT)) was applied in image reconstruction to achieve the thin focus depth of image field that has a strong effect with the vertical velocity component resolution. Using the frame-straddle CCD device techniques, the 3c velocity vector was computed by 3D cross-correlation through space interrogation block matching through the reconstructed image slices with the digital complex field signal filter. Then the 3D-3c-velocity field (about 20 000 vectors), 3D-streamline and 3D-vorticiry fields, and the time evolution movies (30 field/s) for the 3Dt-3c flows were displayed by the experimental measurement using this DHPIV method and techniques.
