Summary: This paper proposes a novel reversible fragile digital watermarking method for tamper localization and authenticity and integrity protection in medical images. The method divides the host image into 8x8 non-overlapped blocks and applies a Discrete Wavelet Transform to transform the image to the frequency domain, where the watermark information is embedded. The image is then converted back to the spatial domain using an inverse Discrete Wavelet Transform, and an intelligent optimization technique is used to correct rounding errors and maximize imperceptibility.

Summary: This paper presents a one-dimensional exponential Chebyshev chaotic map for multimedia security. The chaotic dynamics of the map are thoroughly examined using bifurcation diagram, Lyapunov exponents, sample entropy, and permutation entropy. A visually meaningful image encryption scheme based on this chaotic map is proposed, which includes a method to eliminate the correlation of adjacent pixels and an adaptive embedding method to fuse privacy information into carrier images. The scheme also introduces secret image share and authentication information for disaster-tolerance performance and distributed management and storage of data. Simulation results show satisfactory security and robustness, with steganographic images achieving a visual quality above 50.9 dB.

Summary: This article proposes an effective algorithm called Modified Underwater Dark Channel Prior (MUWDCP) for haze removal in underwater images based on image prior. The algorithm computes underwater dark channel information using only blue-green channels, taking advantage of the fact that red color undergoes high absorption and drops at about a depth of 3m. To improve atmospheric light estimation, the algorithm introduces a novel global atmospheric light estimation method based on arithmetic Mode operation. Unlike most methods, MUWDCP estimates transmission maps of all three-color channels while maintaining low computational complexity. Experimental results demonstrate that MUWDCP provides significantly improved visual quality compared to state-of-the-art algorithms.

Summary: This paper proposes a distinctive Hybrid Adaptive Image Encryption (HAIE) scheme that modifies the chaotic system's initial conditions and control parameters using statistical parameters of the plain image. The scheme involves two chaotic maps, logistic map and tent map, to generate pseudo-random sequences. The encrypted image is a hybrid image obtained by permuting half of the plain image using the logistic map and the other half using the tent map. Experimental results show that the scheme has good encryption effect, can resist various attacks, and is highly robust against noise and cropping attacks.
