Abstract-Digital watermarking techniques have been developed to protect the copyright of multimedia objects such as text, audio, video, etc. In this paper, we propose a new digital watermarking algorithm with gray image based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT), 2 dimensions discrete cosine transform (DCT) and singular value decomposition (SVD) for robust watermarking of digital images in order to protect digital media copyright efficiently. One of the major advantages of the proposed scheme is the robustness of the technique on wide set of attacks. Experimental results confirm that the proposed scheme provides good image quality of watermarked images.Index Terms-Digital image watermarking, DWT, DCT PSNR, SVD.

Physical modeling has been widely used for sound synthesis since it synthesizes high quality sound which is similar to real-sound for musical instruments. However, physical modeling requires a lot of parameters to synthesize a large number of sounds simultaneously for the musical instrument, preventing its real-time processing. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) based multi-core processor that supports real-time processing of sound synthesis of gayageum which is a representative Korean traditional musical instrument. The proposed SIMD-base multi-core processor consists of 12 processing elements (PE) to control 12 strings of gayageum in which each PE supports modeling of the corresponding string. The proposed SIMD-based multi-core processor can generate synthesized sounds of 12 strings simultaneously after receiving excitation signals and parameters of each string as an input.Experimental results using a sampling reate 44.1 kHz and 16 bits quantization show that synthesis sound using the proposed multi-core processor was very similar to the original sound. In addition, the proposed multi-core processor outperforms commercial processors(TI's TMS320C6416, ARM926EJ-S, ARM1020E) in terms of execution time (5.6~11.4x better) and energy efficiency (about 553~1,424x better).

LabVIEW coding for video dehazing was developed. The dark channel prior proposed by K. He was applied to remove fog based on a single image, and K. B. Gibson's median dark channel prior was applied, and implemented in LabVIEW. In other words, we improved the image processing speed by converting the existing fog removal algorithm, dark channel prior, to the LabVIEW system. As a result, we have developed a real-time fog removal system that can be commercialized. Although the existing algorithm has been utilized, since the performance has been verified real -time, it will be highly applicable in academic and industrial fields. In addition, fog removal is performed not only in the entire image but also in the selected area of the partial region. As an application example, we have developed a system that acquires clear video from the long distance by connecting a laptop equipped with LabVIEW SW that was developed in this paper to a 100～300 times zoom telescope.
