Currently, there are many approaches for image transformations that are developed to cover the new technology in the huge amount of data treatment. In this paper, a study on Curvelet transformation coefficients was performed based on the aerial image to apply segmentation. This paper applies a lot of modifications on cut off frequencies on the filters, which is used to decompose the image on curvelet transformation. Two approaches are proposed and tested to look for the best segmentation result; the first one is based on designing filters manually, while the second evaluates the filter coefficients depending on the selected shape of the filters. The first technique gives acceptable segmentation and the second reaches the optimal result. One of the most important results is that the cut of frequency has a high effect on the segmentation; in addition, choosing filter parameters depended on the coefficients dimension of the curvelet transformation. Finally, the results show that the first approach underperformed the second one.

Nowadays, the field of Internet of Things (IoT) has become a new trend and one of the most attractive areas of research. It has a wide range of applications; starting from smart devices to developing smart cities. The main issue in this kind of applications is the limitation in network resources (e.g., energy, memory, connectivity, etc.). Most of the works in the literature deal with this issue in a traditional way. For instance, developing routing protocols that find the optimal path for data forwarding. This paper looks to this issue from a different angle. In this work, we aim at testing different mobility patterns and then investigate their impact of the consumption of network resources under particular distributions and data routing protocols. The aspect we aim to investigate and measure is the amount of data exchanged, which in turn affects the power and the memory consumption of a network. We also measure two more aspects; performance stability, and data coverage area. The results show that mobility models play a significant role in the overall network performance.

Data mining is the process of extracting hidden patterns from data. One of the most important activities in data mining is the association rule mining and the new head for data mining research area is privacy of mining. Privacy preserving data mining is a new research trend in privacy data for data mining and statistical database. Data mining can be applied on centered or distributed databases. Most efficient approaches for mining distributed databases suppose that all of the data at each site can be shared. Privacy concerns may prevent the sites from directly sharing the data, and some types of information about the data. Privacy Preserving Data Mining (PPDM) has become increasingly popular because it allows sharing of privacy sensitive data for analysis purposes. In this paper, the problem of privacy preserving association rule mining in horizontally distributed database is addressed by proposing a system to compute a global frequent itemsets or association rules from different sites without disclosing individual transactions. Indeed, a new algorithm is proposed to hide sensitive frequent itemsets or sensitive association rules from the global frequent itemsets by hiding them from each site individually. This can be done by modifying the original database for each site in order to decrease the support for each sensitive itemset or association rule. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm hides rules in a distributed system with the good execution time, and with limited side effects. Also, the proposed system has the capability to calculate the global frequent itemsets from different sites and preserves the privacy for each site.

An improvement to a Steganography method for hiding data using Gray Level Images is proposed in this paper. The method is an improvement over earlier method named Least Significant Bit (LSB).

The idea here, deals with images in different sizes and extensions (BMP, JPG, PNG) for obtaining better results and more efficient than its original one (LSB). The selection of pixel locations is done by using the pseudo random number generator, Which is uses the same key for insertion as well as retrieval of process. The experiments show the Superiority of the new idea through using the performance measures (PSNR, BER, NC).

In this paper, we study the global convergence properties of the new class of preconditioned conjugate gradient descent algorithm, when applied to convex objective non-linear unconstrained optimization functions. We assume that a new inexact line search rule which is similar to the Armijo line-search rule is used. It's an estimation formula to choose a large step-size at each iteration and use the same formula to find the direction search. A new preconditioned conjugate gradient direction search is used to replace the conjugate gradient descent direction of ZIR-algorithm. Numerical results on twenty five well-know test functions with various dimensions show that the new inexact line-search and the new preconditioned conjugate gradient search directions are efficient for solving unconstrained nonlinear optimization problem in many situations.

Due to the fact that most of the application on EZT algorithm were applied on wavelet transformation. In the last ten years, the contourlet transformation shows that its efficiency is higher than the wavelet transformation due to its ability to deal with multidirections instead of the vertical and horizontal directions which are covered by the wavelet transformation. In this paper, the contourlet coefficient is adopted as inputs to the EZT (which normally are a wavelet coefficient ). Arranging the contourlet coefficient to be studied as input to EZT, the result of adopting modified contourlet coefficient was studied on two parameters (the file size and threshold value ) and tested by evaluating two factors (correlation and MSE). Comparing the result which we get it with the wavelet technique shows that the contourlet gives a result closer, to the original one depending on the correlation factor plus the PSNR factor. So, the proposed technique can be achieved.

In this work, a new method is implemented for removing noise from gray scale image that depends on two-dimensional discrete wavelet transform and Threshold stage (hard threshold). This paper represents the algorithm to remove the speckle noise by using logarithm operation. This operation changes the multiplicative noise to additive noise. So that, the removing operation becomes easier. The Matlab program is used to build the Algorithm and measure the PSNR and other measurement criteria as (NMV, NV, NSD, ENL and PSNR) to study the effect of removing noise from corrupted image. The PSNR reaches to 24dB which is very satisfactory result in the reconstructed image, while the maximum value of ENL is 2.23 * 106, and the minimum value of NMV, NV, NSD which is equal to 6.79, 2.67*10-5, 46* 10-4 respectively gives a smoother and cleaner image. The universal Threshold is applied in high frequency coefficient (i.e. the LH, HL, and HH-sub band of image) to remove the speckle noise and the low frequency coefficient (LL-sub band of image) is still without any change.

The design of such VLAN switches looks like the design of Look-Up tables to facilitate routing (similar to those used in CISCO networks). In this paper, an analytical model for such VLANs is proposed and then compared with single VLAN switch from the point of view of validity and speed characteristics.

Detecting circles is very important in the application of image processing especially in determining the object locations. In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed for circle detection, called Point Search Circle Detection (PSCD), which detects points and assumes them as inspection points on the circle circumference by using them to create a virtual circle to match it with the original image. Using matching operation leads to reduce computational operations and reduce the complexity and the running time of the algorithm. The proposed algorithm is highly accurate, has high speed and low storage requirements in comparing with other related algorithms. The proposed algorithm can precisely detect circles with various scales, crossed and nested circles in the binary images. The proposed algorithm was compared with Hough Transform (HT) method for circle detection by using many images with different numbers and radius of circles and different image dimensions. The proposed algorithm was more efficient, where the average ratio of the running time for the proposed algorithm to HT method was 1:646, and the accuracy of the proposed algorithm was 100% for circles detection. Both the proposed and HT algorithms are applied by using Matlab 7.2 language, PC equipment with 1.8MHz Pentium IV processor and 512MB RAM.

The measures (MSE, SNR, PSNR) were used to compare between the color space models, the comparisons proved that steganography with color systems (RGB and HIS) shown a best results.

In last years, Steganography techniques involving audio file formats appear to be increasing in popularity. This may be attributed to the fact that current steganalysis tools available to the general public fall short when applied to audio files.

The second minimized the generation constraint of Boltzmann Distribution by using the genetic algorithm. Matlab (7.0) has been used in writing the programs of algorithms and achieved the following results: The maximum value for the likelihood estimator for Boltzmann Distribution appear at the value -4.1614 where the value of θ is 0.1457, and the minimum value for the Constraint Generation for Boltzmann Distribution appear at the value 0.951039101*17 where the value of θ is -4.4066.
