Real-Time Impulse Noise Suppression from Images Using an Efficient Weighted-Average Filtering

Hossein Hosseini, Farzad Hessar, Farokh Marvasti

In this paper, we propose a method for real-time high density impulse noise suppression from images. In our method, we first apply an impulse detector to identify the corrupted pixels and then employ an innovative weighted-average filter to restore them. The filter takes the nearest neighboring interpolated image as the initial image and computes the weights according to the relative positions of the corrupted and uncorrupted pixels. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the best existing methods in both PSNR measure and visual quality and is quite suitable for real-time applications.

A GOST-like Blind Signature Scheme Based on Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem

Hossein Hosseini, Behnam Bahrak, Farzad Hessar

In this paper, we propose a blind signature scheme and three practical educed schemes based on elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem. The proposed schemes impart the GOST signature structure and utilize the inherent advantage of elliptic curve cryptosystems in terms of smaller key size and lower computational overhead to its counterpart public key cryptosystems such as RSA and ElGamal. The proposed schemes are proved to be secure and have less time complexity in comparison with the existing schemes.
