privacy protection in video surveillance. We introduce two efficient approaches to conceal regions of interest (ROIs) based on transform-domain or codestream-domain scrambling. In the first technique‚ the sign of selected transform coefficients is pseudorandomly flipped during encoding. In the second method‚ some bits of the codestream are pseudorandomly inverted. We address more specifically the cases of MPEG-4 as it is today the prevailing standard in video surveillance equipment. Simulations show that

DISADVANATGES: 1. Dams are extremely expensive to build and must be built to a very high standard. 2. The high cost of dam construction means that they must operate for many decades to become profitable. 3. The flooding of large areas of land means that the natural environment is destroyed. 4. People living in villages and towns that are in the valley to be flooded‚ must move out. This means that they lose their farms and businesses. In some countries‚ people are forcibly removed so that

A new study shows that children who spend more time watching television spend less time interacting with their family and playing creatively. Children watch television more than any other activity. Researchers from University of Texas at Austin and Harvard Children’s Hospital wanted to understand whether and how this affects children’s health and behavior. Dr. Elizabeth Vandewater and her colleagues surveyed 2‚900 children ages 12 and under around the United States and analyzed all of the children’s

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) belongs the genus Cicer‚ tribe Cicereae‚ sub-family Papilionaceae and family Leguminoseae. The genus Cicer encompasses 43 species. Among them nine are annuals‚ 33 are perennial and one with unspecified life cycle. Of the 9 annual species‚ Cicer arietinum L. is the only cultivated species. Based on the morphological characteristics‚ life cycle and geographical distribution‚ Van der Maesen (1987) classified the Cicer genus into four sections. Eight annual species‚ namely

This means that the individual will always be able to identify the physical manifestation from which they are monitored from‚ but never know the exact moment
