Nirwan Ansari, of
Montville and New Jersey Institute of Technology
inventor, along with co-inventors Yun-Qing Shi and
Zhicheng Ni were honored for their roles in
inventing "System and Method for Robust Reversible
Data Hiding and Data Recovery in the Spatial
Domain."
Inventors, from left, Yun-Qing Shi,
Nirwan Ansari, of Montville, and
Zhicheng Ni, from the New Jersey
Institute of Technology were recently
awarded the 2010 Thomas Alva Edison
Award.
This innovation is capable of identifying a
robust statistical quantity based on a statistical
analysis of natural images and employing it in data
embedding, differentiating the bit-embedding process
based on the pixel's group's different distribution
characteristics, and using error correction codes
and permutation schemes. The invented scheme can
achieve both reversibility and robustness while not
generating salt and pepper noise on the marked
image, which is unlike its predecessor modulo-256.
More than 30 New Jersey inventors from eight
companies and universities were honored with the
2010 Thomas Alva Edison Patent Award on Nov. 4
during a ceremony and reception at the Liberty
Science Center hosted by the Research and
Development Council of New Jersey.
This coveted honor recognizes the outstanding
work done by New Jersey scientists and their
respective organizations by highlighting the most
exceptional efforts. These awards, along with
individual honors received by Nobel Laureate Dr.
George E. Smith, Governor Tom Kean and Merck
Institute for Science Education's Dr. Carlo
Parravano, were presented in the nation's largest
IMAX Theater where a film paid tribute to the work
of the honorees.
"It is essential to the Council's basic mission
of advancing research and development in New Jersey
to celebrate our inventors' accomplishments," said
Tom Degnan, council chairman and ExxonMobil manager.
"In doing so, we are not only supporting what has
been done, but we are encouraging what remains to be
done."
Also recognized were Stevens Institute of
Technology, BASF Corporation, Alcatel Lucent,
Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Osteotech, Rutgers
University, and ExxonMobil.
The Research & Development Council of New Jersey
is a non-profit organization dedicated to
cultivating an environment that supports the
advancement of research and development throughout
New Jersey. The Council is composed of senior
representatives from industry, academia and
government. Many R&D Council members represent
today's Fortune 500 companies. More information on
