KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

Ton Kalker received both his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in mathematics from the University of Leiden, The Netherlands, in 1979 and

1983, respectively. He has made significant contributions to the field of media security, in particular digital watermarking, robust

media identification and interoperability of Digital Rights Managements systems. His research in this growing field started in 1996,

submitting and participating in the standardization of video watermarking for DVD copy protection. His solution was accepted as

the core technology for the proposed DVD copy protection standard and earned him the title of Fellow of the IEEE (2002). His sub-

sequent research focused on robust media identification, where he laid the foundation of the Content Identification business unit of

Philips Electronics (currently Civolution), successful in commercializing watermarking and other identification technologies. Dr.

Kalker is co-author on 40+ granted patents and 40+ patent applications.

Dr. Kalker is currently VP of Security and DRM at DTS. Prior to that he was VP of Technology for the Innovation Center of

Huawei in Santa Clara, responsible for driving the media research program, focusing on real-time communication, media technolo-

gies for future Internet architectures, and HMI. Prior to Huawei, as a Distinguished Technologist at Hewlett-Packard Labs, he fo-

cused his research on the problem of non-interoperability of DRM systems. He was one of the three lead architects of Coral, publishing a standard framework

for DRM interoperability in the summer of 2007. Subsequently, he co-chaired the Technical Working Group of DECE (http://www.decellc.com), publicly

known as UltraViolet (http://www.uvvu.com). He also actively participates in the academic community.

Dr. Kalker is Co-Founder, IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics (2005); Co-Founder and Chair, Information Forensics and Security Technical Com-

mittee (2006-2007); Guest Editor, IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing Supplement on Secure Media; Associate Editor, IEEE Transactions on Informa-

tion Forensics and Security (2005-Present); Associate Editor, IEEE Transactions on Multimedia (2004-2005) (2011-Present); Associate Editor, IEEE Trans-

actions on Image Processing (2011-Present); Associate Editor, IEEE Signal Processing Letters (2003-2004); Associate Member, Information Forensics and

Security Technical Committee; Member, Image and Multidimensional Signal Processing Technical Committee (2000-2005); Member, Image, Video, and

Multidimensional Signal Processing Technical Committee (2011-Present); Member, Signal Processing Fellow Evaluation Committee (2009-2011); Technical

Program Chair, the first Workshop on Information Forensics and Security (WIFS-09 in London); Tutorial Co-Chair, ICME (2010); and Tutorial Co-Chair,

ICIP (2011). Dr Kalker was part-time faculty at the University of Eindhoven, the Netherlands (1998-2004).

Dr. Kalker has worked on a wide variety of topics related to media security, carefully balancing theoretical and practical aspects. Of particular importance are

Ton's contributions on the following: real-time video watermarking technologies on constrained platforms for active copyright enforcement; assessing the

security of watermarking technologies, including secure watermark detection; watermarking for traitor tracing and forensics; secure signal processing

(processing in the encrypted domain); limits and methods for reversible watermarking; robust hashing of audio, with an emphasis on efficient search strate-

gies; semantic compression (compressed representations that maintain semantic significance); secure biometrics; interoperability of Digital Rights Manage-

ment, based upon his work in Coral and DECE.

Abstract: The Status of Digital Watermarking

Digital Rights Management (DRM) refers to a set of technologies and systems with the aim of controlling access to and use of (valuable) digi-

tal content. The perceived overarching reason for the deployment of DRM is to 'restore' the pecuniary feedback from content consumers to

content creators & owners.

Traditional DRM technologies require cryptographic wrappers as a core component. In the mid-nineties however, awareness arose that cryp-

tographic wrappers cannot be relied upon in the whole of the content creation to content consumption chain: human perception requires plain-

text content representation. Thus arose the interest in media technologies that allow content management tools that do not rely on wrappers.

Digital watermarking and robust identification are the two main representatives in this class of techniques.

In this talk we will sketch the state-of-the-art of digital watermarking, preceded by an historical overview. In particular we will show how

digital watermarking has evolved from hiding logos in images to a method for robustly transmitting information hidden in a chosen host ob-

ject. We will address the basic performance parameters, with particular emphasis on watermark security. In passing we will also shortly men-

tion reversible watermarking, data hiding and the relation with robust recognition. Finally, we will highlight the strengths and the weaknesses

of digital watermarking in the context of DRM.

awards for his achievement from international institutions. He has more than 130 publications in international journals

and proceeding and author of few international books.

Abstract: Cardiovascular disease is the first common cause of death in human worldwide. Unhealthy life style is believed as the main cause

of this disease. In order to detect, diagnose, treat and monitor this disease, cardiac imaging is required. Technologies in cardiac imaging have

been explored since more than one hundred years. This includes the using of X-Ray in the beginning and combination of some modalities in

the recent years. The objective of the exploring technologies is to visualize anatomical and physiological structure of heart in the very high

image quality, very low or no radiation, and real time or very high speed imaging.

In this lecture, the different modalities of cardiac imaging will be discussed. This includes the use of electromagnetic and acoustics waves.

Some clinical examples of cardiac abnormalities images in different modalities will be also explained. State of the art of the imaging tech-

nologies including molecular imaging, multimodalities imaging and three dimensional imaging will be also highlighted. The technologies

include image reconstruction technology, image processing technology as well as image visualization and analysis technology. It is expected,

by end of the discussion, the potential research field and methodology in the area of cardiac imaging can be well understood.

neering. Graduated from NED engineering university, Karachi (1982). Worked in Pakistan International Airline for

seven years as a project engineer on the development of guidance and control systems and was responsible for integra-

tion and testing of flight by wire systems. Completed his MS from university of Miami USA (1989) and PhD from

university of Nottingham UK (1993). From 1994-2000 worked in Pakistan Navy engineering college –NUST and had

undertaken research projects pertaining to submarine acoustic detection. Since 2001, is working in Universiti Tenaga

Nasional and has completed various industrial and DSP research projects. Field of interest: Mechatronics system, Real

time fuzzy control, nonlinear control systems. http://metalab.uniten.edu.my/~farrukh/mywebpage

Abstract: This talk addresses some common issues faced by beginners who like to use DSP for real-time applications. The strengths and

weaknesses of the DSP and the programmers would be discussed here alongside with DSP application and development tools. DSP applica-

tion in the fields of signal processing, control engineering and mechatronics will be narrated for the benefit of the audience. Supporting simu-

lations in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment would be demonstrated for the DSP application.
