Digital Image Scrambling Degree Evaluation Method Based on Cross-entropy[J]. Journal of Image and Graphics, 2007, 12(6): 997. DOI: 10.11834/jig.20070607.
By unifying the cross-entropy and the image optimal block processing
a digital image scrambling degree evaluation method based on block cross-entropy is proposed. To reflect the image scrambling effect by image cross-entropy
the scramble transformations with periods are simulated. The results show that: the proposed method is effective to describe the relationship between the enciphering effect and the number of iterations in the enciphering techniques
which largely consists with human vision. For different images
when some transformation is used
this appraisal method can reflect to some extent the scrambling effects in each encryption stage.
