Multimedia copyright protection
Internet and its widespread usage for multimedia document distribution put the copyright issue in a complete new setting. Multimedia documents, specifically those installed on a web page, are no longer passive as they typically include active applets. Copyright protection safeguards the intellectual property (IP) of multimedia documents, which are either sold or distributed free of charge. In this Chapter, the basic tools for copyright protection are discussed. First, general concepts and the vocabulary used in copyright protection of multimedia documents are discussed. Later, taxonomy of watermarking and fingerprinting techniques are studied. This part is concluded by a review of the literature dealing with IP security. The main part of the chapter discusses the generic watermarking scheme and illustrates it on three specific examples: collusion-free watermarking, spread spectrum watermarking, and software fingerprinting. Future trends and conclusions close the chapter

A New Pseudo-automatic Outer Lip Contour Extraction Approach Based on RGB Components
Detection and tracking of the lip contour is an important issue in speech reading. While there are solutions for lip tracking once a good contour initialization in the first frame is available, the problem of finding such a good initialization is not yet solved automatically, but done manually. Solutions based on edge detection and tracking have failed when applied on real world mouth images. In this paper we propose a solution to the lip contour detection that minimizes the user interaction. A minimal number of points to be manually marked on the mouth image are required initially as reference points. The method is based on the examination of values of the RGB components of the outer surface of the region enclosed by the outer lip contour. The paper also includes the limitations of the other existing approaches

Islamic architecture and arch
The arch, an essential architectural element since the early civilizations, permitted the construction of lighter walls and vaults, often covering a large span. Visually it was an important decorative feature that was trans-mitted from architectural decoration to other forms of art worldwide. In early Islamic period, Muslims were receiving from many civilizations, which they improved and re-introduced to bring about the Renaissance. Arches appeared in Mesopotamia, Indus, Egyptian, Babylonian, Greek and Assyrian civilizationsbut the Romans applied the technique to a wide range of structures. The Muslims mastered the use and design of the arch, employed for structural and functional purposes, progressively meeting decorative and symbolic pur-poses. Islamic architecture is characterized by arches employed in all types of buildingsmost common uses being in arcades. This paper discusses the process of assimilation and charts how they contributed to other civilizations
