In terms of data-hiding areas, video steganography is more advantageous compared to other steganography techniques since it uses video as its cover medium. For any video steganography, the good trade-off among robustness, imperceptibility, and payload must be created and maintained. Even though it has the advantage of capacity, video steganography has the robustness problem especially regarding spatial domain is used to implement it. Transformation operations and statistical attacks can harm secret data. Thus, the ideal video steganography technique must provide high imperceptibility, high payload, and resistance towards visual, statistical and transformation-based steganalysis attacks. Methods. One of the most common spatial methods for hiding data within the cover medium is the Least Significant Bit (LSB) method. In this study, an LSB-based video steganography application that uses a poly-pattern key block matrix (KBM) as the key was proposed. The key is a 64 × 64 pixel block matrix that consists of 16 subpattern blocks with a pixel size of 16 × 16. To increase the security of the proposed approach, sub-patterns in the KBM are allowed to shift in four directions and rotate up to 270 • depending on the user preference and logical operations. For additional security XOR and AND logical operations were used to determine whether to choose the next predetermined 64 × 64 pixel block or jump to another pixel block in the cover video frame to place a KBM to embed the secret data. The fact that the combination of variable KBM structure and logical operator for the secret data embedding distinguishes the proposed algorithm from previous video steganography studies conducted with LSB-based approaches. Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) parameters were calculated for the detection of the imperceptibility (or the resistance against visual attacks ) of the proposed algorithm. The proposed algorithm obtained the best MSE, SSIM and PSNR parameter values based on the secret message length as 0.00066, 0.99999, 80.01458 dB for 42.8 Kb of secret message and 0.00173, 0.99999, 75.72723 dB for 109 Kb of secret message, respectively. These results are better than the results of classic LSB and the studies conducted with LSB-based video steganography approaches in the literature. Since the proposed system allows an equal amount of data embedding in each video frame the data loss will be less in transformation operations. The lost data can be easily obtained from the entire text with natural language processing. The variable structure of the KBM, logical operators and extra security preventions makes the proposed system be more secure and complex. This increases the unpredictability and resistance against statistical attacks. How to cite this article Hacimurtazaoglu M, Tutuncu K. 2022.

Mean Square Error (MSE), Structure Similarity Index Measurement (SSIM), and Peak Signal Noise Ratio (PSNR) quality metrics were used to evaluate the results of the proposed approach. 4x4, 8x8, and 16x16 pixel DCT blocks were used for testing and evaluation. Each DCT block was used with the proposed KBM that can be created by artificial intelligence techniques and secure data hiding methods. The fact that the KBM structures used in the proposed methods are variable increases data security in the proposed algorithms and fills the gap of security issues in the video steganography. The quality metric values obtained showed that the proposed approach can compete with the results obtained in the literature regarding PSNR, MSE, and SSIM values.

A rule based expert system is designed for early diagnosis of measles disease. Simplified rules were used to determine the base of rules. In order to simplify the rules, Boolean simplifying method was used. Front diagnosis plays an effective role in determining and therapy. Front diagnosis gives an easy position to the doctors during the therapy and diagnosis. With an expert system that will be applied as an example before the patient does not come to the doctor, a test will be applied and front information will be taken from the patient. In this study, a logic system was developed to diagnose the measles and diseases showing symptoms similar to the measles.
