Transform-domain audio watermarking systems are more robust than time-domain systems. However, the main weakness of these systems is their high computational cost, especially for long-duration audio signals. Therefore, they are not desirable for real-time security applications where speed is a critical factor.

The proposed methods are essentially based on two concepts: the development of a recursive calculation of the initial terms of Hahn polynomials in order to avoid the problems of instability of polynomial values and the use of ABC algorithm to optimize the values of the parameters and of the discrete orthogonal Hahn polynomials () during the reconstruction and the compression of bio-signals and color images. The simulation results performed on bio-signals and on large size / color images clearly show the efficiency and superiority of the proposed methods over conventional methods in terms of reconstruction of signals and images.

These improvements ensure the numerical stability of DHMIs for large-size images. Then, we propose an efficient method for optimizing the local parameters of dual Hahn polynomials (DHPs) when computing DHMIs using the Sine-Cosine Algorithm (SCA).

On the other hand, a new method for the fast and numerically stable computation of Hahn moment invariants (HMIs) is also proposed. This method is mainly based on the use of new recursive relations of HPs and of matrix multiplications when calculating HMIs.
