Concerning the problem that the transmission and storage of massive redundant image data in Internet of Things (IoT) lead to high resource consumption and potential privacy leakage, a Deep Compressive Sensing (DCS) network for IoT images and its chaotic encryption protection method were proposed. Firstly, an improved DCS network was proposed to achieve high-quality image compression and reconstruction. In this network, residual blocks in conventional deep reconstruction network were modified using a channel attention mechanism, and a parallel fusion design integrating multi-scale branches and a fusion module was adopted, thereby improving the reconstruction performance of traditional deep reconstruction network based on residual stacking in convolutional layers. Secondly, a multi-cavity chaotic system was proposed to realize spherical cavity expansion in the X, Y, or Z direction — either in one direction or both directions — through spherical coordinate transformation and two sets of parity-controlled step functions. This system has chaotic properties and randomness, making it suitable for image encryption. Finally, based on the proposed DCS network and the multi-cavity chaotic system, encryption and decryption for DCS measured images was designed using chaotic index scrambling and diffusion, and detailed security analysis was conducted, thereby guaranteeing the security of image transmission. Experimental results show that compared with the classical DCS method CSNet+, the proposed network achieves an average increase of 0.606 dB (0.25-1.42 dB) in Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and an average 1.11 percentage point (0.69-2.17 percentage point) improvement in Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM).
In order to strengthen anti-interference and anti-interception performance of chaotic system in communication link, and improve complexity of chaotic system behavior, based on typical Chua’s circuit and step function, a new type of grid multi-scroll chaotic system family with controllable quantity was constructed. First, two sets of step functions were used as nonlinear controllers of the system, which respectively controlled the numbers of the odd and even columns and the arranging rows for the grid multi-scroll chaotic attractors, and kept the scrolls and bonds in chaotic attractors being interleaved with each other. As a result, the arbitrary number of odd and even columns for the grid multi-scroll were realized. Then, the dynamic properties of system such as equilibrium point, Lyapunov exponent and attractor were theoretically analyzed and numerically simulated. Finally, the hardware experiment results of up to 4 rows and 12 columns of grid multi-scroll were given by Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Hardware and software experimental results are in full agreement with theoretical analysis results, which furtherly proves the proposed system’s physical realizability.
Geometric transforms of the object in the imaging process can be represented by affine transform in most situations. Therefore, a method for shape matching using corners was proposed. Firstly, the corner of contour using Multi-scale Product Laplacian of Gaussian (MPLoG) operator was detected, and the feature points based on corner interval were adaptively extracted to obtain the key feature of shape. In order to cope with affine transform, the similarity of two shapes on Grassmann manifold Gr(2,n) were represented and measured. Finally, the iterative sequence shift matching was adopted for overcoming the dependency of Grassmann manifold on the starting point, and achieving shape matching. The proposed algorithm was tested on the database of shapes. The simulation results show that the proposed method can achieve shape recognition and retrieval effectively, and it has strong robustness against noise.
