Abstract The use of the Internet of Things (IoT) is expanding at an unprecedented scale in many critical applications due to the ability to interconnect and utilize a plethora of wide range of devices. In critical infrastructure domains like oil and gas supply, intelligent transportation, power grids, and autonomous agriculture, it is essential to guarantee the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of data collected and exchanged. However, the limited resources coupled with the heterogeneity of IoT devices make it inefficient or sometimes infeasible to achieve secure data transmission using traditional cryptographic techniques. Consequently, designing a lightweight secure More >

Abstract Image Super-Resolution (SR) research has achieved great success with powerful neural networks. The deeper networks with more parameters improve the restoration quality but add the computation complexity, which means more inference time would be cost, hindering image SR from practical usage. Noting the spatial distribution of the objects or things in images, a two-stage local objects SR system is proposed, which consists of two modules, the object detection module and the SR module. Firstly, You Only Look Once (YOLO), which is efficient in generic object detection tasks, is selected to detect the input images for More >
