Abstract Free-space optical (FSO) communication is of supreme importance for designing next-generation networks. Over the past decades, the radio frequency (RF) spectrum has been the main topic of interest for wireless technology. The RF spectrum is becoming denser and more employed, making its availability tough for additional channels. Optical communication, exploited for messages or indications in historical times, is now becoming famous and useful in combination with error-correcting codes (ECC) to mitigate the effects of fading caused by atmospheric turbulence. A free-space communication system (FSCS) in which the hybrid technology is based on FSO and RF.… More >

Abstract Stereolithographic (STL) files have been extensively used in rapid prototyping industries as well as many other fields as watermarking algorithms to secure intellectual property and protect three-dimensional models from theft. However, to the best of our knowledge, few studies have looked at how watermarking can resist attacks that involve vertex-reordering. Here, we present a lossless and robust watermarking scheme for STL files to protect against vertex-reordering attacks. Specifically, we designed a novel error-correcting code (ECC) that can correct the error of any one-bit in a bitstream by inserting several check digits. In addition, ECC is More >
