COVID-19 poses a major risk to global health, highlighting the importance of faster and proper diagnosis. To handle the rise in the number of patients and eliminate redundant tests, healthcare information exchange and medical data are transmitted between healthcare centres. Medical data sharing helps speed up patient treatment; consequently, exchanging healthcare data is the requirement of the present era. Since healthcare professionals share data through the internet, security remains a critical challenge, which needs to be addressed. During the COVID-19 pandemic, computed tomography (CT) and X-ray images play a vital part in the diagnosis process, constituting information that needs to be shared among hospitals. Encryption and image steganography techniques can be employed to achieve secure data transmission of COVID-19 images. This study presents a new encryption with the image steganography model for secure data transmission (EIS-SDT) for COVID-19 diagnosis. The EIS-SDT model uses a multilevel discrete wavelet transform for image decomposition and Manta Ray Foraging Optimization algorithm for optimal pixel selection. The EIS-SDT method uses a double logistic chaotic map (DLCM) is employed for secret image encryption. The application of the DLCM-based encryption procedure provides an additional level of security to the image steganography technique. An extensive simulation results analysis ensures the effective performance of the EIS-SDT model and the results are investigated under several evaluation parameters. The outcome indicates that the EIS-SDT model has outperformed the existing methods considerably.

영상의 점진적 전송 방식은 데이터의 전송이 진행되는 동안 수신측에서 낮은 해상도의 영상에서부터 점진적으로 더 높은 해상도의 영상으로 해상도를 향상시켜나가는 방법이다. 이것은 데이터 전송의 초기에 영상의 가치를 판단하여 나머지 부분의 전송을 진행하거나 취소할 수 있어 제한된 전송 대역을 효과적으로 이용할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 효율적인 영상의 점진적 전송을 실현하기 위하여 영상을 비트플래인으로 분리한 후 각 플래인을 상보 쿼드트리 구조로 재구성하였다. 그리고 상보 쿼드트리의 각 레벨과 각 비트플래인의 데이터를 적절한 순서로 전송하여 전송의 초기에 보다 적은 데이터로 영상의 내용을 대체적으로 파악할 수 있도록 하였다.

In this paper, the performance of DS/CDMA-BPSK system for image transmission is simulated by computer, and received image is compared with the origin image. In order to transmit standard image 'Lena', the image is discrete-cosine- transformed and quantized. Then image transmission data is made through assigning 8 bits to the image and high frequency data part of the image is compressed for reducing the size of data. The source-coded image is transmitted and received by the DS/CDMA-BPSK system. The BER, PSNR, and source Quality are changed according to the number of multiple access users, processing gain of the system, and SMR.

독자기술에 의한 소형위성 개발이라는 목표아래 지난 4년 반에 걸쳐서 개발된 우리별 3호가 성공적으로 발사되었다. 초기운용 기간동안 위성의 각 서브시스템에 대한 시험이 있었으며 모든 서브시스템에 대한 시험이 있었으며 모든 서브시스템이 설계된 바와 같이 정상적으로 동작함을 검증할 수 있었다. 이 기간동안 우리별 3호에 탑재된 카메라가 수십회 지구를 촬영하여 그 데이터를 지상으로 송신하고 수신된 영상데이터를 분석하여 카메라 및 송수신 시스템의 성능을 분석할 수 있었다. 본 논문에서는 우리별 3호의 다대역 지구관측 센서 영상의 촬영, 데이터 송신, 수신 및 저장시스템을 소개하고 위성 초기운용 시 시험했던 영상데이터 송수신 시스템의 성능을 기술한다. 수신시스템은 개발 시 주어졌던 1% 미만의 전송에러를 만족하였으며 앞으로 지속적인 시스템 시험 및 안정화를 통해서 이러한 수신시스템의 에러율은 최소화 될 것이다.

In the Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) system channel, a large number of bit errors occur because of Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and fading. When an image data is transmitted under the condition, reconstructed image quality is significantly degraded. In this paper, as an alternative to the error correcting code and/or automatic repeat request scheme, we propose an error recovery scheme for image data transmission. We first analyze how transmission errors in the DSRC system channel degrade image quality. Then, in order to improve image quality, we propose error resilient and concealment schemes for still image transmission using DCT-based fixed length coding, hamming code, cyclic redundancy check, and interleaver. Finally, we show its performance by an experiment.

Data Security is the most challenging area in Internet communication, where most of the secret sharing schemes are proposed for binary images. But still it lacks in providing security for data communication, especially in image transmission. Traditional visual cryptography scheme generate meaningless diwies and the reconstruction phase leads to quality degradation over the secret image. In this work, an intelligent two dimensional secret share construction scheme is proposed. A secret image is expanded into n diwies with the choice of scheme selection. By Stacking all the qualified diwies to revert the secret image without content loss and less than s^* - 1 shares could not reveal any information about the secret image. The experimental results emphasize that the proposed secret share scheme is highly secured for image transmission.

In this paper, an implementation method of the efficient image transmission stage using watermarking and channel ceding is proposed. Usually, image communication system consists of both a transmitter part and a receiver part. The transmitter part takes charge of copyright protection of the generated image data, and image coding and compression that can deal with channel noises when transmitting. In the transmitter part, we propose a channel coding method which protects both the watermark signal and the original signal for protecting the copyright of image data and solving channel noises when transmitting. Firstly, copyright protection of image data is conducted. For this, image structure analysis is performed, and both the improvement of image quality and the generation of the watermark signal are made. Then, the histogram is constructed and the watermark signals are selected from this. At this stage, by embedding of the coefficients of curve fittness into the lower 4 bits of the image data pixels, image quality degradation due to the embedding of watermark signals are prevented. Finally, turbo coding, which has the most efficient error correction capability in error correction codes, has been conducted to protect signals of watermark and preserved original image quality against noises on the transmission channel. Particularly, a new interleaving method named "semi random inter]easer" has been proposed.

미래전은 Sensor-to-Shooter 개념에 기반한 네트워크 중심전(NCW : Network Centric Warfare) 양상을 지닌다. 이러한 NCW의 핵심적인 요소들 중 하나로 무선 비디오 센서 네트워킹 기술이 군 감시정찰용으로 활발히 적용되고 있다. 감시정찰 센서 네트워크에서는 침입탐지 및 추적정보의 신뢰성 향상을 위하여 이미지 센서가 결합된 복합 센서가 사용되고 있으나 대용량의 네트워크 자원 및 에너지 소비를 요구하는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 자원 예약을 통한 이미지 데이터 전송 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 네트워크 자원가용성을 고려하여 이미지 데이터 해상도 및 압축률 조정을 시도하는 동시에 다중 인터페이스의 적절한 선택을 통하여 안정적인 이미지 데이터 전송을 가능토록 한다. NS-3 시뮬레이션 기반의 성능분석을 통해서 제안기법의 전송 안정성 및 에너지 효율성의 증가를 확인하였다.

In this paper, we propose a prgressive image transmission technique using hierarchical pyramid data structure which is constructed based on the projection data of an image. To construct hierarchical Gaussian pyramids, we first divide an image into 4$\times$4 subblocks and generate the projection data of each block along the horizontal, vertical, diagonal, and antidiagonal directions. Among images reconstructed by backprojecting the projection data along a single direction, the one giving the minimum distortion is selected. The Gaussian pyramid is recursively generated by the proposed algorithm and the proposed Gaussian images are shown to preserve edge information well. Also, based on the projection concept a new transmission scheme of the lowest Laplacian plane is presented. Computer simulation shows that the quantitative performance of the proposed pyramid coding technique using projection concept is similar to those of the conventional methods with transmission rate reduced by 0.1 ~ 0.2 bpp and its subjective performance is shown to be better due to the edge preserving property of a projection operation.
