Deep-NC: A secure image transmission using deep learning and network coding

作者:

Highlights:

• Integrating network coding with image super resolution can conceal and reduce image file size.

• Eavesdropper cannot recover the original image without knowledge of reference image.

• Per-pixel coding achieves a better quality than per-image coding.

• Per-image coding requires a lower computational complexity with a lower bandwidth.

• Images can be downscaled to a much lower resolution to save the transmission bandwidth.
