Abstract-Linear network coding is a promising technology that can maximize the throughput capacity of communication network. Despite this salient feature, there are still many challenges to be addressed, and security is clearly one of the most important challenges. In this paper, we will address the design of secure linear network coding. Specifically, we will investigate the network coding design that can both satisfy the weakly secure requirements and maximize the transmission data rate of multiple unicast streams between the same source and destination pair, which has not been addressed in the literature. In our study, we first prove that the secure unicast routing problem is equivalent to a constrained link-disjoint path problem. We then develop efficient algorithm that can find the optimal unicast topology in a polynomial amount of time. Based on the topology, we design deterministic linear network code that is weakly secure and can be constructed at the source node. And finally, we investigate the potential of random linear code for weakly secure unicast and prove the low bound of the probability that a random linear code is weakly secure.
Abstract:We propose a practical Convolution Neural Network (CNN) model termed the CNN for Semantic Segmentation for driver Assistance system (CSSA). It is a novel semantic segmentation model for probabilistic pixel-wise segmentation, which is able to predict pixel-wise class labels of a given input image. Recently, scene understanding has turned out to be one of the emerging areas of research, and pixel-wise semantic segmentation is a key tool for visual scene understanding. Among future intelligent systems, the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) is one of the most favorite research topic. The CSSA is a road scene understanding CNN that could be a useful constituent of the ADAS toolkit. The proposed CNN network is an encoder-decoder model, which is built on convolutional encoder layers adopted from the Visual Geometry Group's VGG-16 net, whereas the decoder is inspired by segmentation network (SegNet). The proposed architecture mitigates the limitations of the existing methods based on state-of-the-art encoder-decoder design. The encoder performs convolution, while the decoder is responsible for deconvolution and un-pooling/up-sampling to predict pixel-wise class labels. The key idea is to apply the up-sampling decoder network, which maps the low-resolution encoder feature maps. This architecture substantially reduces the number of trainable parameters and reuses the encoder's pooling indices to up-sample to map pixel-wise classification and segmentation. We have experimented with different activation functions, pooling methods, dropout units and architectures to design an efficient CNN architecture. The proposed network offers a significant improvement in performance in segmentation results while reducing the number of trainable parameters. Moreover, there is a considerable improvement in performance in comparison to the benchmark results over PASCAL VOC-12 and the CamVid.
