Reinforcement learning-based dynamic field exploration and reconstruction using multi-robot systems for environmental monitoring by Thinh Lu, Divyam Sobti, Deepak Talwar, Wencen Wu

“…This research introduces a strategy for path planning and control of a group of mobile sensing robots to efficiently explore and reconstruct a dynamic field consisting of multiple non-overlapping diffusion sources. Our approach integrates a reinforcement learning-based path planning algorithm to guide the multi-robot formation in identifying diffusion sources, with a clustering-based method for destination selection once a new source is detected, to enhance coverage and accelerate exploration in unknown environments. …”

High capacity reversible hiding in encrypted domain based on cipher-feedback secret sharing by Minqing ZHANG, Chao JIANG, Fuqiang DI, Zongbao JIANG, Xiong ZHANG

“…To improve the security, robustness and embedding rate of reversible hiding in encrypted domain in the distributed environment, a multiple embedding algorithm based on cipher-feedback secret sharing was proposed.Firstly, the additional data were embedded into the polynomial coefficients redundancy generated in the process of secret image sharing.Secondly, the extra secrets were embedded by using the additive homomorphism of secret sharing.Experimental results demonstrate that a better security and robustness has been obtained by improving the diffusion characteristic of secret sharing using the feedback mechanism.In the (3,4) and (3,5) threshold, the embedding rates can reach 6.00 bit per pixel and 4.80 bit per pixel respectively.The proposed algorithm can not only maintain the strong security and separability, but also obtain a better embedding capacity.Meanwhile, the embedding rate of the scheme is not affected by the carrier image and is only related to the selection of algorithm parameters.…”
