Bin Hu, Zhi‐Hong Guan, Naixue N. Xiong, Han‐Chieh Chao · IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics · 2018
Inspired by security applications in the industrial Internet of things, this paper focuses on the usage of impulsive neural network (NN) synchronization technique for intelligent image protection against illegal swiping and abuse. A class of nonlinear interconnected NNs with transmission delay and random impulse effect is first formulated and analyzed in this paper. In order to make network protocols more flexible, a randomized broadcast impulsive coupling scheme is integrated into the protocol design. Impulsive synchronization criteria are then derived for the chaotic NNs in the presence of nonlinear protocol and random broadcast impulse, with the impulse effect discussed. Illustrative examples are provided to verify the developed impulsive synchronization results and to show its potential application in image encryption and decryption.
