Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods to encrypt an image for secure image transmission and parallel decryption using resources from a networked environment. Upon reception of encrypted data from the mobile user, the data can be decrypted by transforming the data, decrypting the transformed data, and inversing the transformation. The decrypted data can be sent for storage in a cloud storage.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cascade thresholding system to find an optimal threshold for binarization of a gray scale image. The cascade system can perform different levels of quantization on an input image. The cascade system can process each quantized image across multiple threshold levels. SSIM scores can be calculated for the quantized images to determine a best image for binarization. A best binary image can be generated.
