Abstract: An encryption and signature device for AI model protection is provided. The encryption and signature device for AI model protection includes a key derivation unit, a model encryption unit, a model password encryption unit, an image generation unit and a signature unit. The key derivation unit is configured to derive a model key according to a model password and a derivation function. The model encryption unit is configured to encrypt an AI model according to the model key to generate an encrypted AI model. The model password encryption unit is configured to encrypt the model password to generate an encrypted model password. The image generation unit is configured to generate an image file according to the encrypted model password and the encrypted AI model. The signature unit is configured to sign the image file according to a private key to obtain a signed image file.

Abstract: An image processing method includes: (a) receiving a to-be-processed image; (b) obtaining a target brightness of the to-be-processed image; (c) creating a histogram curve of the to-be-processed image; (d) clipping the histogram curve according to a clipping value; (e) obtaining a mapping function of the clipped histogram curve; (f) obtaining a mapped image mapped according to the mapping function; (g) obtaining an average brightness of the mapped image; (h) obtaining a difference between the target brightness and the average brightness; and (i) if the difference is greater than a threshold, adjusting the clipping value and repeating steps (d) to (i) until the difference is less than the threshold. Thus, if the to-be-processed image does not reach the target brightness, the image processing device automatically repeats steps (c) to (i) until the to-be-processed image reaches the target brightness.

Abstract: A transmitter is provided. the transmitter includes a hybrid feedback circuit and a hybrid driving circuit. The hybrid feedback circuit compares a reference voltage with a feedback voltage in closed-loop, determines whether to perform polarity reversal according to a mode control signal, controls power output according to a comparison result and the mode control signal, and generates a first output signal. The hybrid driving circuit, coupled to the hybrid feedback circuit, receives the first output signal of the hybrid feedback circuit, generates a transmitter output signal according to an input data, and generates a second output signal according to the transmitter output signal. The first output signal and the second output signal are transmitted back to the hybrid feedback circuit.
