  • Publication number: 20220108434
    Abstract: A computer-implement method for training a neural network to detect defects is provided. The method comprises encoding, by an encoder, a real image of an object to produce a first compressed image as a first vector in a latent space, wherein the real image is free of defects. A decoder then generates a reconstructed image from the first vector in the latent space, wherein the reconstructed image is a closest non-anomalous reconstruction of the real image. A discriminator compares the real image and the reconstructed image and determines which image is the real image and which image is the reconstructed image. The encoder also encodes the reconstructed image to produce a second compressed image as a second vector in the latent space.

  • Patent number: 11151263
    Abstract: A system or method for encryption of data includes a light source, a random optical element and a light detection element. The light source is arranged to transmit an input data signal to the random optical element. The light source is incident on the random optical element such that the input data signal is randomly scattered by the random optical element to generate an image at on the detector disposed at an output of the random optical element. The image received by the detector is applied to a compressive sensing algorithm to generate a transfer function. The transfer function defines a relationship between the input data signal and the image to enable estimation and reconstruction of the input data signal.
