In this paper, we use two Fractional-Order Chaotic Systems (FOCS)—one for the sender and one for the receiver—to determine the optimal synchronisation for a secure communication technique. With the help of the Step-By-Step Sliding-Mode Observer (SBS-SMO), this synchronisation is accomplished. An innovative optimisation method, known as the artificial Harris hawks optimisation (HHO), was employed to enhance the observer's performance. This method eliminates the random parameter selection process and instead selects the optimal values for the observer. In a short amount of time, the secret message that could have been in the receiver portion (signal, voice, etc.) was successfully recovered using the proposed scheme. The experimental validation of the numerical results was carried out with the assistance of an Arduino microcontroller and several electronic components. In addition, the findings of the experiments were compared with the theoretical calculations, revealing a satisfactory level of agreement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper proposes an operating approach based on the anisotropic diffusion method to restore and denoise Satellite Remote Sensing Images (SRSIs). The contents of the approach are the motion by mean curvature to detect the noise direction for each degraded pixel and preserve the original edges of the image, and the gradient in the Gaussian kernel which restores the degraded pixel locally, assuring the estimation of its original value and saving the contrast of the image. The algorithm, concluded by our proposed system, treats noised SRSIs regardless of noise type, so better restoration is achieved. Experiments of the proposed system and of other approaches were conducted in MATLAB in order to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach and its performance was confirmed through evaluation with PSNR and SSIM.

The aim of this work is to find a new criterion for determining a range of values in order to determine the gender of a speaker. The use of the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) of the Daubechies db7 parent wavelet and the computation of the zero crossing energy from the first level of the DWT was followed by computation of the values of the criterion for both genders and comparison with the value of the speech basic frequency for both genders for the same sign or sentence. The standard has a limited range of values close to the basic frequency range of the same speaker through which we can determine gender. This criterion has been tested on several men and women databases with different repeated sentences for the same person or for both genders and it gives acceptable results that can be worked on.
