Secure Elliptic Galois Cryptography Framework for robust real-time vehicle image classification using convolutional...

Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) have experienced an important development in the past decade because of developments in communication, control, and information technology deployed to roads, vehicles, and traffic controller systems. Vehicle form classification plays an essential role in applying ITS owing to its capability for collecting valuable traffic information, providing further development of transport structures, and improving human convenience. Nevertheless, the present service structure implements artificial intelligence (AI) methods with universal patterns for every vehicle. Still, the computational efficiency and needs of deep learning (DL) methods pose difficulties for real-time applications. DL is a useful device for classifying vehicle categories because it can take composite traffic data features and learns from larger data amounts. This manuscript develops a Secure Elliptic Galois Cryptography Framework for Vehicle Image Classification in Intelligent Transportation Systems (SEGCF-VICITS) method. ​The primary aim of the SEGCF-VICITS method is to ensure secure data transmission and intelligent decision-making in ITS environments. Initially, the SEGCF-VICITS model employs the elliptic galois cryptography (EGC) model to provide strong encryption for sensitive vehicular data, utilizing a key that is subsequently used for data decryption. Besides, the SE-DenseNet model is utilized for feature extraction. Additionally, the convolutional sparse autoencoder (CSAE) method is used for vehicle classification. The experimental validation of the SEGCF-VICITS method portrayed a superior accuracy value of 95.48% over existing models under the vehicle image classification dataset.
