Hiding data in digital images is a promising direction in data protection and is an alternative to cryptographic methods. Steganography algorithms create covert communication channels and protect the confidentiality of messages embedded in cover images. Watermarking algorithms embed invisible marks in images for further image authentication and proof of the authorship. The main difficulty in the development of data hiding schemes is to achieve a balance between indicators of embedding quality, including imperceptibility, capacity, and robustness. An effective approach to solving this problem is the use of metaheuristic optimization algorithms, such as genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimization, artificial bee colony, and others. In this paper, we present an overview of data hiding techniques based on metaheuristic optimization. We review and analyze image steganography and image watermarking schemes over the past 6 years. We propose three levels of research classification: embedding purpose level, optimization purpose level, and level of metaheuristics. The results demonstrate the high relevance of using metaheuristic optimization in the development of new data hiding algorithms. Based on the results of the review, we formulate the main problems of this scientific field and suggest promising areas for further research.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8449,"journal":{"name":"Artificial Intelligence Review","volume":"56 12","pages":"15375 - 15447"},"PeriodicalIF":12.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47174257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, the practice of image-reconstruction instruments that utilise ionising radiation significantly impacts the patient’s health. Prolonged or frequent exposure to ionising radiation is linked to several illnesses like cancer. These factors urged the advancement of non-invasive approaches, for instance, Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT), a portable, non-invasive, low-cost, and safe imaging method. EIT image reconstruction still demands more exploitation, as it is an inverse and ill-conditioned problem. Numerous numerical techniques are used to answer this problem without producing anatomically unpredictable outcomes. Evolutionary Computational techniques can substitute conventional methods that usually create low-resolution blurry images. EIT reconstruction techniques optimise the relative error of reconstruction using population-based optimisation methods presented in this work. Three advanced optimisation methods have been developed to facilitate the iterative procedure for avoiding anatomically erratic solutions. Three different optimising techniques, namely, (a) Advanced Particle Swarm Optimisation Algorithm, (b) Advanced Gravitational Search Algorithm, and (c) Hybrid Gravitational Search Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm (HGSPSO), are used. By utilising the advantages of these proposed techniques, the convergence and solution stability performance is improved. EIT images were obtained from the EIDORS library database for two case studies. The image reconstruction was optimised using the three proposed algorithms. EIDORS library was used for generating and solving forward and reverse problems. Two case studies were undertaken, i.e. circular tank simulation and gastric emptying. Thus, the results are analysed and presented as a real-world application of population-based optimisation methods. Results obtained from the proposed methods are quantitatively assessed with ground truth images using the relative mean squared error, confirming that a low error value is reached in the results. The HGSPSO algorithm performs better than the other proposed methods regarding solution quality and stability.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8449,"journal":{"name":"Artificial Intelligence Review","volume":"56 12","pages":"15079 - 15099"},"PeriodicalIF":12.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46200787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence in this paper, Artificial Intelligence based Effective Data Interpretation Approach (AI-EDIA) has been proposed to improve the underwater wireless sensor network communication and less computational Time in IoT platform. The proposed AI-EIDA utilizes the discrete cosine transform (DCT) with frequency modulation multiplexing (FMM) for underwater acoustic communication. Underwater acoustic channels are categorized as double Time and frequency distribution channels. Therefore, the reverse DCT structure provides the orthogonal characteristic of the traditional FMM with the additional advantages of reduced execution and improved speed when the actual calculations are needed.
