Large-scale S-box design and analysis of SPS structure by Lan ZHANG, Liangsheng HE, Bin YU

“…A class of optimal linear transformation P over a finite field<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mrow> <msup> <mrow> <mrow><mo>(</mo> <mrow> <msubsup> <mi>F</mi> <mn>2</mn> <mi>m</mi> </msubsup> </mrow> <mo>)</mo></mrow></mrow> <mn>4</mn> </msup> </mrow></math></inline-formula> was constructed based on cyclic shift and XOR operation.Using the idea of inverse proof of input-output relation of linear transformation for reference, a proof method was put forward that transformed the objective problem of optimal linear transformation into several theorems of progressive relation, which not only solved the proof of that kind of optimal linear transformation, but also was suitable for the proof of any linear transformation.By means of small-scale S-box and optimal cyclic shift-XOR linear transformation P, a large-scale S-box model with 2-round SPS structure was established, and a series of lightweight large-scale S-boxes with good cryptographic properties were designed.Only three kind of basic operations such as look-up table, cyclic shift and XOR were used in the proposed design scheme, which improved the linearity and difference uniformity of large-scale S-boxes.Theoretical proof and case analysis show that, compared with the existing large-scale S-box construction methods, the proposed large-scale S-box design scheme has lower computational cost and better cryptographic properties such as difference and linearity, which is suitable for the design of nonlinear permutation coding of lightweight cryptographic algorithms.…”

ES-Net Empowers Forest Disturbance Monitoring: Edge–Semantic Collaborative Network for Canopy Gap Mapping by Yutong Wang, Zhang Zhang, Jisheng Xia, Fei Zhao, Pinliang Dong

“…Canopy gaps are vital microhabitats for forest carbon cycling and species regeneration, whose accurate extraction is crucial for ecological modeling and smart forestry. However, traditional monitoring methods have notable limitations: ground-based measurements are inefficient; remote-sensing interpretation is susceptible to terrain and spectral interference; and traditional algorithms exhibit an insufficient feature representation capability. …”

Design and trial of precision spraying system for weeds in winter wheat field at tillering stage by Bo Li, Peijie Guo, Yu Chen, Jun Chen, Haiying Wang, Jing Zhang, Zhixing Zhang

“…In this study, a precision spraying control method is proposed to reduce the effect of camera frame rate on weed localization failure through three sets of position determination regions, and to address the effect of solenoid valve response frequency on precision spraying by controlling the spray nozzle to continuously spray herbicides on clustered weeds through a velocity-adaptive dynamic overlap region. To improve the accuracy of weed detection, GCGS-YOLO is proposed as a weed target detection model, and we integrate the Global Context (GC) attention mechanism with the traditional C3 module to optimize the backbone feature extraction network, and introduce the GSConv module to improve the neck network. …”
