Abstract

Multi-secret visual sharing schemes are essential for secure and efficient sharing of sensitive visual information. However, existing schemes often overlook important considerations such as varied secret dimensions, contrast enhancement, and computational efficiency. This research addresses these challenges by proposing a comprehensive approach that addresses these limitations. Firstly, the scheme takes into account the varied dimensions of secret images encountered in real-world scenarios, allowing flexibility in sharing and reconstructing images of different sizes and aspect ratios. Secondly, the research integrates contrast enhancement techniques, such as blind super-resolution, to improve the visual quality and visibility of shared secret images affected by factors like noise, compression, or low lighting conditions. Lastly, to enhance the computational efficiency, the scheme leverages the power of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) for parallel computing, enabling faster processing of large-scale image operations. The proposed scheme achieves outstanding results, with a high PSNR of 98.264, a strong NCC value of 0.965, an exceptionally low NAE value of 0.046, and an impressive SSIM value of 0.983. Furthermore, the GPU implementation provides a remarkable overall speedup of 112× for 256×256 color images.
