Next-generation UOWC enabling high-speed and secure RGB image transmission using IRSM-OCDMA with PSO-based image enhancement
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Underwater Optical Wireless Communication systems face severe signal attenuation, scattering, and turbulence, which significantly degrade image transmission quality and limit the communication range. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a secure and high-capacity RGB image transmission framework based on Optical Code Division Multiple Access (OCDMA) using Identity Row Shift Matrix (IRSM) codes. The IRSM-OCDMA scheme enhances data confidentiality by assigning unique orthogonal codes to each user while supporting simultaneous multiuser transmission with an aggregate rate of up to 30 Gbps. System performance is analyzed across five water types: Pure Seawater (PS), Clear Ocean, Coastal Ocean, Harbour I, and Harbour II (HR II), covering a broad range of attenuation coefficients. Image quality is quantitatively evaluated using standard metrics including Root Mean Square Error, Signal-to-Noise Ratio, Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio, Structural Similarity Index Measure, and Correlation Coefficient. Two distinct post-processing methods are applied: median filtering for impulsive noise reduction and a Particle Swarm Optimization-based correction algorithm that adaptively restores image features under underwater channel conditions. Simulation results show a maximum transmission distance of 27 m in PS and 4 m in turbid HR II water, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed framework. The combination of IRSM coding with adaptive post-processing offers a robust solution for secure, high-quality image transmission in Internet of Underwater Things applications.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
