A scalable Blockchain based system for super resolution images manipulation

Abstract

This work aims to solve the problem of “big” images manipulation up to the order of gigapixels ones. The sequential elaboration of these images is too complex and many times, impossible. This is a problem present in many study areas like forensics investigation or medical analysis and there are few solutions in literature. In this work, we will develop a distributed ledger and Smart Contracts solution in order to manipulate super resolution images in a decentralized and competitive way. The proposed system is highly dependable as the Blockchain infrastructure guarantee fault tolerance, high security and reliability. In the second part of the work, the solution has been tested in the context of demographic analysis. Thanks to this work, we can develop a peer to peer computational power exchange where scientists are able to offer their own digital token in exchange of a Gigapixel image elaboration, classification and recognition.
