چکیده

Most recent papers about visual cryptography for halftone images are dedicated to get a higher contrast decoded image. However, the hidden visual pattern often blends into the background image and leads to a confused image. In this paper, we propose an improved method for halftone image hiding. By using the proposed method, the background image can be eliminated and the hidden visual pattern can be revealed precisely. Experimental results show that the decoded visual patterns could reveal good visual quality under various kinds of input patterns. Furthermore, better visual quality can be obtained when more halftone images are overlaid.

A Unified Min-Max Transition-Based Data Hiding Algorithm for Mixed Text/Halftone Images

Recently, several algorithms have been developed to hide data in either text images or halftone images. According to an observation that the number of transitions between black pixel and white pixel in the halftone image is much larger than that in the text image, this paper presents a unified min-max transition (MMT) scheme to embed data into the above two types of images without visual degrad...

Data Hiding in Halftone Images by Dual Conjugate Error Diffusion

In this paper, we propose a new halftone watermarking method named Data Hiding by Dual Conjugate Error Diffusion (DHDCED) based on Data Hiding by Conjugate Error Diffusion (DHCED). Unlike DHCED, The proposed method will embed a binary secret pattern into two or more error diffused halftone images by modifying each of them. When the two halftone images are overlaid, the secret pattern will be re...

Look-up Table Based Reversible Data Hiding for Error Diffused Halftone Images

This paper proposes a reversible data hiding method for error diffused halftone images. It employs statistics feature of pixel block patterns to embed data, and utilizes the HVS characteristics to reduce the introduced visual distortion. The watermarked halftone image can be perfectly recovered if it is intact, only a secret key is required. The method is suitable for the applications where the...

پنهان نگاری وفقی براساس پیچیدگی نسبی پیکسلها در تصاویر دوسطح

In recent years steganography has attracted the attention of many researchers. Steganography can be used in media such as still image, audio, and video. Image is one of the most frequently used media. One of the forms of presentation of an image is halftone. In this paper a method is presented which hides data in halftone images. The data hiding process is performed during the halftoning step. ...

A Fundamental Conception to Formulate Image Data Hiding Scheme Based on Error Diffusion

In this paper, we consider to formulate an image data hiding scheme based on error diffusion. By using the scheme, visual patterns are embedded in a halftone image without affecting its perceptual quality depending on a halftone key image. The scheme has the feature of visual cryptography with respect to extracting of the embedded patterns, i.e., when we print the two halftone images onto trans...
