High Capacity Data Hiding for Grayscale Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
High embedding capacity and low image distortion factors are main concerns of information hiding researchers. No scheme can achieve these two factors simultaneously. The purpose of achieving either high embedding capacity or low image distortion varies from application to application. This paper presents a high embedding capacity information hiding method for grayscale images. The proposed method converts binary secret data into secret digits in the base-5 numeral system first. Next, one secret digit in the base-5 numeral system is embedded into one cover pixel. The experimental results show that the proposed method can be used to embed two secret bits into one cover pixel with the imperceptible image distortion. Comparing with some other works, we found that our method indeed outperforms all others in its capacity.

A Novel Information Hiding Scheme Based on Line Segments
In the last few years, hiding information on grayscale images has been drawing more attention in many applications. In this paper we propose a novel hiding algorithm on grayscale images by using line segments. We generate an initial set of line segments and use Sobel operator, which is an edge detection method, to detect the complex area. We then embed more secret data into the line segments lo...

Lossless data hiding is the technique of embedding data in an image and retrieval of the data with lossless reconstruction of original image. In this paper, we present a novel lossless data hiding scheme based on histogram modification. This technique is based on differences of adjacent pixels for embedding data and has more hiding capacity compared to existing methods. The number of message bi...
متن کاملA new steganographic method for color and grayscale image hiding
In this paper, we present a steganographic method for embedding a color or a grayscale image in a true color image. Three types of secret images can be carried by the proposed method: hiding a color secret image, hiding a palette-based 256-color secret image, and hiding a grayscale image in a true color image. Secret data are protected by the conventional crypto system DES. We compare the image...

Image steganography is a technology that communicates the secret data by the carrier image. A quality data hiding scheme should hide huge secret data in the carrier without demeaning the quality of the carrier. This paper, discusses a high hiding capacity reversible data hiding scheme with low distortion. It incorporates double-embedding strategy projected for storing secret data in carrier. Th...
