Data hiding is an age-old technique used to conceal an image, text of vital importance inside an image or video sequence. Several attacks are prevalent in an attempt to hack the data hidden inside the image. Several algorithms have been put forward focused in making the embedding technique to be robust to such attacks. The current work is focused towards studying the behavior of Spatial and Fre...
