چکیده

Steganographic and watermarking information inserted into a color image file, regardless of embedding algorithm, causes disturbances in the relationships between neighboring pixels. A method for steganalysis utilizing the local binary pattern (LBP) texture operator to examine the pixel texture patterns within neighborhoods across the color planes is presented. Providing the outputs of this simple algorithm to an artificial neural net capable of supervised learning results in the creation of a surprisingly reliable predictor of steganographic content, even with relatively small amounts of embedded data. Other tools for identifying images with steganographic content have been developed by forming a neural network input vector comprised of image statistics that respond to particular side effects of specific embedding algorithms. The neural net in our experiment is trained with general texture related statistics from clean images and images modified using only one embedding algorithm, and is able to correctly discriminate clean images from images altered by data embedded by one of various different watermarking and steganographic algorithms. Algorithms tested include various steganographic and watermarking programs and include spatial and transform domain image hiding techniques. The interesting result is that clean color images can be reliably distinguished from steganographically altered images based on texture alone, regardless of the embedding algorithm.

Color Wavelet Based Universal Blind Steganalysis

This paper presents a universal blind steganalysis method for color images. The key new components of the presented method are color wavelet decomposition and a set of feature vectors. In addition, it is based on simple Fisher Linear Discriminatant approach for classifying the received image as containing steganographic content or not. The presented class of color wavelets has several useful pr...

Essentials of Image Steganalysis Measures

We present a technique for steganalysis of images that have been subjected to Least Significant Bit (LSB) type steganographic algorithms. The seventh and eight bit planes in an image are used for the computation of several binary similarity measures and we analyze the security of Least Significant Bit (LSB) embedding for hiding messages in high-color-depth digital images. The basic idea is that...

"Steganalysis in Technicolor" Boosting WS detection of stego images from CFA-interpolated covers

Steganographic security in empirical covers is best understood for grayscale images. However, the world, and almost all digital images of it, are more colorful. This paper extends the weighted stego-image (WS) steganalysis method to detect stego images produced from covers that exhibit traces of color filter array (CFA) interpolation, which is common for images acquired with digital cameras. Th...

Eigenvalues-based LSB steganalysis

So far, various components of image characteristics have been used for steganalysis, including the histogram characteristic function, adjacent colors distribution, and sample pair analysis. However, some certain steganography methods have been proposed that can thwart some analysis approaches through managing the embedding patterns. In this regard, the present paper is intended to introduce a n...
