A Fusion of Maximum Likelihood and Structural Steganalysis
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper draws together two methodologies for the detection of bit replacement steganography: the principle of maximum likelihood, which is statistically well-founded but has lead to weak detectors in practice, and so-called structural detection, which is sensitive but lacks optimality and can suffer from complicated exposition. The key novelty is to extend structural analysis to include a hypothetical “pre-cover”, from which the cover object is imagined to derive. Here, maximum likelihood detection is presented for three structural detectors. Although the algebraic derivation is long, and maximizing the likelihood function difficult in practice, conceptually the new detectors are reasonably simple. Experiments show that the new detectors are the best performers yet, very significantly so in the detection of replacement of multiple bit planes.

A New Approach to Self-Localization for Mobile Robots Using Sensor Data Fusion
This paper proposes a new approach for calibration of dead reckoning process. Using the well-known UMBmark (University of Michigan Benchmark) is not sufficient for a desirable calibration of dead reckoning. Besides, existing calibration methods usually require explicit measurement of actual motion of the robot. Some recent methods use the smart encoder trailer or long range finder sensors such ...
متن کاملFusion of Two Typical Quantitative Steganalysis Based on SVR
For the LSB steganography, a fusion method is proposed to fuse two typical quantitative steganalysis methods based on support vector regression (SVR). This paper first gives some main factors influencing the errors of structural steganalysis and weighted stego image steganalysis, viz. the local variance and saturation. Then, the estimated embedding ratios of above two methods, the local varianc...
متن کاملThe impact of information fusion in steganalysis on the example of audio steganalysis
Information fusion tries to determine the best set of experts in a given problem domain and devise an appropriate function that can optimally combine the decisions of the individual experts. Only few systematic approaches to information fusion exist so far in the signal processing field of steganalysis. Under the basic assumption that steganalysis can be seen as a statistical pattern recognitio...
متن کاملBlind Quantitative Steganalysis Based on Feature Fusion and Gradient Boosting
Blind quantitative steganalysis is about revealing more details about hidden information without any prior knowledge of steganograghy. Machine learning can be used to estimate some properties of hidden message for blind quantitative steganalysis. We propose a quantitative steganalysis method based on fusion of different steganalysis features and the estimator relies on gradient boosting. Experi...
متن کاملImproving steganalysis by fusion techniques: a case study with image steganography
In the past few years, we have witnessed a number of powerful steganalysis technique proposed in the literature. These techniques could be categorized as either specific or universal. Each category of techniques has a set of advantages and disadvantages. A steganalysis technique specific to a steganographic embedding technique would perform well when tested only on that method and might fail on...
