Improved reversible data hiding in JPEG images based on new coefficient selection strategy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently, reversible data hiding (RDH) techniques for JPEG images have become more extensively used to combine image and authentication information conveniently into one file. Although embedding data in JPEG image degrades visual quality and increases file size, it is proven to be useful for data communication and image authentication. In this paper, a data hiding method in JPEG image using a new coefficient selection technique is proposed. The proposed scheme embeds data using the histogram shifting (HS) method. According to the number of zero AC coefficients, block ordering is used to embed data first in the blocks causing less distortion. In order to further reduce the distortion, positions of AC coefficients are selected carefully. Finally, AC coefficients valued +1 and −1 are used for embedding, and the remaining non-zero AC coefficients are shifted to the left or right directions according to their sign. Compared to the current state-of-the-art method, experimental results show that the proposed method has higher peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and smaller file size.

This paper proposes a lossless data hiding technique for JPEG images based on histogram pairs. It embeds data into the JPEG quantized 8x8 block DCT coefficients and can achieve good performance in terms of PSNR versus payload through manipulating histogram pairs with optimum threshold and optimum region of the JPEG DCT coefficients. It can obtain higher payload than the prior arts. In addition,...

متن کاملA Data Hiding Technique in JPEG Compressed Domain
JPEG is a common image format in the world wide web. JPEG-compressed images can be used to hide data for secret internet communication and simply any auxiliary data. In this paper, we propose an algorithm called J-Mark to embed invisible watermark information into JPEG compressed images in the compress domain. There are three parts of J-Mark: block selection, DCT coefficient selection, and modi...

© 2012 Ching-Yu Yang and Chih-Hung Lin 429 This study presents two reversible data hiding schemes based on the coefficient shifting (CS) algorithm. The first scheme uses the CS algorithm with a mean predictor in the spatial domain to provide a large payload while minimizing distortion. To guard against manipulations, the second scheme uses a robust version of the CS algorithm with feature embed...
