Abstract

In this paper, an effective reversible data embedding algorithm was proposed to embed secrete data into image. In the proposed algorithm, prediction image is generated by accurately predicting pixel values using local similarity existing in image, difference sequence is generated using the generated prediction image and original cover image, and then histogram shift technique is applied to create a stego-image with secrete data hidden. Applying the proposed algorithm, secrete data can be extracted from the stego-image and the original cover image can be restored without loss. Experimental results show that it is possible to embed more secrete data into cover image than APD algorithm by applying the proposed algorithm.

본 논문에서는 기밀 데이터를 커버 이미지에 은닉하는 효과적인 가역 데이터 은닉 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 기법에서는 이미지에 존재하는 지역적 유사성을 이용하여 픽셀 값을 정확하게 예측하여 예측 이미지를 생성하였고, 생성된 예측 이미지와 원본 커버 이미지를 사용하여 차분 시퀀스를 생성한 후, 히스토그램 쉬프트 기법을 적용하여 기밀데이터가 은닉된 스테고 이미지(stego-image)를 생성하였다. 스테고 이미지로부터 기밀 데이터를 추출하고 원본 커버 이미지를 손실 없이 복원할 수 있다. 제안된 기법을 적용하면 기존의 APD 기법에 비하여 더 많은 기밀 데이터를 은닉할 수 있음을 실험으로 확인하였다.
