ABSTRACT Steganography is the art of hiding the very presence of communication by embedding secret messages into innocuous looking cover images. The least significant bit (LSB) steganography that replaces the least significant bits of the host medium is a widely used technique with low computational complexity and high insertion capacity. Although it has good perceptual transparency, it is vulnerable to steganalysis which is based on histogram analysis. In all the existing schemes detection of a secret message in a cover image can be easily detected from the histogram analysis and statistical analysis. Therefore developing new LSB steganography algorithms against statistical and histogram analysis is the prime requirement.

ABSTRACT

In this paper, a novel data hiding technique is proposed, as an improvement over the Fibonacci LSB data-hiding technique
proposed by Battisti et al. (2006), First we mathematically model and generalize our approach. Then we propose our novel technique, based on decomposition of a number (pixel-value) in sum of prime numbers. The particular representation generates a different set of (virtual) bit-planes altogether, suitable for embedding purposes. They not only allow one to embed secret message in higher bitplanes but also do it without much distortion, with a much better stego-image quality, and in a reliable and secured manner, guaranteeing efficient retrieval of secret message. A comparative performance study between the classical least significant bit (LSB) method, the Fibonacci LSB data-hiding technique and our proposed schemes has been done. Analysis indicates that image quality of the stego-image hidden by the technique using Fibonacci decomposition improves against that using simple LSB substitution method, while the same using the prime decomposition method improves drastically against that using Fibonacci decomposition technique. Experimental results show that, the stego-image is visually indistinguishable from the original cover-image.

ABSTRACT

Multiple description coding (MDC) is a way of trading off coding

gain with robustness to channel errors. This paper presents a new method for MDC using the framework of transform coding. Instead of using the Karhunen-Loeve transform (KLT) that decorrelates all the coefficients, we choose the transform bases so that the coefficients are correlated pair-wise. This is accomplished by

rotating every two basis vectors in the KLT. Each pair of correlated coefficients are then split between two descriptions. Only 45 rotation is considered which leads to two balanced streams. In the actual implementation, the DCT is employed in place of the KLT and the rotation of transform bases is accomplished by rotating the DCT coefficients. Experimental results show that this method can lead to satisfactory image reconstruction from any one description with a relatively small (20% for lena) overhead over a standard JPEG coder ABSTRACT The objective of multiple description coding (MDC) is to encode a source into multiple bitstreams supporting multiple quality levels of decoding. In this paper, we only consider the two-description case, where the requirement is that a high-quality reconstruction should be decodable from the two bitstreams together, while lower, but still acceptable, quality reconstructions should be decodable from either of the two individual bitstreams. This paper describes techniques for meeting MDC objectives in the framework of standard transform-based image coding through the design of pairwise correlating transforms. The correlation introduced by the transform helps to reduce the distortion when only a single description is received, but it also increases the bit rate beyond that prescribed by the rate-distortion function of the source. We analyze the relation between the redundancy (i.e., the extra bit rate) and the single description distortion using this transform-based framework. We also describe an image coder that incorporates the pairwise transform and show its redundancy-rate-distortion performance for real images

ABSTRACT

Multiple description coding (MDC) is a technique used to obtain two or more (often correlated) descriptions of a source, which are
transmitted over different channels to the receiver. These descriptions of the source support two levels of reconstruction quality. When all the descriptions are received and used in the reconstruction, the source can be reconstructed with high fidelity. When only a subset of the descriptions is received, the quality of reconstruction should still be acceptable. In this work, we introduce MDC (with two descriptions) in the context of classification based subband coding. We develop an efficient MDC scheme using multiple description scalar quantizers and present a greedy algorithm to allocate rates and redundancies among the classified subbands
