Abstract:
In an earlier paper [1], we propose a high capacity data hiding scheme for various types of binary images. The scheme ensures that in an MxN image block, the upper bound of the amount of bits that can be embedded is ⌊nlog 2((MxN)/n + 1)⌋ by changing at most n individual pixels. However, changing individual pixels in halftone images will introduce undesirable 'salt-and-pepper' noise, or local black or white clusters. In this paper, we propose a new scheme for halftone images which improves [1] in its capability to maintain better quality of the host image after data hiding by changing pixels in pairs rather than individually. The new scheme can still offer a high embedding efficiency. Experimental results show that the new scheme can maintain better image quality. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
