A New Image Steganography Based on 2k Correction and Edge-Detection

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new image steganography scheme which is a kind of spatial domain technique. In order to hide secret data in cover-image, we use the just noticeabledifference (JND) technique and method of contrast sensitivity function (CSF). This is an edge-detection which uses part information of each pixel-value. In order to have better imperceptibility, we propose a mathematical method which is the 2k correction. Proposed scheme can embed more data than previous schemes [6, 5, 13], and shows better imperceptibility. To prove this scheme, we performed several experiments, and compared the experimental results with the related previous works.
