A Compressed Video Steganography using TPVD

Abstract

Steganography is the art of hiding information in ways that avert the revealing of hiding messages. This paper proposes a new Compressed Video Steganographic scheme. In this algorithm, data hiding operations are executed entirely in the compressed domain. Here data are embedded in the macro blocks of I frame with maximum scene change and in block of P and B frames with maximum magnitude of motion vectors. To enlarge the capacity of the hidden secret information and to provide an imperceptible stego-image for human vision, a novel steganographic approach called tri-way pixel-value differencing (TPVD) is used for embedding.
