In today’s world of computers everyone is communicating their personal information through the web. So, the security of personal information is the main concern from the research point of view. Steganography can be used for the security purpose of personal information. Storing and forwarding of embedded personal information specifically in public places is gaining more attention day by day. In this research work, the Integer Wavelet Transform technique along with JPEG (Joint Photograph Expert Group) compression is proposed to overcome some of the issues associated with steganography techniques. Video cover files and JPEG compression improve concealing capacity because of their intrinsic properties. Integer Wavelet Transform is used to improve the imperceptibility and robustness of the proposed technique. The Imperceptibility of the proposed work is analyzed through evaluation parameters such as PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio), MSE (Mean Square Error), SSIM (Structure Similarity Metric), and CC (Correlation Coefficient). Robustness is validated through some image processing attacks. Complexity is calculated in terms of concealing and retrieval time along with the amount of secret information hidden.
Steganography is a technique that embeds secret information in a suitable cover file such as text, image, audio, and video in such a manner that secret information remains invisible to the outside world. The study of the literature relevant to video steganography reveals that a tradeoff exists in attaining the acceptable values of various evaluation parameters such as a higher capacity usually results in lesser robustness or imperceptibility. In this article, we propose a technique that achieves high capacity along with required robustness. The embedding capacity is increased using singular value decomposition compression. To achieve the desired robustness, we constrain the embedding of the secret message in the region of interest in the cover video file. In this manner, we also succeed in maintaining the required imperceptibility. We prefer Haar-based lifting scheme in the wavelet domain for embedding the information because of its intrinsic benefits. We have implemented our suggested technique using MATLAB. The analysis of results on the prespecified parameters of the steganography justifies the effectiveness of the proposed technique.
Steganography has become a preferred technique these days to successfully hide secret messages. Various research has been done in the past to justify and analyze suitable types of cover file, such as images, audio, videos, etc. Advancement in the image-processing domain has opened various possibilities of using three-dimensional (3D) images as cover files. In this paper, a systematic study of the research work done on 3D steganography in the last fifteen years has been carried out. The study is divided into different sections based on the types of algorithms used, additional security features, evaluation parameters, etc. Moreover, certain steganalysis techniques that are applicable for 3D steganography are also discussed.
The brain is regarded as one of the most effective body-controlling organs. The development of technology has enabled the early and accurate detection of brain tumors, which makes a significant difference in their treatment. The adoption of AI has grown substantially in the arena of neurology. This systematic review compares recent Deep Learning (DL), Machine Learning (ML), and hybrid methods for detecting brain cancers. This article evaluates 36 recent articles on these techniques, considering datasets, methodology, tools used, merits, and limitations. The articles contain comprehensible graphs and tables. The detection of brain tumors relies heavily on ML techniques such as Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Fuzzy C-Means (FCM). Recurrent Convolutional Neural Networks (RCNN), DenseNet, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), ResNet, and Deep Neural Networks (DNN) are DL techniques used to detect brain tumors more efficiently. DL and ML techniques are merged to develop hybrid techniques. In addition, a summary of the various image processing steps is provided. The systematic review identifies outstanding issues and future goals for DL and ML-based techniques for detecting brain tumors. Through a systematic review, the most effective method for detecting brain tumors can be identified and utilized for improvement.
