“…The paper titled BAn efficient reversible data hiding method for AMBTC compressed images^ [5] proposes a type II reversible data hiding method for the absolute moment block truncation coding compressed code. Authors propose: 1) median edge detection and alternative prediction of the quantization values to improve the efficacy of prediction and 2) a centralization error division technique to divide prediction errors making it more efficient.…”

“…Thus Reversible data hiding (RDH) [1] is proposed, which can reconstruct both host images and additional data with little distortion. Generally, RDH can be divided into four categories [2]: space domain [3][4][5], transform domain [6] [7], compress domain [8][9][10][11] and encrypt domain [12][13][14]. Only RDH in compress domain can be used in compressed image.…”

A reversible data hiding scheme in JPEG compressed bitstreams is proposed, which could avoid decoding failure and file expansion by means of removing of bitstreams corresponding to high frequency coefficients and embedding of secret data in file header as comment part. We decode original JPEG images to quantified 8×8 DCT blocks, and search for a high frequency as an optimal termination point, beyond which the coefficients are set to zero. These blocks are separated into two parts so that termination point in the latter part is slightly smaller to make the whole blocks available in substitution. Then spare space is reserved to insert secret data after comment marker so that data extraction is independent of recovery in receiver. Marked images can be displayed normally such that it is difficult to distinguish deviation by human eyes. Termination point is adaptive for variation in secret size. A secret size below 500 bits produces a negligible distortion and a PSNR of approximately 50 dB, while PSNR is also mostly larger than 30 dB for a secret size up to 25000 bits. The experimental results show that the proposed technique exhibits significant advantages in computational complexity and preservation of file size for small hiding capacity, compared to previous methods. .

“…Sun et al [23] proposed a JNC predictor-based RDH method to embed four bits into one modified compressed block code and reduced the size of the final compressed image codes at the same time. Later, Hong et al proposed two methods [24,25] to improve the performance of Sun et al's method by achieving a higher hiding capacity and lower bitrate, i.e., a smaller file size. A MED predictor was used in these two methods and a series of improvements were proposed to achieve better performance.…”

A Hybrid Data Hiding Method for Strict AMBTC Format Images with High-Fidelity

With the rapid development of smartphones, cloud storage, and wireless communications, protecting the security of compressed images through data transmission on the Internet has become a critical contemporary issue. A series of data hiding methods for AMBTC compressed images has been proposed to solve this problem. However, most of these methods either change the file size of the final compressed code or exchange the order of two quantization values in some blocks. To reverse this situation, this paper proposes a data hiding method for strict AMBTC format images using a hybrid strategy: replacement, matrix encoding, and symmetric quantization value embedding for three block types i.e., smooth blocks, less complex blocks and highly complex blocks. According to the hybrid strategy, an efficient data hiding order is designed to achieve higher-fidelity. Experimental results show that our proposed method provides an excellent balance between image quality and hiding capacity and has no error blocks in the final stego-compressed code.
