High-Payload Lossless Data Hiding Scheme with Block Statistics Characteristics

With regards to significant images, famous painting or military image, most of they are not allowed with any loss, thus, they cannot be used for hiding secret data in order to preserve their completeness. Recently, lossless data hiding is a solution for overcoming the situation when the original cover image is very significant. A high-payload lossless data hiding scheme with block statistics characteristics is proposed in this paper. The proposed scheme uses invariant statistics information to reduce the distortion between the stego image and the original cover image. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method has competitive performance.
