Abstract :
This paper presents a lossless data hiding method using coefficients of integer wavelet domain. The modification of selected small coefficients of the high frequency subbands are used to embed data. We use the histogram modification to intelligently select the proper coefficients for data hiding. Data embedding is done by processing these selected coefficients. We show that at low payload data hiding our method has comparable PSNR than the best known reversible data hiding techniques, while at higher payloads it has significant superiority on image quality.
