Abstract

In traditional visual secret sharing (VSS) scheme, the pixel expansion is a drawback which not only increases the transmission cost, but also distorts the recovered secret image. This paper proposes a visual secret sharing scheme which hides a secret into two share images without pixel expansion. It provides high quality of recovered secret image. The experimental results show the stacking result of share images in our scheme is smoother than others.

ICUIMC '10: Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Uniquitous Information Management and Communication

Visual secret sharing (VSS) schemes have been proposed by Naor and Shamir [1] in 1995. It encodes a binary secret image into several meaningless images called shares or transparencies. The secret image can be obtained by stacking the qualified set of ...
