A reversible and multiple-layer embedding strategy with high capacity
Article No.: 51, Pages 1 - 5
Abstract
This paper proposes a reversible data-embedding scheme that improves on Kieu and Chang's method by increasing the embedding capacity measured by bits per pixel (bpp) while maintaining high image quality. The embedding procedure of the proposed method consists of two phases: "horizontal embedding" and "vertical embedding." Every overlapping pixel pair can carry one secret bit for enhancing the embedding capacity. The experimental results show that the PSNR value of one-layer embedding is greater than 52 dB, and the embedding capacity is more than 1 bpp for all 512x512 test images. Even after four-layer embedding, the experimental results show that the embedding capacity of test images is more than 4.8 bpp and the PSNR value is higher than 51 dB. The results show that the proposed method has superior measures in both image quality and embedding capacity.

A reversible data hiding scheme using complementary embedding strategy
Obtaining good visual quality and high hiding capacity with reversible data hiding systems is a technically challenging problem. In this paper, we propose a simple reversible data hiding scheme that uses a complementary hiding strategy. The proposed ...
Adaptive reversible watermarking with improved embedding capacity
Embedding capacity is one of the most important issues of the reversible watermarking. However, the theoretical maximum embedding capacity of most reversible watermarking algorithms is only 1.0bits per pixel (bpp). To achieve a higher capacity, we have ...
Data Hiding Scheme with High Embedding Capacity and Good Visual Quality Based on Edge Detection
ICGEC '10: Proceedings of the 2010 Fourth International Conference on Genetic and Evolutionary ComputingIn 2010, Chen et al.
