Abstract
A reversible data hiding method based on multiple strategies is proposed in this method. To fully exploit strong correlations among pixels, the third maximum pixel is used for predicting the second maximum pixel, and simultaneously, the second maximum pixel is employed to the maximum pixel. To keep the numerical order of the modified three largest pixels unchanged, pixel-value-order (PVO) and improved PVO (IPVO) are combined to modify three largest pixels such that three largest pixels can be embedded with 2 bits at most. Besides, multiple scanning ways are exploited to further improve the number of prediction errors valued 1 and 0. Experimental results also demonstrate the proposed method is effective.
