Exploiting error control in matrix coding-based data hiding over lossy channel
Tóm tắt
A steganographic scheme, matrix coding-based data hiding (MCDH), is constructed from covering function to enhance embedding efficiency, and, meanwhile, decrease the required changed bits. However, the MCDH may be compromised when using it as steganography over lossy channel. In this paper, we consider the so-called error spreading problem that one-bit error in MCDH may give rise to multi-bit errors when extracting the hidden data. In this paper, we present new MCDH to overcome error spreading problem based on constant weight code. Our new approach uses small lookup table to reduce embedding/extracting complexity. Experimental results demonstrate a better performance than previously proposed MCDHs in terms of spreading errors against lossy channel.
