Abstract

In this paper, we present an efficient specific steganalysis scheme for multi bit plane image steganography. This algorithm proposed by Nguyen, Yoon and Lee at IWDW'06 is applied to uncompressed images and embeds data into several bit planes of the canonical gray coding. It is designed to be robust against RS steganalysis and pixel difference histogram analysis. We show how to adapt RS analysis into a local analysis to design an efficient detector against multi bit plane image steganography. This method takes advantages from both the counter-measures introduced by the authors and the power of RS analysis approach. Finally, we designed a specific classifier to detect images embedded with Nguyen's algorithm. This detector has high detection rates, even for low embedding rates.
