Abstract

Lossless information hiding is to embed secret information into multi-media. Through extraction algorithm, the concealed information can be extracted and the original multi-media can be totally recovered. Jin et al. developed a simple and efficient lossless hiding scheme. The stego image quality resulted from Jin et al.'s scheme is good. However, their scheme can not hide a large number of secret data. Therefore, this paper proposes an enhanced hiding scheme to improve Jin et al.'s scheme. Furthermore, we apply an wavelet control technique based on Kamstra et al.'s scheme to control the image distortion. The experimental result shows that the amount of secret data based on the proposed scheme is higher than that of Jin et al.'s scheme. Moreover, the proposed method combined with Kamstra et al.'s scheme enhances the stego image quality efficiently.
