This paper proposes a DCT-based steganographic method named StegErmelc in the JPEG domain. Three strategies are proposed, namely (i) edge-like block selection, (ii) recursive matrix encoding, and (iii) largest coefficient serving, to form a novel steganographic method for achieving scalable carrier capacity, low detectability by universal blind steganalyzer, and high image quality, simultaneously. For a given message length, StegErmelc flexibly scales its carrier capacity to accommodate the message while trading off with stego detectability. At full capacity, StegErmelc has comparable carrier capacity relative to the existing methods. When embedding the same amount of information, StegErmelc remarkably reduces the stego detection rate to about 0.3–0.5 lower than that of the existing methods considered, and consequently StegErmelc can withstand blind steganalyzer when embedding up to 0.10 bpc. Under the same condition, StegErmelc produces stego image with quality higher than that of the existing methods considered. Graphical comparison with three additional evaluation metrics is also presented to show the relative performance of StegErmelc with respect to the existing methods considered.
