Abstract

A new high capacity method for transform domain image steganography is introduced in this paper. The proposed steganography algorithm works on the wavelet transform coefficients of the original image to embed the secret data. As compared to current transform domain data hiding methods, this scheme can provide a larger capacity for data hiding without sacrificing the cover image quality. This is achieved through retaining integrity of the wavelet coefficients at high capacity embedding. This improvement to capacity-quality trading-off interrelation is analyzed in detailed and experimentally illustrated in the paper.
