Abstract

In this paper, we present a new scheme for digital steganography of three-dimensional (3-D) triangle meshes. This scheme is robust against translation, rotation, and scaling operations. It is based on a substitutive procedure in the spatial domain. The key idea is to consider a triangle as a two-state geometrical object. We discuss its performance in terms of capacity, complexity, visibility, and security. We validate the use of a principal component analysis (PCA) to make our scheme signal-dependent in the line of second generation watermarking scheme. We also define a simple specific metric for distortion evaluation that has been validated by many tests. We conclude by giving some other solutions, including open steganographic schemes that could be derived from the basic ideas presented here.
