In this paper, we propose a frequency domain data hiding method for the JPEG compressed images. The proposed method embeds data in the DCT coefficients of the selected 8 × 8 blocks. According to the theories of Human Visual Systems  (HVS), human vision is less sensitive to perturbation of pixel values in the uneven areas of the image. In this paper we propose a Singular Value Decomposition based image roughness measure (SVD-IRM) using which we select the coarse 8 × 8 blocks as data embedding destinations. Moreover, to make the embedded data more robust against re-compression attack and error due to transmission over noisy channels, we employ Turbo error correcting codes. The actual data embedding is done using a proposed variant of matrix encoding that is capable of embedding three bits by modifying only one bit in block of seven carrier features. We have carried out experiments to validate the performance and it is found that the proposed method achieves better payload capacity and visual quality and is more robust than some of the recent state-of-the-art methods proposed in the literature.

Data hiding is a technique that allows secret data to be delivered securely by embedding the data into cover digital media. In this paper, we propose a new data hiding algorithm for H.264/advanced video coding (AVC) of video sequences with high embedding capacity. In the proposed scheme, to embed secret data into the quantized discrete cosine transform (QDCT) coefficients of I frames without any intraframe distortion drift, some embeddable coefficient pairs are selected in each block, and they are divided into two different groups, i.e., the embedding group and the averting group. The embedding group is used to carry the secret data, and the averting group is used to prevent distortion drift in the adjacent blocks. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme can avoid intraframe distortion drift and guarantee low distortion of video sequences. In addition, the proposed scheme provides enhanced embedding capacity compared to previous schemes. Moreover, the embedded secret data can be extracted completely without the requirement of the original secret data.

Data hiding is the art of embedding data into a cover image without any perceptual distortion of the cover image. Moreover, data hiding is a very crucial research topic in information security because it can be used for various applications. In this study, we proposed a high-capacity data-hiding scheme for absolute moment block truncation coding (AMBTC) decompressed images. We statistically analyzed the composition of the secret data string and developed a unique encoding and decoding dictionary search for adjusting pixel values. The dictionary was used in the embedding and extraction stages. The dictionary provides high data-hiding capacity because the secret data was compressed using dictionary-based coding. The experimental results of this study reveal that the proposed scheme is better than the existing schemes, with respect to the data-hiding capacity and visual quality.
