In this paper, we provide a novel reversible data hiding method using adaptive block truncation coding based on an edge-based quantization (ABTC-EQ) approach. We exploit the characteristic not being used in ABTC-EQ. To accomplish this, we first utilized a Canny edge detector to obtain an edge image and classify each block in a cover image into two versions, edge-block and non-edge-block. Subsequently, k-means clustering was used to obtain three quantization levels and derive the corresponding bit map while the current processing block was the case of an edge-block. Then Zero-Point Fixed Histogram Shifting (ZPF-HS) was applied to embed the secret information into compressed code. The experimental results show that our method provides a high embedding capacity for each test image and performance is better than other methods.
