Robust Lossless Image Data Hiding

Abstract

Two novel robust lossless data hiding algorithms that do not use modulo-256 to achieve losslessness and hence do not generate salt-and-pepper noise have been invented and developed in this project. One is implemented in spatial domain, another in integer wavelet transform domain. Both are based on patchwork theory and both treat blocks of different content with different embedding schemes. Permutation and error correction codes are utilized to enhance robustness. Extensive experimental works have been conducted and have demonstrated the effectiveness of these two algorithms. These two algorithms have been used in a Unified Authentication Framework for JPEG2000 Images, which has now been included in the final committee draft (FCD) 1.0 of the Security Part of JPEG2000 (JPSEC) standard.
