Outline • Introduction • Related Work • Proposed Method • Experimental Results • Conclusions
Introduction • Proposed Method • Progressive VSS (halftone images) • No pixel expansion • More than 50% contrast
Related WorkFang and Lin’s Progressive Visual Sharing Scheme • Disadvantages: • Black block darker than white one - > security problem • Candidate blocks randomly choose -> poor quality of the recovered image • Pixel expansion -> shares 4x more than secret image
Proposed Scheme (1/2) • Input: W x H halftone secret image P (3x3) • Output: n (4) shares Sm, m = 1 , … , n (4) (S1, S2,S3, S4) Step 1: Generate sharing matrices C0 (white pixels) and C1 (black pixels) (n x n - 4x4) Row: sharing method Column: value assigned to every participant Probability of each pixel on the shares to be black: 1/n (1/4)
Proposed Scheme (2/2) • Input: W x H halftone secret image P (3x3) • Output: n (4) shares Sm, m = 1 , … , n (4) (S1, S2,S3, S4) Step 2: Generate n (4) shares (S1, S2,S3, S4) 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 l = 3 l = 4 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Conclusions • Fang and Lin Scheme • Pixel expansion (4) • Poor quality of the recovered image • Security problem (shares with secret information) • Proposed Scheme • No pixel expansion • Better image quality => (n-1)/n • Shares noise-like
