  2. What is reversible data hiding? Introduction • The original cover can be losslessly restored after the embedded information is extracted. message data extraction & cover restoration message data embedding stego cover cover

  3. What is reversible data hiding? Introduction • The original cover can be losslessly restored after the embedded information is extracted. • Why is reversible data hiding needed? • In some applications, even any degradation of the original cover is not allowed, such as medical imagery, military imagery and law forensics. • Where is reversible data hiding applied? • Media annotation; • integrity authentication ...

  4. How to do reversible data hiding? Introduction • Type-I: Binary feature sequence, generic compression method (e.g., arithmetic coder); • Type-II: Integer operations: Difference Expansion (DE) or Histogram Shifting (HS)— specific compression manner for the histogram

  5. Type-I: Basic model [Kalker] Introduction d modifications • Embedding rate: • Distortion: • How to maximize embedding rate under any given distortion? A rate-distortion problem

  6. Introduction • Theoretical upper bound [Kalker]

  7. Introduction • RecursiveCode construction [Kalker] • Key idea: • the marked cover can be used to reconstruct the cover

  8. Observation I Two observations • Not only the marked cover can be used to reconstruct the cover, but also the reconstructed cover can help to extract message.

  9. Two observations • Observation II

  10. Observation II Two observations • The maximum capacity is achieved at D=p0－1/2; • When D≤p0－1/2, the optimal embedding manner is that only 0’s are allowed to be changed. (Corollary 1 of Theorem 2, [Kalker]) • Our strategy: • Only embed data into 0’s and skip 1’s; • At the decoder side, the embedding positions can be recognized with the help of reconstructed cover.

  11. RZL coding (reverse zero-run length) [Wong] How to embed data into all-zero cover • Message is divided into disjoint segments of k bits, each of which is converted to a integer d∈[0,2k-1]; skip d zeros in the cover, and flip the (d+1)th zero. • Our method: improve RZL by the idea of ZZW construction • A construction consists of two layers: • The outer layer: only embed one bit; • The inner layer: when embedding bit “1” in the outer layer, embed another k bits with RZL; otherwise skip 2k zeros.

  16. Comparison: Embedding efficiency vs. embedding rate Embedding efficiency e is defined as number of bits embedded by unit distortion, i.e. e=ρ/Δ=L/d.
