Description
Summary:We proposed an innovative reversible data hiding technique that is formulated on histogram shifting by using multilayer localized n-bit truncation image (LBPTI), namely, generated form 8-bit plane by means of efficient lossless compression. After selecting the reference point from the block, the neighbor topmost points are used to attain the data embedding without modifying the peak point; in addition, the key information regarding peak point is not mandatory in extraction end to extract the secret information. In order to make the embedded cover-image similar to the histogram of original cover-image, we exploited the localization with efficient lossless compression on lower block level to increase the embedding capacity while controlling extra bit to expand additional embedding capacity on optimum level besides sustaining the quality of cover-image.
