In this paper, an effective method was introduced to steganography of text document in the host image. In the available steganography methods, the message has a random form. Therefore, the embedding capacity is generally low. In the proposed method, the main underlying idea was the sparse property of scanned documents. The scanned documents were converted from gray-level form to binary values by halftoning idea and then the information-included parts were extracted using the improved quadtree and separated from document context. Next, in order to compress the extracted parts, an algorithm was proposed based on reading the binary string bits, ignoring the zero behind the number, and converting them to decimal values. Embedding capacity of the proposed method is higher than that of other available methods with a random-based message. Therefore, the proposed method can be used in the secure and intangible transfer of text documents in the host image.
@cite_27 , AMBTC compression-based steganography in an image was presented, in which the input image was converted to @math of its original size, and then the compressed pixels were dispersed in a particular way in an image, which was the same size as the original image. The empty pixels were calculated through the proposed interpolation ASAI method. An AMBTC compression resulted in a reduction in quality of the embedded image. In this method, amount of PSNR and embedding capacity was 33.39 dB and 1.2 bpp that both criteria had low values.

Abstract It is a hot topic in the design of information hiding algorithm by a combination of compressed technique and interpolation technique in the future. Higher capacity and better image quality are one of the foremost research contents of information hiding. In recent years, an adaptive information hiding has been a hot content of research in the field of information hiding and network security. This paper proposed an adaptive image steganography using absolute moment block truncation coding compression (AMBTC compression) and interpolation technique (ASAI), which can improve the performance of information hiding scheme. The ASAI scheme proposed can offer the benefits of high embedding capacity with low computational complexity and good image quality. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed ASAI scheme has superior performance than others. Abstract In this paper, we proposes high payload reversible data hiding scheme using weighted matrix. Generate cover image by enlarge the size of original image using interpolation. Partition the original image into (3 × 3) pixel blocks and cover image into (5 × 5) blocks. Perform modular sum of entry-wise multiplication of an (3 × 3) original pixel block with same size shared predefined weighted matrix W . At most twelve multiplication operations are performed to embed 48 bits secret data within an (5 × 5) overlapped pixel block. In each operation, the data embedding position are identified and stored the positional value by modifying three least significant bits of the interleaved pixel of cover image to hide large amount of secret data. For i -th block i = 1, 2, …, we update the weighted matrix W i +1 as W i +1 = ( W i × κ − 1) mod 9, where gcd ( κ , 9) = 1. The original pixels are not effected during data embedding in our scheme which assure reversibility. The proposed scheme provides average embedding payload 2.97 bits per pixel (bpp) with good visual quality measured by peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) guaranteed to be higher than 37.97 dB. Finally, we compare our scheme with other state-of-the-art methods and obtain reasonably better performance in terms of data embedding capacity. At low bit rates, better coding quality can be achieved by downsampling the image prior to compression and estimating the missing portion after decompression. This paper presents a new algorithm in such a paradigm, based on the adaptive decision of appropriate downsampling directions ratios and quantization steps, in order to achieve higher coding quality with low bit rates with the consideration of local visual significance. The full-resolution image can be restored from the DCT coefficients of the downsampled pixels so that the spatial interpolation required otherwise is avoided. The proposed algorithm significantly raises the critical bit rate to approximately 1.2 bpp, from 0.15-0.41 bpp in the existing downsample-prior-to-JPEG schemes and, therefore, outperforms the standard JPEG method in a much wider bit-rate scope. The experiments have demonstrated better PSNR improvement over the existing techniques before the critical bit rate. In addition, the adaptive mode decision not only makes the critical bit rate less image-independent, but also automates the switching coders in variable bit-rate applications, since the algorithm turns to the standard JPEG method whenever it is necessary at higher bit rates In this paper, we construct and implement a new Steganography algorithm based on learning system to hide a large amount of information into color BMP image. We have used adaptive image filtering and adaptive non-uniform image segmentation with bits replacement on the appropriate pixels. These pixels are selected randomly rather than sequentially by using new concept defined by main cases with sub cases for each byte in one pixel. According to the steps of design, we have been concluded 16 main cases with their sub cases that covere all aspects of the input information into color bitmap image. High security layers have been proposed through four layers of security to make it difficult to break the encryption of the input information and confuse steganalysis too. Learning system has been introduces at the fourth layer of security through neural network. This layer is used to increase the difficulties of the statistical attacks. Our results against statistical and visual attacks are discussed before and after using the learning system and we make comparison with the previous Steganography algorithm. We show that our algorithm can embed efficiently a large amount of information that has been reached to 75 of the image size (replace 18 bits for each pixel as a maximum) with high quality of the output.
