A Novel Method for Image Steganography Based on Texture Features
Tawfiq A. Al-Asadi, Mohammad Bany Baker · 2014
In this paper, we have introduced a new method for image steganography based on the nature of cover (image) texture, the system consist of two stages, in the first stage we segment the image into isolated regions and then cluster the segments of cover image to determine the segments with highest frequencies, and then use this segments as a region to hide the message. We proposed a new method to hide each byte of message in each row of that region individually. In the second stage (message extraction), we apply segmentation on the stego image and clustering the segments to determine the highest frequencies and apply the invers of hiding algorithm to extract the message.
