An Information Hiding Algorithm for Color Images Using the Luminance Component
Hongmei Liu · Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis Sunyatseni · 2001
An information hiding algorithm for color images using the luminance component is proposed. This algo-rithm not only can hide data as many as 2048 bytes, but also can implement blind extraction of the hidden informa-tion without resorting to the original image and any side information. The proposed algorithm adopts error- correcting coding and data interleaving techniques to improve the performance of resisting diverse attacks. The algorithm trades off the conflict of invisibility and robustness of the invisible watermark well. The experimental results show that the hidden watermark is robust to most attacks in StirMark.
