Abstract
En 中文
Reversible data hiding in encrypted images (RDHEI) has gained significant popularity among security and privacy researchers as well as users, because of its features such as reversibility, embedding capacity (EC), and security. To enlarge the EC while ensuring the complete reversibility and security, we propose a bit-plane based RDHEI method based on multi-level blocking with quad-tree. The proposed method uses median edge detector (MED) as well as difference predictor to transform the original input image into a low-magnitude difference matrix. The difference matrix is then encoded by first employing a novel quad-tree based bit-plane representation strategy to exploit the intra-bit plane correlation and subsequently by inter bit-plane redundancy mitigation strategy to exploit inter bit-plane level correlation, for significantly condensing their size. Thus, a bigger room is reserved inside the cover image for embedding, so that a large amount of secret data can be hidden while ensuring the complete reversibility of the image. Experimental results validate the superiority of the proposed method over the state-of-the-art methods.
