Abstract
En 中文
This letter focus on a practical scenario of cover selection for steganography, in which a part of the available images of the sender have been processed to improve visual quality, e.g., contrast enhancement, image denoising. In this case, not only the embedding distortion (caused by steganography), but also the processing distortion (caused by processing) should be considered when selecting cover image. We propose a cover selection method to combine the two kinds of distortion together to measure the suitability for steganography of the available images. To calculate the processing distortion, a classifier is trained to distinguish the processed images with the original ones. The classifier is then used to measure the possibility of the existence of processing. High possibility means high processing distortion. In addition, the current distortion minimization framework designed for steganography is employed to calculate the embedding distortion. Finally, both kinds of distortion are combined to form the total distortion, and the image with the minimal total distortion is selected as cover. Using the selected image for embedding, high undetectability can be achieved.
