Abstract
En 中文
Pixel value ordering (PVO) prediction has become a research hotspot in reversible data hiding community and existing achievements have proved the necessity of predicting more pixels in a block. The increase in predicted pixels is beneficial to fully exploiting the redundancy of the cover image, but a single reference pixel may lead to decreased prediction quality. Given this situation, this paper proposes to develop PVO in correlated pixels construction and introduce morphology as an important theoretical tool. Several largest pixels in a block are first selected as candidate reference pixels which are to be activated in descending order. Except for the last one, each active reference pixel is used to predict all pixels to generate a correlation matrix, on which the dilation operation is carried out to pick out connected pixels that are likely to be strongly correlated with the reference pixel. Whether to activate the next reference pixel depends on the presence of disconnected pixels. Once the last reference pixel is activated, all remaining pixels will be taken as connected pixels. After the first round of embedding ends, several smallest pixels are similarly selected as candidate reference pixels to realize the second round of embedding. Experimental results demonstrate that satisfactory superiority in fidelity is achieved, e.g., the average PSNR for the Kodak image database is 63.85 dB with an embedding capacity of 10,000 bits.
