| This paper presents an algorithm in spatial domain which gives less distortion to the cover image
during embedding process. Minimizing embedding impact and maximizing embedding capacity
are the key factors of any steganography algorithm. Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) is the
familiar metric used in discriminating the distorted image (stego image) and cover image. Here
matrix embedding technique is chosen to embed the secret image which is initially Huffman
encoded. The Huffman encoded image is overlaid on the selected bits of all the channels of
pixels of cover image through matrix embedding. As a result, the stego image is constructed with
very less distortion when compared to the cover image ends up with higher PSNR value. A secret
image which cannot be embedded in a normal LSB embedding technique can be overlaid in this
proposed technique since the secret image is Huffman encoded. Experimental results for
standard cover images, which obtained higher PSNR value during the operation is shown in this
paper. |
