ABSTRACT
Combinational lossless data hiding in the spatial and frequency domains is proposed. In the spatial domain, a secret message is embedded in a host medium using the min-max algorithm to generate a stego-image. Subsequently, the stego-image is decomposed into the frequency domain via the integer wavelet transform (IWT). Then, a watermark is hidden in the low-high (LH) and high-low (HL) subbands of the IWT domain using the coefficient-bias approach. Simulations show that the perceptual quality of the image generated by the proposed method and the method¡¦s hiding capability are good. Moreover, the mixed images produced by the proposed method are robust against attacks such as JPEG2000, JPEG, brightness adjustment, and inversion.
