摘要
Recently, Ma et al. proposed an efficient error propagation-free discrete cosine transform-based (DCT-based) data hiding algorithm that embeds data in H.264/AVC intra frames. In their algorithm, only 46% of the 4 × 4 luma blocks can be used to embed hidden bits. In this paper, we propose an improved error propagation-free DCT-based perturbation scheme that fully exploits the remaining 54% of luma blocks and thereby doubles the data hiding capacity of Ma et al.'s algorithm. Further, in order to preserve the visual quality and increase the embedding capacity of the embedded video sequences, a new set of sifted 4 × 4 luma blocks is considered in the proposed DCT-based perturbation scheme. The results of experiments on twenty-six test video sequences confirm the embedding capacity superiority of the proposed improved algorithm while keeping the similar human visual effect in terms of SSIM (structural similarity) index.

N1 - Funding Information: We have presented a new data hiding algorithm to resolve the capacity limitation problem in Ma et al.'s data hiding algorithm for H.264/AVC intra frames. The contribution of this work is threefold. First, unlike Ma et al.'s algorithm, the proposed scheme exploits the fifth block category, which accounts for 54% of all luma blocks. Further, for preserving the visual quality and increasing the embedding capacity, a new set of sifted 4 × 4 luma blocks is considered in the proposed DCT-based perturbation scheme. Based on twenty-six test video sequences, experimental results confirm the embedding capacity superiority of the proposed improved algorithm while keeping the similar human visual effect in terms of SSIM index.
