- Abstract
In this paper a reversible data hiding scheme based on histogram shifting of host image blocks is presented. This method attempts to use full available capacity for data embedding by dividing the image into non-overlapping blocks. Applying histogram shifting to each block requires that extra information to be saved as overhead data for each block. This extra information (overhead or bookkeeping information) is used in order to extract payload and recover the block to its original state. A method to eliminate the need for this extra information is also introduced. This method uses maximum gap that exists between histogram bins for finding the value of pixels that was used for embedding in sender side. Experimental results show that the proposed method provides higher embedding capacity than the original reversible data hiding based on histogram shifting method and its improved versions in the current literature while it maintains the quality of marked image at an acceptable level.
