Steganography on thermal images using generation technique

Abstract

Steganography on thermal image using generation method, where a secret thermal image is hidden in a generated cover image. Generated cover image is a unique image thereby providing more security and robustness. The generated cover image provides high capacity as the whole image for hiding thermal image by keeping low visual changes. Using thermal image gives more security as it is a rare image which is widely used in military purpose. The algorithm used here is highly resistant against RS, Sample pair, X2 and DCT based attacks.
