Trellis coded quantization for data hiding

Abstract

The intrusion of information theoretic tools into the data hiding realm lead to the design and analysis of new blind detection methods. Although an extended analysis has already been built on different quantization-based data hiding methods, we propose another quantization-based method, which uses trellis coded quantization. The performance of the proposed method is compared against other well-known methods by simulations. The promising results show that the proposed method can be preferred in certain applications.
