Reversible Data Hiding Based on Improved Rhombus Prediction Method

Abstract

Reversible data hiding(RDH) is a research hotspot in the field of information hiding. Among them, RDH based on histogram shift(HS) is a high performance algorithm. Accurate pixel prediction can reduce image distortion while maintaining high capacity. Therefore, this paper proposes an RDH algorithm based on the improved rhombus prediction method. Experiments show that the improved rhombus prediction method can predict pixels more accurately, and the generated prediction error histogram is more compact and clear. The proposed RDH algorithm has a higher embedding capacity and a lower distortion rate.
