Abstract

Abstract

Considering the possible security problems of directly extending steganographic schemes for gray-scale images to color images, an adaptive distortion-updated steganography method is put forward based on the Modification Strategy for Color Components (CCMS). First, the correlation between color components and RGB channels is analyzed, and the principle of distortion cost modification is proposed. Moreover, the optimal modification mode is conducted to maintain the statistical correlation of adjacent components. Finally, color image steganography schemes called CCMS are proposed. The experimental results show that the proposed HILL-CCMS and WOW-CCMS make great improvement over HILL and WOW methods under 5 embedding rates in resisting state-of-the-art color steganalytic methods such as CRM and SCCRM.
