Abstract The fast growth in the demand and consumption of the digital multimedia content in the previous period has led to some effective concerns over issues such as content security, digital rights management, and authenticity. Hiding Data is an important way of recognizing copyright protection for digital multimedia. Digital video/images became very common choice for hiding data and the selection of suitable pixels in the video frames, which are used to store the secret data, is very important for an effective and successful embedding process. If pixels are not selected sensibly, undesired spatial and temporal perception problems occur in the stego-video. Toward this direction, This thesis presents two efficient data hiding algorithms in Video Sequences. The first proposed algorithm is based on hiding data in video sequences using steganography in the spatial domain. The proposed algorithm will concentrate on the use of digital video/images as cover to hide data. The proposed steganography algorithm makes use of color histograms for data embedding into video sequences directly. This algorithm is characterized by the ability of hiding bigger size of data and the ability of extracting the written text without errors, besides it gives a high level of authentication to guarantee integrity of the video/ images before being extracted. Both the capacity of data hiding and the video quality of generated video are simultaneously improved. Experimental results show that the proposed data hiding algorithm in video sequences not only can improve the payload capacity but also can maintain good video quality. In the second proposed algorithm, a reversible data hiding algorithm in video sequences based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and histogram shifting is proposed. The proposed algorithm is a hybrid data hiding algorithm based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and histogram shifting for data IV hiding. In this algorithm, pre-processing the video sequence is employed and frame conversion is done. The secret message is not embedded directly on the wavelet coefficients but by shifting parts of histogram of high frequency subbands to make space for data hiding. Finally, the secret message is extracted from the stego-video. Experimental results show that the second proposed algorithm outperforms efficiently in terms of high payload capacity (at the same PSNR) and maintains high stego-video quality after hiding data (higher PSNR at the same payload) , the second proposed algorithm restores the original video as well as extracts hidden data from stego-video. |
