Wavelet Multi Resolution Analysis based Data Hiding with Scanned Secrete Images

Wavelet Multi Resolution Analysis (MRA) based data hiding with scanned secrete images is proposed for improvement of invisibility of the secrete images. Daubechies (biorthogonal basis was adopted as the wavelet, but it was demonstrated that the key image (or secret image data) information can be restored with the biorthogonal wavelet. Also, the information of what to adopt as the biorthogonal wavelet is hidden. Key image information can also be protected by doing so, that the horizontal biorthogonal wavelet of the image does not have to be the same as the vertical biorthogonal wavelet, and the insertion position of the secret image data can be freely selected. It is also possible to divide the bit string of the secret image data and insert it into an arbitrary high frequency component, that the information hiding capability changes depending on the number of bit strings (information amount) of the secret image data, and the secret image in the public image data. Random scanning is effective for improving the visibility of data, selection of scanning method type, random number initial value It was shown that sharing only among parties is useful for improving confidentiality, resistance to noise, resistance to data compression, and resistance to tampering with data.
