A High Payload Steganographic Scheme Based on (7, 4) Hamming Code for Digital Images

Abstract

High payload information hiding schemes with the good visual quality of stego images are suitable for steganographic applications such as online content distribution systems. This paper proposes a novel steganographic scheme based on the (7, 4) Hamming code for digital images.The proposed scheme embeds a segment of seven secret bits into a group of seven cover pixels at a time. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme achieves a double embedding payload and a slightly lower visual quality of stego images compared with the related works.
