Abstract
High EfficiencyVideoCoding (HEVC) −based steganography has gained attention as a prominent research focus. Especially, block structure based HEVC video steganography has received increasing attention due to commendable performance. However, current block structure- based steganography algorithms confront with challenges such as reduced coding efficiency and limited capacity. To avoid these problems, an adaptive video steganography algorithm based on Prediction Unit (PU) partition mode in I-frames is proposed. This is done through the analysis of the block division process and the visual distortion resulting from the modification of the PU partition mode in HEVC. The PU block structure is utilized as steganographic covers, and the Rate Distortion Optimization (RDO) technique is introduced to establish an adaptive distortion function for Syndrome-trellis code (STC). Further comparison is performed between the proposed method and the state-of-the-art steganography algorithms, confirming its advantages in embedding capacity, compression efficiency, visual quality, and resistance to video steganalysis.
