Abstract
With the development of multimedia editing technologies, the copyright protection has attacked more attentions. Reversible data hiding (RDH), in which the cover can be recovered losslessly, is an effect method to eliminate embedding distortions. As a typical RDH method, histogram shifting (HS) is used widely. Most existing RDH schemes based on HS usually build sharp histograms by predicting and sorting techniques. To make use of spatial correlations of multimedia, several RDH schemes based on multiple HS (MHS) are proposed to protect copyright, in which some rigid rules are used to build multiple histograms. Against images, videos have more spatial and temple correlations and it is easier to acquire sharper histograms. In this paper, a video MHS scheme based on compression sensing (CS) is proposed. As a linear sensing algorithm, CS can measure macroblock residuals by reducing corrections among pixels to acquire distinguishable macroblock features, while keeping their statistical characteristics immutable. By employing CS, macroblocks with similar characteristics cluster together to formulate multiple histograms. For each of these histograms, data embedding is implemented to reduce shifting distortions by expanding the outermost bins while other bins are unchanged. Experimental results show that the quality of most test videos in our scheme are higher than that in the state-of-art schemes.
