description | High definition video application has drawn a lot of interest both from academy and industry. The relevant latest video coding technology, H.265/HEVC has been a promising area for video steganography. In this paper, we present a novel and efficient video steganography method based on transform block decision for H.265. In order to improve the visual quality of carrier video, we analyze the embedding error of data hiding with modifying partitioning parameters of CB, PB and TB, and modify the transform block decision to embed secret message and update corresponding residuals synchronously. In order to limit embedding error, we utilize an efficient embedding mapping rule which can embed N (N>1) bits message and at most modify one bit transform partitioning flag. Our experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve better visual quality, larger embedding capacity and less bit-rate increase than state-of-the-art researches. |
