Description
Summary:Video reversible data hiding technology can be applied to copyright protection, medical images, the military, and other fields, but it cannot guarantee high visual quality with an effective embedded capacity. In this paper, a high-embedding and low-distortion reversible data hiding scheme based on a discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients method is proposed. The scheme first decodes the original video stream with entropy, obtains all the DCT blocks, and selects the embeddable DCT blocks according to the capacity of the zero factor. Then, it divides the coefficients in the DCT blocks into the shift and embedding coefficients. The shift coefficients directly generate a one-dimensional histogram; the embedding coefficients generate a two-dimensional histogram according to paired strategies. Finally, the secret data can be successfully embedded according to the proposed two-dimensional histogram shift reversible data hiding scheme. This scheme performed more effectively than existing schemes in terms of the embedded capacity, peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), and structural similarity index measure (SSIM).
