| description | Existing cover selection methods for steganography cannot resist pooled steganalysis. This paper proposes a secure cover selection method which is able to resist pooled steganalysis and single object steganalysis meanwhile. To resist pooled steganalysis, the maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) distance between the stego set and a clear arbitrary image set is kept not larger than a normal threshold during cover selection, where the threshold is the MMD distance between two clear arbitrary image sets. Under this constraint, a searching strategy is designed to select the minimal steganographic distortion images within the affordable computational complexity to resist single object steganalysis. With the selected covers, the security of steganography is guaranteed against both single object steganalysis and pooled steganalysis. The experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method. |
