HPS: HISTOGRAM PRESERVING STEGANOGRAPHY IN SPATIAL DOMAIN Muhammad Hilmi Bin Kamarudin *Yinan Wang, *Weirong Chen, *C.-T.Li, *Yue Li and *Wei Wang Objective • Improve current research in steganography by proposed preserving histogram method that will make it immune to several steganalysis method. To minimize the distortion and preserve the embedding by separates the grey intensity scale into small segments, where the embedding process will only affect on the grey intensity in the same segment. • Method • Data Embedding- The algorithm ensures the pixels to be embedded will only be changed to another intensity in the same segment Data Extraction- Inverse process of embedding that use constant number generator to keep the random number same as the original. • Result • Attacking Test on detection of symmetry shows the proposed algorithm is almost unrecognizable where the estimation and ground truth have huge difference. 2
