Abstract
Reversible data hiding (RDH) is an approach that emphasizes the imperceptibility of hidden confidential data and the restoration of the original cover image. To achieve these objectives at the same time, in this paper, we design a matrix-based crossover data hiding strategy and then propose a novel matrix-based RDH scheme with dual meaningful image shadows, called MRA-VSS (matrix-based reversible and authenticable visual secret-sharing). Each pixel in a secret image is divided into two parts, and each part is embedded into a cover pixel pair by referring to the intersection point of four overlapping frames. During the share construction phase, not only partial information of the pixel in a secret image but also authentication codes are embedded into the corresponding cover pixel pair. Finally, two meaningful image shadows are derived. The experimental results confirm that our designed MRA-VSS successfully embeds pixels’ partial information and authentication code into cover pixel pairs at the cost of slight distortion during data hiding. Nevertheless, the robustness of our scheme under the steganalysis attack and the authentication capability of our scheme are also proven.
