Simulation based Performance Analysis of Histogram Shifting Method on Various Cover Images

In this paper we have simulated and analyzed histogram shifting method on different types of cover images. Secret image which is used to hide in cover image is called payload. We have analyzed this algorithm in MATLAB simulation tool. This analysis is performed to find out the performance of this method on different types of cover images. We have analyzed this to find out how much accuracy can we get when extracting payload from cover image. We have computed peak signal to noise ratio, mean square error.
