Neural network based steganalysis in still images

Seganalysis has recently attracted researchers’ interests with the development of information hiding techniques. In this paper we propose a new method based neural network to get statistics features of images to identify the underlying hidden data. We first extract features of image embedded information, then input them into neural network to get output. And experiment results indicate this method is valid in steganalysis. This method will be used for internet/network security, watermarking and so on.
