A New Steganography Algorithm Based on Spatial Domain

We construct and implement a new Steganography algorithm based on spatial domain to hide a large amount of information into color BMP image. It utilizes the arrangement of the secret data to compensate distortion, which is called fixed LSBs(Least Significant Bits) substitution methods. The method is no need of referencing the original image when extracting the hided data from the stego-image. Our experimental results show the proposed method can reach the high capacity with good image quality.
