Research and prospect of reversible data hiding method with contrast enhancement

Reversible data hiding methods can recover the cover image losslessly after extracting the secret message from the marked image. Such technology can be used in the certification or the label of military, justice and medical images, which are sensitive and slight modification are not allowed. Especially for the medical images, RDH technology can be used in protecting the privacy of the patient. A series of RDH methods with contrast enhancement effect were introduced and classified into pixel-based histogram methods and prediction-error-based histogram methods according to the type of carrier in RDH scheme. The main purpose of such algorithms was to improve the subjective visual quality of marked images and to embed secret data into cover image reversibly meanwhile. These series of algorithms were suitable for the research of privacy protection of medical image. Finally, future development in this direction is prospected through analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of the existing work.
