Application of Data Steganographic Method in Video Sequences Using Histogram Shifting in the Discrete Wavelet Transform

This research paper presents efficient data steganography method in video sequences based on histogram shifting in discrete wavelet transform (DWT). The proposal DWThistogram shifting video data steganography depends on applying histogram shifting in DWT. The proposed DWThistogram shifting video data steganography is reversible and has the capability of embedding three bit per pixel, maximizing the embedding capacity and still preserving good visual quality for stego-video. The data to be hidden is not simply inserted on the wavelet coefficients but using histogram shifting for middle and high frequency bands to offer sufficient embedding room. The performance of the proposed DWT-histogram shifting video data steganography scheme is estimated and compared with existing methods in terms of payload and stego-video quality. The test results demonstrated that the proposed DWT-histogram shifting video data steganography method improved significantly the embedding capacity and still keeping the stego-video quality.
