Abstract
In this paper, we propose a practical adaptive embedding methodology based on Successive Cancellation (SC) polar coding. The new proposed SC-based Polar Coding Steganography (SC-PCS) defines message bits as frozen bits of the SC decoder and computes path metrics according to embedding costs of pixels of the cover image. Simulation results demonstrate that SC-PCS minimizes an arbitrary embedding distortion while embedding covert message.
