Histogram Shifting as a Data Hiding Technique: An Overview of Recent Developments

  • Conference paper
Digital Information and Communication Technology and Its Applications (DICTAP 2011)

Part of the book series: Communications in Computer and Information Science ((CCIS,volume 166))

Abstract

Histogram shifting is a data hiding technique which has been proposed since 2004. In this paper, we provide an overview of recent contributions pertaining to the Histogram shifting technique. It discusses on this method and its development in terms of payload capacity and image quality. From these discussions, we can state that which schemes are beneficial in terms of capacity-PSNR control. Overally, Histogram shifting is a valuable technique. Its practical applications are expected to grow in years to come.
