| الوصف: | Reversible data hiding (RDH) schemes based on pixel value ordering have gained significant popularity due to their unique capability of providing high-quality marked images with a decent embedding capacity, while also enabling secret information extraction and the lossless recovery of the original images at the receiving side. However, the marked image quality may be distorted severely when the pixel value ordering (PVO) method is employed in a layer-wise manner to increase the embedding capacity. In this paper, a new high-capacity RDH scheme using a complementary strategy is introduced to overcome the limitation of the image quality in the case of layer-wise embedding. The proposed RDH scheme first divides the cover image into non-overlapping blocks of 2 × 2 pixels uniformly and then sorts the pixels of each block according to their intensity values. The secret data are then embedded into two layers. In the first layer, the minimum value of the block is decreased and the maximum value is increased by either 1 or 2 to embed the secret data bits. The second layer is used as a complement to the first layer and is in symmetry with the first layer. In the second layer, the proposed RDH scheme increases the minimum valued pixel and decreases the maximum valued pixel in order to minimize the distortion resulting from the first layer embedding and to embed an additional amount of the secret data. As a result, the proposed RDH scheme significantly increases the embedding capacity, which is clearly evident from the conducted experimental results. |
