This paper presents a new data hiding technique for embedding text data in image using contourlet transform. The image is first contourlet transformed and then text is embedded. The embedding and extraction algorithms are presented in this paper. The text data is first converted to ASCII format and then an encryption algorithm is applied which provides additional security. A digit of data is embedded by modifying the least significant digit of a contourlet coefficient. A high frequency directional pass band from the contourlet transform is selected for data embedding. High capacity can be achieved using this method. The capacity depends on the number of levels in contourlet decomposition and how many subbands we have selected for embedding.The proposed method is also implemented in other transform domains and spatial domain.The result is also compared with LSB manipulation method. Image features like Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), variance, skewness etc are analyzed and found that the proposed method outperforms the existing methods.read more

The Laplacian Pyramid as a Compact Image Code
Peter J. Burt,Edward H. Adelson +1 more
TL;DR: A technique for image encoding in which local operators of many scales but identical shape serve as the basis functions, which tends to enhance salient image features and is well suited for many image analysis tasks as well as for image compression.

The contourlet transform: an efficient directional multiresolution image representation
Minh N. Do,Martin Vetterli +1 more
TL;DR: A "true" two-dimensional transform that can capture the intrinsic geometrical structure that is key in visual information is pursued and it is shown that with parabolic scaling and sufficient directional vanishing moments, contourlets achieve the optimal approximation rate for piecewise smooth functions with discontinuities along twice continuously differentiable curves.

TL;DR: A directionally oriented 2-D filter bank with the property that the individual channels may be critically sampled without loss of information is introduced and it is shown that these filter bank outputs may be maximally decimated to achieve a minimum sample representation in a way that permits the original signal to be exactly reconstructed.
