IRJET- An Improved Technique for Hiding Secret Image on Colour Images using DWT, DCT, SVD
0 likes22 views
This document presents a hybrid steganography technique that embeds a secret image into a cover image using discrete wavelet transform (DWT), discrete cosine transform (DCT), and singular value decomposition (SVD). The cover image is decomposed using DWT and its high frequency components are replaced with the secret image, which is first decomposed using SVD and DCT. Experimental results show correlation coefficients above 0.999 when extracting the secret image, indicating high quality extraction. The technique provides improved steganography by embedding the secret image in the visually insensitive high frequency components of the cover image.

1.2 DCT and SVD
For Discrete Cosine Transformation the functions of the
oscillation coefficient in various frequencies reveal a limited
sequence of data points in total. Discrete Cosine
Transformation works to highlight images within the areas
of different frequencies. During the quantisation, the
abstraction part is actually present lower mainstream
frequencies, only the most important frequencies are
preserved and retrieve to the original image. As a result,
some of the reconstructed pictures have been distorted.
When the compression level is adjusted,qualityofimagecan
be adjusted. But the human eye can only identify if the
distortion reaches to a certain level.
P(x,y) is the x, yth element of the image represented by
the matrix p. N represents the size of the block that the DCT
is done. The equation calculates one entry (ith, jth) of the
transformed image from pixel values of the original image
matrix. For the standard 8X8 block the compression uses
N=8 and x and y ranges from 0 t0 7. In the case of
steganography DCT is very much helpful because the non-
abstraction frequency region can be used for theinsertion of
stegano data.
Singular Value Decomposition is a method of changing
variables basically a group that exposes different
relationships on the original matrices. Also, we can say that,
SVD is a method of detection. Sorting levels of the
information points differ greatly. SVD identifies where most
are variable and find it and optimal measurementofkeydata
points using lower levels. So, SVD can be seen as a method
for reducing data. According to Singular Value
Decomposition, Let us consider an m x n matrix A converted
to a factorised form where U will be a unitary matrix of the
same size of A, is a rectangular diagonal matrix of same size.
V is also having the size of A and it will be a unitary matrix.
Here U (m n) and V (m n) are orthogonal matrices so that
and where I is the identity matrix.

3. PROPOSED ALGORITHM
In this research steganography is achieved using a hybrid
steganographic scheme by applying DWT, DCT,SVDoncover
image as well as secret image.
Fig- 3: DWT Tree algorithm
The cover image is DWT transformed and we get the
coefficients LL, LH, HL, HH. The higher frequency part is
separated and again it will undergo the DWT
transformations. Then we will get the coefficients LL1, LH1,
HL1, HH1. After this second transformation the highest
frequency part is then cosine transformed using the DCT
function. As a result of this pre-process the secret image of
size one by quarter of the cover image istakenanditwillsplit
to three parts, two orthogonal unitary non-negativematrixU
and V and a diagonal matrix . All these matrices having the
size same as the secret image. Discrete cosine
transformations are appliedtothedecomposedsecretimage.
Separatecosine transformations are done for the matricesU,
V and . Cosine transformed portion of the cover image and
the secrete image are of same class and dimensions.
Embeding secret image on the cover image is now easy
because the image parts belongs to same class. High
frequency part of the cover image is very less sensitive to the
human eye, so that portion is replaced with the transformed
secret image. All inverse transformations are applied to the
cover image to make it viewable and it is transmitted over a
distance. In decoding session, the highest frequency part of
the steganographicimageisseparatedusingDWTtreeandby
applying cosine transformation the secret image parts
filtered out. Inverse cosinetransformationsareappliedtothe
filtered value, which are in the format of Singular value
decomposed and the values are multiplied using the formula
and hence the secret image is reconstructed.

3. CONCLUSIONS
This paper describes a method of hybrid steganographic
scheme using the combination of DWT, DCT and SVD. The
secret image is hiding inside the cover image by replacing
the HH1, HL1, LH1 portions of the cover image decomposed
by DWT tree transform. By using this method, the generated
cover image having less distortion which is not identified by
the human eye because the minute changes in the high
frequency values are less identified by human eye. The
performance is evaluated in the terms of normalized
correlation coefficient. In this research work, different
images with different resolutions are used for experiment.
The important feature of this work is that the correlation
coefficient for the secret image which is exactly one quarter
of the cover image is 1.000. which indicates, at the time of
extraction the data’s of secret image is cent percent
recovered when the secret image is 1/4th in size with
respect to the cover image. In other cases, the correlation
factor is less than unity and it is closely related to unity. The
average value of correlation is also very closed to unity,
indicates the better quality of the decoded image.

Digital audio, video and images are increasingly different, but they have specific references that may contain a late copyright notice or serial number otherwise it will be unauthorized copies. Content of Multimedia will have been attacked and unauthorized reproduction of digital multimedia data by the hackers. To detect and protect copyright ownership, digital reservoirs have been built to respond to the growing demand for intellectual property protection. In our work the digital steganography algorithm is a hybrid scheme based on a Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Discrete Cosine Transformation and (DCT) Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). The cover image is Wavelet decomposed to two levels and cosine transformed by one level. The Singular Value Decomposed message image is then cosine transformed and embedded with the cover image by replacing the least prominent datas. Key Words: Discrete Wavelet Transformations (DWT), Discrete Cosine Transformations (DCT), Singular Value Decompositions (SVD), Human Visual System (HVS), Peake Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Diamond Encoding and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DE-DWT), XieBeni integrated Fuzzy C-means clustering (XFCM), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). 1. INTRODUCTION Now a day’s the digital data transmission over the wired and wireless channels are facing the big problem due to the illegal access of the data. Dedicated communication channels for each communication is impossible all time. Shared media or wireless communication channels are preferred for communicating digital multimedia data like images and videos to reduce the cost of communication. There arises the legal problem of piracy and copyright. In this case, for achieving the secrecy and authenticity, several cyphering methods are adopted like secret keying, watermarking, and steganography etc. steganographic technology can be applied for image, voice, video data. Here we are illustrating an improved method for hiding an image within an image without losing the data’s and also explained the normalised correlation factor for the steganographic images with various resolution secret images. In order to achieve security several steganographicschemes are applied in different studies.Multipletransformations are getting most effective than a single transformation. Steganography is not cryptography, but for secret privacy, then multiply data encrypted by stenographer. Thegoal isto create an image in the same way as a human eye but if necessary it gives its constructive recognition than the owner's key. Transform-domain technologycombinescover image and secret images bycontrollingthesizeoftransform- domains like DWT and DCT. More information and vulnerabilities can be changed against common attacks- Modified domain modes, but the cost of these procedures is higher in the Transform-domain steganographic system. 1.1 HVS and DWT A powerful analogy thatleadstothewidelyusedtechnique – Human Visual System (HVS) images are Discrete Wavelet Transformations (DWT). Discrete Wavelet Transformations can be used as an effective version of Frequency models for HVS. DWT is a transformational strategy by interrupting the image at a new time and frequency band of Low frequency, medium and high frequency input image. The Filterselection depends on the type of signal analyzed. The following filters like Haar, Daubechies, Biorthogonal, Meyer, Morlet, Mexican Hat, Daubechies. Coiflets & Symlet can be used with Discrete Wavelet Transformation, Fig- 1: DWT Transformation 1.2 Two-dimensional DWT DWT method can be used for decomposition of input image to multi stage transform according to the frequency. For a two-dimensional image two-dimensional DWT transformation is used. The first level ofDWTiscomposedof approximately equivalent length coefficient in column wise, and the second is made of raw wise with a down sampling of two, the third group combines vertical wavelet s coefficient, and fourth has diagonal coefficient.
