Abstract

Stego-images are often contaminated by interchannel noise or active noise attack when communicating on the Web. And it is challenging to restore embedded image from corrupted stego-image. This paper studies a kNN-bit approximation algorithm to remove noises in embedded image. The proposed algorithm distinguishes reliable bits from extracted bits, and estimates pixel values by keeping reliable bits unchanged and correcting unreliable bits. Specifically, the 8th (highest) unreliable bit of a pixel can be approximated with its nearest neighbor pixels. And then, if an unreliable bit locates at any one of the 5th∼7th bits of a pixel, it is adjusted with two nearest neighbors of the pixel, where the pixel is in-between these two nearest neighbors. Finally, for other unreliable bits, each one is approximated by the maximum and minimum possible values of nearest neighbors of its pixel. We conduct experiments for illustrating the efficiency, and demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can recover the embedded images with good visual quality from corrupted stego-images.
