Index LOCO-I: A hybrid method of data hiding and image compression

Abstract

This paper proposes an approach for the combined data hiding scheme with LOCO-I/JPEG-LS image compression algorithm. We present a new embedded image coder and investigate the lossless and near-lossless performance of these transforms in the propose coder. We will present our proposed encoder/decoder scheme of SNR scalability layer. Our scheme has brought a tremendous improvement on providing progressive transmission with JPEG-LS. By modifying lossless predictive coding techniques, near-lossless coding based on predictive in conjunction with data hiding, and plus a partially layer scheme. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
