New Steganographic Technique using Neural Network

Abstract

Steganographic technique is used to hide the information, a string of characters containing the information, in a carrier image. The information is coded into individual rows of the constituent primaries of the carrier. Using this technique the neural network is employed to detect the presence of the message in the individual rows of the carrier image and to retrieve the contents of the message hidden in the carrier. This technique is able to maintain good visual quality of the carrier image. The results of this technique revealed high PSNR values and significantly less MSE values for the unmodified carrier and the steganographic image.
