Abstract

With the development of privacy protection, reversible data hiding methods in encrypted image have drawn extensive research interest. Among them, a new method is proposed based on embedding prediction errors, i.e., EPE-based method, where secret information is embedded in the encrypted most significant bit plane. Not only the original image can be recovered with high quality but also the payload can reach close to 1 bit per pixel (bpp). However, there are potential errors in the process of extracting secret data, because most significant bits of a part of pixels are used as flags to mark prediction error location. In this paper, a reversible data hiding method in encrypted image with high capacity is proposed by combining most significant bit prediction with least significant bit compression. At first, most significant bit of each pixel is predicted and a location map of prediction errors in the original image is generated. In the same time, the original image is encrypted using a stream cipher method. Then, the location map is embedded into the vacated space generated with compressing least significant bits and the secret data is embedded into most significant bits of a part of pixels without prediction errors. In this way, the marked encrypted image is obtained. Finally, the original image can be recovered without any error and the secret information can be extracted correctly from the marked encrypted image. Experimental results show that the proposed method has better performance than EPE-based and other methods.
