报告简介：Reversible data hiding (RDH) is a specific data hiding technique in which both the embedded data and the original cover image can be exactly extracted from the marked image. In this paper, we present a general expansion-shifting model for RDH by introducing the so-called reversible embedding function (REF) which maps each point of Z^n to a non-empty subset of Z^n. Moreover, to guarantee the reversibility, the mapped subsets of distinct points should be disjointed to each other. With REF, RDH can be designed and the corresponding rate-distortion formulations can be established, providing an approach to optimize the embedding performance. Some examples of REF are given for a better illustration, and a preliminary theoretical investigation on REF is conducted as well. Then, optimal REF for one-dimensional histogram is investigated, and all optimal REF are derived in this case when the maximum modification to the cover pixel is limited as a small value. Finally, based on the optimal REF for one-dimensional histogram and the idea of multiple histograms modification, a practical RDH scheme is presented and it is experimental verified better than some state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of capacity-distortion performance.
