TY - JOUR ID - TI - Digital Image Steganography Scheme Based on DWT and SVD AU - Fadhil Kadhim Zaidan PY - 2020 VL - 13 IS - 4 SP - 10 EP - 17 JO - DIYALA JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING SCIENCES مجلة ديالى للعلوم الهندسية SN - 19998716 26166909 AB - In this work, a grayscale image steganography scheme is proposed using a discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and singular value decomposition (SVD). In this scheme, 2-level DWT is applied to a cover image to obtain the high frequency band HL2 which is utilized to embed a secret grayscale image based on the SVD technique. The robustness and the imperceptibility of the proposed steganography algorithm are controlled by a scaling factor for obtaining an acceptable trade-off between them. Peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) are used for assessing the efficiency of the proposed approach. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme still holds its validity under different known attacks such as noise addition, filtering, cropping and JPEG compression.
