Reversible Data Hiding

Reversible Data Hiding

초록/요약

Reversible data hiding (RDH) is a well known field in multimedia applications, because it allows embedding data in the image so that the reconstruction of the original image from the embedded image, also known as watermarked image, is possible. This way, the relevant image and the information is kept under one file making it convenient. Digital contents management, data hiding for military and medical uses are one of the few usages. RDH is also useful in automatic image enhancement (AIE). AIE techniques enhance the images so that average users can enjoy high quality images without needing to worry about enhancement. However, since users may not always appreciate the enhancement or want the copy of the original image, the original image must be kept or the enhancement must be reversible: RDH technique which also enhances is a perfect candidate for AIE, as original image is recoverable from the enhanced image. Using RDH in this way provides file size reduction feature, when compared to storing both the original and the enhanced image.
