Abstract

This paper proposes a joint scheme of data hiding and style transfer, which embeds secret data during the procedure of transferring natural images into comic styles. While most data hiding algorithms employ clean images as covers, we employ the processed images that are popular on social networks. The style transfer based data hiding includes two phases. In the first phase, we brighten the image and remove the details by enhancing the saturation and smoothing the content. In the second phase, we propose an edge marker embedding based algorithm to enhance the contours and generate comic-style stego images. Experimental results show that the proposed approach provides a large embedding capacity and a good capability of resisting steganalysis.
