A secure video steganography scheme using DWT based on object tracking

ABSTRACT Videos are nowadays the most frequent and easy mode of communication over the internet; the reason behind the growth is the accessibility to video processing software available on the internet. Video steganography is a field where the data is embedded in video keeping the visual quality of the video intact. This study presents a new video steganography scheme with a stable trade-off between robustness and imperceptibility using 2D-DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform) based on object detection and tracking. The main contribution of this paper includes embedding of secret data in the moving objects after applying object detection for the video frames where the secret bits are embedded in middle frequency sub-bands after applying 2D-DWT. To highlight the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, experimental results are carried out both quantitatively and qualitatively where quantitative analysis is done using different metrics such as PSNR, SSIM, BER and qualitative analysis is done using visual results of the frames. The experimental results illustrated that the proposed approach outperforms existing techniques in terms of qualitative and quantitative evaluation with high imperceptibility and robustness against noise attack. Eventually, the scheme has also been tested against existing steganalysis techniques to ensure the security of the proposed scheme.
