Abstract:
This paper describes a new method of predicting image distortion patterns in image steganography by using fractal computing. The method uses the successive random addition algorithm to simulate the image distortion patterns of embedding a secret image in an ‘innocent’ cover image, testing the fractal-like behaviour of image distortion patterns. The distortion patterns identified in the experimental data are characterised by a fractal Hurst parameter, which can be used to make predictions of future trends.
