Abstract

This paper presents an advanced method of graphical data protection. The novelty of the proposed method consists in the use of bits correspondence scheme, Huffman tree, and specific data encoding based on variable length of color hue code. The steganographic stability evaluation of the proposed method is presented and discussed in the paper. The application of the method to the technology of archive medical image processing is discussed as well.
