Abstract

Data security plays an important role in today’s digital world. There is a potential need to do the research in the field of image morphing and steganography for data security. The development of morphing over the past years allows an organization into three categories of morphing algorithms namely geometric, interpolation and specialized algorithms depending upon the pixel mapping procedure. It gives an insight of how an appropriate morphing method is useful for different steganographic methods categorized into spatial domain, transform-based domain, spread spectrum, statistical and Internet Protocol. The geometric transformation morphing methods are more suitable in spatial domain steganography. This chapter includes the review of different morphing and steganography techniques. Hybrid approaches using morphing for steganography have a special status among steganographic systems as they combine both the features of morphing and steganography to overcome the shortcomings of individual methods.
