Abstract

The high-fidelity reversible data hiding aims to reduce the embedding distortion as far as possible, especially when the embedding capacity is low. To improve the embedding performance, a novel high-fidelity reversible data hiding method based on double-layered predictor is proposed. At first, the cover image is divided into two sets. The one set is used to predict the pixels in the other set according to the rhombus prediction method. Then, the prediction errors are used to embed data using pixel value ordering method. At last, the marked pixels in the first set are used to implement the process of embedding in the other set. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed predictor is the first double-layered predictor in the field of reversible data hiding. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed method can significantly improve the embedding performance of the existing high-fidelity reversible data hiding method methods, especially for the relatively smooth images.
