Image data hiding with multi-scale autoencoder network

Understand

mage steganography is the process of hiding information which can be text, image, or video inside a cover image.

• The advantage of steganography over cryptography is that the intended secret message does not attract attention and is thus more suitable for secret communication in a highly-surveillant environment such as civil disobedience movements.
• Internet memes in social media and messaging apps have become a popular culture worldwide, so this folk custom is a good application scenario for image steganography.
• We try to explore and adopt the steganography techniques on the Internet memes in this work.
