In this paper, we proposed an effective technique that uses location-based encryption technique and spatial encryption technique to improve security vulnerabilities in previous reversible data hiding technique that can hide twice as much confidential data as the NSAS technique. If the proposed technique is applied to hide confidential data in an image, the same amount of confidential data can be hidden compared to the previous technique, but the security of confidential data is greatly enhanced. By hiding confidential data in an image using the proposed technique, high-quality stego-image can be generated, making it impossible to visually distinguish whether confidential data is hidden in the image. Additionally, confidential data can be restored from stego-image without loss, and the original cover image can also be restored without loss. Through experiments, it was confirmed that when confidential data is hidden by applying the proposed technique, the quality of the stego-image is maintained up to 39.73dB, and the security of the stego-image is greatly strengthened.

In this paper, we propose a technique for spatially encrypting confidential data into R, G, B planes of color image and extracting spatially encrypted confidential data. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is verified by mathematically analyzing the quality of the stego-image generated using the proposed technique. The proposed technique can hide confidential data securely into cover image by spatially encrypting the confidential data, and can extract confidential data from the stego-image. The quality of the stego-image created by applying the proposed technique is very good. The average value of the quality of the stego-image is 51.14 dB. Therefore, it is not visually recognizable whether the confidential data is hidden in the stego-image. The proposed technique can be widely used for military and intellectual property protection.

Radar image data were collected through the on-line data acquisition system of A/D converter and personal computer, and the image was restorated on CRT or plotter after digital image processing of the data. The digital image processing system which was developed for this study, consisted of some kinds of software as follows : rearrangement, transformation, and enhancement of the image data in real space or frequency space by Fourier transform, edge detection of the image, compact processing, state inferential processing, and so on. Since the image of PPI radar sweeps from the center to the circumference of a circle, the image within a given period has the shape of fan. Therefore the acquired data were transformed to have the same interval as that of data in outmost concentricity. The results of various image processing methods using transformed data were better than those of the methods using original data.

In this paper, we proposed a technique for hiding the double-encrypted confidential data in the image using the pixel value of the image and the spatial encryption technique. The proposed technique inserts encrypted confidential data into the LSB of an image pixel in order to maintain high image quality. The stego-image generated by hiding the encrypted confidential data has very good quality and is visually indistinguishable from the original cover image, so that it is impossible to recognize whether the confidential data is hidden in the stego-image. It is possible to extract the original confidential data from the stego-image without loss. By conducting an experiment on the proposed technique, it was confirmed that the proposed technique is an effective technique for the practical application of data hiding. The proposed technique can be used in applications such as military and intellectual property protection that require high security.

In this paper, we propose an effective reversible data hiding technique that increases the confidential data hiding amount of the NSAS technique itself by utilizing the characteristics of image. The proposed technique shifts the histogram using multiple zeros of the histogram and hides 2 bits of confidential data at each peak point. Using the proposed technique, the amount of confidential data that can be hidden is doubled compared to the existing technique, and high-quality stego-image can be created. Confidential data can be restored without loss from the stego- image, and the original cover image can be restored without loss. Through experiments, it was confirmed that the proposed technique can hide twice as much confidential data than the existing technique, and the image quality of the stego-image is very good with a maximum of 39.75dB.

The dual image-based reversible data hiding scheme embeds secret data into two images to increase the embedding capacity of secret data. The dual image-based reversible data hiding scheme can transmit a lot of secret data. Therefore, various schemes have been proposed until recently. In 2021, Chen and Hong proposed a dual image-based reversible data hiding scheme that embeds a large amount of secret data using a reference matrix, secret data, and bit values. However, in this paper, more secret data can be embedded than Chen and Hong's scheme. To achieve this goal, the proposed scheme generates polynomials and shared values using secret sharing scheme, and embeds secret data using reference matrix and septenary number, and random value. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme can transmit more secret data to the receiver while maintaining the image quality similar to other dual image-based reversible data hiding schemes.

In this paper, we propose an image watermarking technique that effectively hides confidential data in the LSB of image pixels by utilizing the characteristics of the image. In the proposed technique, the image is precisely divided into boundary surface and normal region other than the boundary surface and performs different processing. The boundary surface existing in the image is created by meeting different regions and contains important information of the image. One bit of confidential data is concealed in the LSB of the pixel at the boundary surface to preserve the characteristics of the boundary surface. In normal region other than the boundary surface, the pixel values are similar, and the change with the adjacent pixel values is smooth. Based on this property, even if the 2 bits of confidential data are hidden in the lower 2 bits of the pixel in the normal region, the difference cannot be visually distinguished. When confidential data is concealed in an image as described above, the amount of confidential data concealed in an image can be increased while maintaining excellent image quality. Concealing confidential data by applying the proposed method increases the amount of confidential data concealed by up to 84.6% compared to the existing method. The proposed technique can be effectively used for commercial image watermarking that hides copyright information.

In this paper, we propose a very efficient reversible data hiding algorithm using spatial locality and the surface characteristics of image. Spacial locality and a variety of surface characteristics are present in natural images. So, it is possible to precisely predict the pixel value using the locality and surface characteristics of image. Therefore, the frequency is increased significantly at the peak point of the difference histogram using the precisely predicted pixel values. Thus, it is possible to increase the amount of data to be embedded in image using the spatial locality and surface characteristics of image. By using the proposed reversible data hiding algorithm, visually high quality stego-image can be generated, the embedded data and the original cover image can be extracted without distortion from the stego-image, and the embedding data are much greater than that of the previous algorithm. The experimental results show the superiority of the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, an advanced reversible data hiding algorithm which takes the advantage of the spatial locality in image was proposed. Natural image has a spatial locality. The pixel value of a natural image is similar to the values of neighboring pixels. So, using the neighboring pixel values, it is possible to precisely predict the pixel value. Frequency increases significantly at the peak point of the difference histogram using the predicted values. Therefore, it is possible to increase the amount of data to be embedded. By using the proposed algorithm, visually high quality stego-image can be generated, the original cover image and the embedded data can be extracted from the stego-image without distortion. The embedding data into the cover image of the proposed algorithm is much lager than that of the previous algorithm. The performance of the proposed algorithm was verified by experiment. The proposed algorithm is very useful for the reversible data hiding.

Satellite and aerial images are very useful means to monitor ecological and environmental situation. Nowadays more and more officials at Ministry of Environment in Korea need to access and use these image data through networks like internet or intranet. However it is very hard to manage and service these image data through internet or intranet, because of its size problem. In this paper very large image data service system for Ministry of Environment is constructed on web environment using image compression and web based image processing technology. Through this system, not only can officials in Ministry of Environment access and use all the image data but also can achieve several image processing effects on web environment. Moreover officials can retrieve attribute information from vector GIS data that are also integrated with the system.
