Stereo Image Coding Based on Histogram Pair Reversible Data Hiding

Abstract:

Using reversible data hiding based on histogram pair for stereo image coding, two cutting edge researches—data hiding and 3D TV were combined. One frame of the stereo image pair was compressed and embedded into the other frame without any loss, and the bandwidth and storage were halved, providing the possibility of compatibility of 3D and 2D TV. The dependency of the two frames was utilized for optimal search of four parameters, and the new compression limitation was achived. Lossless embedding of higher capacity and better image quality was completed by histogram pair reversible data hiding which adopts the multi cycle method.
