Algorithm for Hiding Information in Image Pixel Brightness

Resource Overview

This algorithm embeds information within image pixel brightness values, employing subtle modifications to conceal data while maintaining visual fidelity.

Detailed Documentation

This algorithm conceals information within image pixel brightness values by making minute adjustments to pixel values, effectively embedding data into images for secure information transmission. The implementation typically involves modifying the least significant bits (LSBs) of pixel values or applying frequency-domain transformations like DCT to embed payloads. Through this method, secret information can be transmitted covertly without raising suspicion, with critical applications in steganographic communication, digital watermarking, and copyright protection. The algorithm's core function operates by calculating optimal embedding positions while preserving perceptual quality through error diffusion techniques or adaptive thresholding mechanisms.
