Image Data Hiding in Images Based on Interpolative Absolute Moment Block Truncation Coding

Absolute Moment Block Truncation Coding (AMBTC) is an efficient and fast lossy compression technique for still images. It is easy to implement compared to transform coding. Interpolative AMBTC is a modified method of AMBTC compression. In this paper image data hiding in images using Interpolative AMBTC is proposed. In this method the secret image is stored in the bit plane of the AMBTC compressed image and is recovered during decompression process. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves good quality decompressed image with low computational complexity.
