Abstract
Lossless data embedding theory has entered a new era for data hiding and information security. In a lossless scheme, the original data and the embedded data should be completely recoverable. Our \(n\)-pairs pattern method is a significant advance in lossless data hiding schemes. This paper shows that the proposed \(n\)-pairs pattern method can achieve greater embedding capacity while keeping distortion at the same level as the PS-K method (Pattern Substitution by pseudo random number generator to produce a key K). The performance of the \(n\)-pairs pattern method is thus shown to be better than the performance of PS-K.
