Abstract
This paper presents a new reversible data hiding scheme based on a popular technique, namely prediction error expansion (PEE). The prediction accuracy is important to the efficiency of this kind of scheme. We predict the pixels through their six round neighboring ones. And the gradient information is also taken into consideration. As a result the proposed prediction method helps us to obtain a large data hiding space. Furthermore, a sorting strategy that tries to reduce the overflow/underflow problems is employed to improve the algorithm efficiency. Experimental results prove that the proposed reversible data hiding scheme outperforms the most prior arts.
