The invention discloses a host image processing method for optimizing anti-fake information concealment and abstraction. The host image processing method comprises the following steps of (1), selection of a host image; (2), halftone processing of the host image, specifically, four color channels are provided with screening parameters for screening processing correspondingly, and a master halftonepicture and three subsidiary halftone pictures composed of screentones are obtained; (3), concealment of anti-fake information, specifically, after phase modulation is completed, the master halftone picture carrying the anti-fake information is obtained, the master halftone picture and the three subsidiary halftone pictures are subjected to image combination, a host image halftone picture carryingthe anti-fake information is obtained, and concealment of the anti-fake information is completed. By means of the host image processing method, the modulable angle range of the screentones is broadened, the modulable distance of the screentones is optimized, and the concealment and the abstraction effect of the anti-fake information are improved.
