Embodiment approach

[0069] As an implementable manner, the loss function L of the encoding network enco der defined as:

[0070] L enco der =L(C,C')

[0071] The decoding network loss function L encoder defined as:

[0072] L encoder =L(S,S')

[0073] The overall loss function of the encoder-decoder network is defined as:

[0074] L total =L encoder +β Ldecoder

[0075] Among them, L(C,C')=αMSSIM(C,C')+(1-α)L1(C,C')+MSE(C,C')

[0076] L(S,S')=αMSSIM(S,S')+(1-α)L1(S,S')+MSE(S,S')

[0077] Among them, C represents the natural carrier image, C′ represents the encrypted carrier image, S represents the original secret image, S′ represents the recovered secret image, α is the coefficient for weighing MSSIM and L1 loss, β is the factor controlling the quality of the recovered secret image parameter.

[0078] Specifically, the loss of the encoding network includes two parts, one is the cover image reconstruction loss between the secret image and the cover image, which is realized by embeddin...

Abstract

The invention provides a double-branch network image steganography framework and method based on a convolutional neural network. The framework comprises a coding network and a decoding network; the coding network comprises a feature extraction network and a steganography network; the feature extraction network is used for feature extraction of the gray secret image; the steganography network is used for embedding the grayscale image features extracted by the feature extraction network into a natural carrier image to obtain a secret-containing carrier image; and the decoding network is used for extracting a gray-scale secret image from the secret-containing carrier image. According to the invention, a double-branch steganography network in which the secret image and the carrier image are parallel is designed, a traditional single-branch image steganography framework based on a convolutional neural network is broken through, the security and transparency of image steganography are improved, the problems of gradient disappearance and the like during network training are avoided, and the training process of the network is accelerated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of image information steganography, in particular to a convolutional neural network-based dual-branch network image steganography framework and method. Background technique [0002] Image steganography is to embed secret information into the natural carrier image without changing the semantic information and statistical characteristics of the carrier image, so as to realize the hiding of information. According to different steganographic methods, existing image steganographic algorithms can be divided into spatial domain methods and transform domain methods. [0003] The traditional spatial steganography method is to directly embed the secret information into the pixel value of the image through a certain algorithm, such as the Least Significant Bit (LSB) algorithm. The LSB algorithm has the least impact on the visual perception of the carrier image, and does not It is easy to be detected, but the steganogr...
