The invention discloses a
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) embedding optimization method based on channel overflow
processing, which relates to the field of
image processing, and comprises the following steps of: S1, carrying out scaling overflow
processing on a cover through a scale formula to obtain a robust cover, S2, calculating a
distortion value of the robust cover by utilizing a J-UNIWARD
distortion function and calculating asymmetric
distortion, obtaining one-time modification cost through the asymmetric distortion, and carrying out one-time modification on the one-time modification cost through the asymmetric distortion. Modifying according to the primary modification cost; s3, performing
data compression and
information hiding by adopting STCs coding to obtain a temporary image; and S4, performing
JPEG compression on the temporary image and extracting an error rate according to compression information, if the error rate meets a threshold value, generating a final image, and if the error rate does not meet the threshold value, adjusting the error correction capability and repeating S3 and S4 until the final image is generated. The method has good robustness on
JPEG pictures uploaded and downloaded by a public
social platform, and solves the problem of picture distortion to a certain extent.
