Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If multiple steganography analyzers execute different algorithms in isolation, then each algorithm can be implemented independently, but the detection accuracy for modern steganography algorithms deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple independent steganography analyzers into an ensemble system where the outputs of individual analyzers are aggregated. The ensemble classifier merges detection results from multiple algorithms executing in parallel, achieving superior detection accuracy for modern steganography while maintaining the independence of individual algorithm implementations.
2Device complexity
If a single steganography detection system is used, then the system complexity is low, but the ability to detect various modern steganography algorithms deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal steganography detection system that can handle multiple modern steganography algorithms through a single ensemble framework. The system maintains versatility by incorporating multiple specialized analyzers that work together, allowing one system to perform the function of detecting various steganographic methods without requiring separate dedicated systems for each algorithm.
3Use of energy by moving object
If detection operations are performed in isolation for each algorithm, then the computational overhead is low, but the overall detection performance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary detection operations using multiple algorithms in parallel before final classification. By executing multiple analyzers simultaneously and then aggregating their results through the ensemble classifier, the system achieves high detection performance while managing computational overhead through efficient parallel processing and result aggregation.

AI summary
Exemplary systems and methods are disclosed for detecting embedded data in a digital image. The system includes a processing device that extracts one or more features from a digital image and analyzes the one or more extracted features in a plurality of steganography analyzers, each steganography analyzer configured to execute a different steganography algorithm. The processing device generates an output data value at each steganography analyzer, the output data value indicating a probability that the digital image includes steganography according to the steganography algorithm of the steganography analyzer. Each output probability value is fed to an ensemble classifier, the ensemble classifier including a neural network in which the output probability values of the plurality of steganography analyzers are ensembled together to generate an output ensemble data value indicating a probability that the digital image includes any steganography according to the steganography algorithms of the steganography analyzers.
