• Abstract: Image steganography is the art and science of using images as cover for covert communications. With the development of neural networks, traditional image steganography is more likely to be detected by deep learning-based steganalysis. To improve upon this, we propose image steganography network based on style transfer, and the embedding of secret messages can be disguised as image stylization. We embed secret information while transforming the content image style. In latent space, the secret information is integrated into the latent representation of the cover image to generate the stego images, which are indistinguishable from normal stylized images. It is an end-to-end unsupervised model without pre-training. Extensive experiments on the benchmark dataset demonstrate the reliability, quality and security of stego images generated by our steganographic network.

  QR Code steganography aims to embed a non-natural image into a natural image and the restored QR Code is required to be recognizable. We propose a novel framework, called Printing and Photography Robust Steganography (PPRSteg), which is competent to hide QR Code in a host image with unperceivable changes.

  Diffusion-based image translation guided by semantic texts or a single target image has enabled flexible style transfer. It is often difficult to maintain the original content of the image during the reverse diffusion. We present a novel diffusion-based unsupervised image translation method using disentangled style and content representation. Our experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art baseline models in both text-guided and image-guided translation tasks.

  We advocate for Semantic-aware Generation (SaGe) to facilitate richer semantics rather than details to be preserved in the generated image. SaGe complements the target network with view-specific features and thus alleviates the semantic degradation brought by intensive data augmentations. We execute SaGe on ImageNet-1K and evaluate the pre-trained models on five downstream tasks including nearest neighbor test, linear classification, and fine-scaled image recognition.
