• Abstract summary: Information hiding technology utilizes the insensitivity of human sensory organs to redundant data. We propose information hiding in the black-and-white mixed region of binary images, which can greatly reduce visual distortion. In addition, we propose an efficient encoding to achieve high-capacity information hiding while ensuring image semantics.

• Abstract: Information hiding technology utilizes the insensitivity of human sensory organs to redundant data, hiding confidential information in the redundant data of these public digital media, and then transmitting it. The carrier media after hiding secret information only displays its own characteristics, which can ensure the transmission of confidential information without being detected, thereby greatly improving the security of the information. In theory, any digital media including image, video, audio, and text can serve as a host carrier. Among them, hiding information in binary images poses great challenges. As we know, any information hiding method involves modifying the data of the host carrier. The more information hidden, the more data of the host carrier are modified. In this paper, we propose information hiding in the black-and-white mixed region of binary images, which can greatly reduce visual distortion. In addition, we propose an efficient encoding to achieve high-capacity information hiding while ensuring image semantics. By selecting binary images of different themes, we conduct experiments. The experimental results prove the feasibility of our technique and verify the expected performance. Since the candidate units for information hiding are selected from equally sized blocks that the image is divided into, and the hiding and extraction of information are based on a shared encoding table, the computational cost is very low, making it suitable for real-time information hiding applications.

This information hiding-decoding system employs a diffractive optical processor as its front-end, which transforms and hides input images in the form of ordinary-looking patterns that deceive/mislead human observers. By processing these ordinary-looking output images, a jointly-trained electronic decoder neural network accurately reconstructs the original information hidden within the deceptive output pattern.

We propose a supervised image feature extractor, DCAConv, which produces an image representation with scalable domain size.
