The STABYLO algorithm, whose acronym means STeganography with
Adaptive, Bbs, and binarY embedding at LOw cost, has been introduced
in this document as an efficient method having comparable, though
-somewhat smaller, security than the well-known
-Highly Undetectable steGO (HUGO) steganographic scheme.

for minimizing distortion.
-After having introduced with details the proposed method,
-we have evaluated it through noise measures (namely, the PSNR, PSNR-HVS-M,
-BIQI, and weighted PSNR), we have used well-established steganalysers.
+The complexity study of our proposed method and of the
+state of the art steganographic tools has shown that our approach
+has the lowest computation cost among all.
+This justifies the lightweight attribute of our scheme.
+The evaluation of introduced noise and of
+% measures
+% (namely, the PSNR, PSNR-HVS-M, and weighted PSNR), and of
+its embedding through stegenalysers (namely Ensemble Classifier)
+have shown that STABYLO is efficient enough to
+produce qualitative images and
+to face steganalysers.

% Of course, other detectors like the fuzzy edge methods

For future work, the authors' intention is to investigate systematically

+be improved by replacing Canny with another edge filter.
+Moreover, we plan to improve the distortion function by integrating
+into a numerical cost the gradient value of this kind of
+algorithm. We could thus transmit this value to STC contrary to the current
+version where the distortion that is transmited is either 1 in
+the adaptive strategy or 1,10, 100 in the fixed strategy.

Other steganalysers than the ones used in this document will be
examined for the sake of completeness. Finally, the
systematic replacement of all the LSBs of edges by binary digits provided
by the BBS generator will be investigated, and the consequences of such a
replacement, in terms of security, will be discussed.
-Furthermore, we plan to investigate information hiding on other models, such as high frequency for JPEG encoding.
