the average size of the message that can be embedded is 16,445 bits.
Its corresponds to an average payload of 6.35\%.
The two other tools will then be compared with this payload.

Results are summarized in Table~\ref{table:quality}.
Let us give an interpretation of these experiments.
First of all, the adaptive strategy produces images with lower distortion

Numerical results are indeed always greater for the former strategy than
for the latter one.
These results are not surprising since the adaptive strategy aims at

Let us focus on the quality of HUGO images: with a given fixed
embedding rate (10\%),
HUGO always produces images whose quality is higher than the STABYLO's one.

In this column STC(7) stands for embedding data in the LSB whereas
in STC(6), data are hidden in the two last significant bits.

The former approach is based on a simplified parametric model of natural images.
Parameters are firstly estimated and an adaptive Asymptotically Uniformly Most Powerful
(AUMP) test is designed (theoretically and practically), to check whether

Next, our approach is more easily detectable than HUGO, which
is the most secure steganographic tool, as far as we know.
