For future work, the authors' intention is to investigate systematically
all the existing edge detection methods, to see if the STABYLO evaluation scores can

-to take into account the least significant bits too during all the
-stages of the algorithm, hoping by doing so to be more close to the HUGO scores against
-steganalyzers. Other steganalyzers than the ones used in this document will be

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.
