Highly Undetectable steGO (HUGO) steganographic scheme.
This edge-based steganographic approach embeds a Canny
detection filter, the Blum-Blum-Shub cryptographically secure
-pseudorandom number generator, together with Syndrome-Treillis Codes
+pseudorandom number generator, together with Syndrome-Trellis Codes
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) and using well established steganalysers.
+% Of course, other detectors like the fuzzy edge methods
+% deserve much further attention, which is why we intend
+% to investigate systematically all of these detectors in our next work.
+
+
+
+
For future work, the authors' intention is to investigate systematically
all the existing edge detection methods, to see if the STABYLO evaluation scores can
-be improved by replacing Canny with another edge filter. We will try
-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
-regarded for the sake of completeness. Finally, the
+be improved by replacing Canny with another edge filter.

+Other steganalysers 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.
