+To be more precise, we compare the complexity of our schemes to some of 
+current state of the art of 
+steganographic scheme, namely HUGO~\cite{DBLP:conf/ih/PevnyFB10},
+WOW~\cite{conf/wifs/HolubF12}, and UNIWARD~\cite{HFD14}.
+Each of these scheme starts with the computation of the distortion cost 
+for each pixel switch and is later followed by the STC algorithm.
+Since this last step is shared by all, we do not add its complexity.
+In all the rest of this section, we consider a $n \times n$ square image.

-Our edge selection is based on a Canny  Filter, 
-whose complexity is in $O(2n^2.\ln(n))$ thanks to the convolution step
-which can be implemented with FFT.
-To summarize, for the embedding map construction, the complexity of Hugo is
-at least $343^2/\ln{n}$ times higher than 
-our scheme. For instance, for a squared image with 4M pixel per slide,
-this part of our algorithm is more than 14100 faster than Hugo.

+Let us focus now on WOW.  
+This scheme starts to compute the residual 
+of the cover as a convolution product which is in $O(n^2\ln(n^2))$. 
+The embedding suitability $\eta_{ij}$ is then computed for each pixel
+$1 \le i,j \le n$ thanks to a convolution product again.
+We thus have a complexity of $O(n^2 \times n^2\ln(n^2))$.
+Moreover the suitability is computed for each wavelet level
+detail (HH, HL, LL). 
+This distortion computation step is thus in $O(6n^4\ln(n))$.
+Finally a norm of these three values is computed for each pixel 
+which adds to this complexity the complexity of $O(n^2)$.
+To summarize, the complixity is in $O(6n^4\ln(n) +n^2)$
+
+What follows details the complexity of the distortion evaluation of the 
+UNIWARD scheme. This one is based to a convolution product $W$ of two elements 
+of size $n$ and is again in   $O(n^2 \times n^2\ln(n^2))$ and a sum $D$ of 
+these $W$ which is in $O(n^2)$. 
+This distortion computation step is thus in $O(6n^4\ln(n) + n^2)$.

+
+Our edge selection is based on a Canny  Filter. When applied on a 
+$n \times n$ square image, the noise reduction step is in $O(5^3 n^2)$.
+Next, let $T$ be the size of the canny mask.
+Computing gradients is in $O(4Tn)$ since derivatives of each direction (vertical or horizontal) 
+are in $O(2Tn)$.
+Finally, thresholding with hysteresis is in $O(n^2)$.
+The overall complexity is thus in $O((5^3+4T+1)n^2)$.

+To summarize, for the embedding map construction, the complexity of Hugo, WOW 
+and UNIWARD are dramatically larger than the one of our scheme: 
+STABYLO is in $O(n^2)$ 
+whereas HUGO is in $O(n^2\ln(n)$, and WOW and UNIWARD are in $O(n^4\ln(n))$.
+Thanks to these complexity results, we claim that STABYLO is lightweight.
