-\subsection{Steganalysis}
+For whole experiments, the whole set of 10,000 images
+of the BOSS contest~\cite{Boss10} database is taken.
+In this set, each cover is a $512\times 512$
+grayscale digital image in a RAW format.
+We restrict experiments to
+this set of cover images since this paper is more focused on
+the methodology than benchmarking.
+Our approach is always compared to Hugo~\cite{DBLP:conf/ih/PevnyFB10}
+and to EAISLSBMR~\cite{Luo:2010:EAI:1824719.1824720}.
+The former is the least detectable information hiding tool in spatial domain
+and the latter is the work that is the closest to ours, as far as we know.
-The quality of our approach has been evaluated through the two
+First of all, in our experiments and with the adaptive scheme,
+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.
+Sections~\ref{sub:quality} and~\ref{sub:steg} respectively present
+the quality analysis and the security of our scheme.

+\subsection{Image quality}\label{sub:quality}
+The visual quality of the STABYLO scheme is evaluated in this section.
+For the sake of completeness, three metrics are computed in these experiments:
+the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR),
+the PSNR-HVS-M family~\cite{psnrhvsm11},
+%the BIQI~\cite{MB10},
+and
+the weighted PSNR (wPSNR)~\cite{DBLP:conf/ih/PereiraVMMP01}.
+The first one is widely used but does not take into
+account the Human Visual System (HVS).
+The other ones have been designed to tackle this problem.
+
+If we apply them on the running example,
+the PSNR, PSNR-HVS-M, and wPSNR values are respectively equal to
+68.39, 79.85, and 89.71 for the stego Lena when $b$ is equal to 7.
+If $b$ is 6, these values are respectively equal to
+65.43, 77.2, and 89.35.

+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
+than the images resulting from the 10\% fixed strategy.
+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
+embedding messages whose length is decided according to an higher threshold
+into the edge detection.
+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.
+However our approach is always better than EAISLSBMR since this one may modify
+the two least significant bits.
+
+If we combine \emph{adaptive} and \emph{STC} strategies
+(which leads to an average embedding rate equal to 6.35\%)
+our approach provides metrics equivalent to those provided by HUGO.
+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 quality variance between HUGO and STABYLO for these parameters
+is given in bold font. It is always close to 1\% which confirms
+the objective presented in the motivations:
+providing an efficient steganography approach with a lightweight manner.
+
+
+Let us now compare the STABYLO approach with other edge based steganography
+approaches, namely~\cite{DBLP:journals/eswa/ChenCL10,Chang20101286}.
+These two schemes focus on increasing the
+payload while the PSNR is acceptable, but do not
+give quality metrics for fixed embedding rates from a large base of images.
+

+\subsection{Steganalysis}\label{sub:steg}
+
+
+
+The steganalysis quality of our approach has been evaluated through the two
AUMP~\cite{Fillatre:2012:ASL:2333143.2333587}
and Ensemble Classifier~\cite{DBLP:journals/tifs/KodovskyFH12} based steganalysers.
-Both aims at detecting hidden bits in grayscale natural images and are
-considered as the state of the art of steganalysers in spatial domain~\cite{FK12}.

The former approach is based on a simplified parametric model of natural images.
-Parameters are firstly estimated and a adaptive Asymptotically Uniformly Most Powerful

+Results are summarized in Table~\ref{table:steganalyse}.
+First of all, STC outperforms the sample strategy for the two steganalysers, as
+already noticed in the quality analysis presented in the previous section.
+Next, our approach is more easily detectable than HUGO, which
+is the most secure steganographic tool, as far as we know.
+However by combining \emph{adaptive} and \emph{STC} strategies
+our approach obtains similar results to HUGO ones.
+
+However due to its
+huge number of integration features, it is not lightweight, which justifies
+in the authors' opinion the consideration of the proposed method.
