pixel is individually determined as the sum of the differences between
the features of the SPAM computed from the cover and from the stego images.
The features embedded in WOW and UNIWARD are based on Wavelet-based
-directional filter. Thus, similarelly, the distortion function is
+directional filter. Thus, similarly, the distortion function is
the sum of the differences between these wavelet coefficients
computed from the cover and from the stego images.

produce stego contents
by only considering the payload, not the type of image signal: the higher the payload is,
-the better the approach is said to be.
-Contrarily, we argue that some images should not be taken as a cover because of the nature of their signals.
-Consider for instance a uniformly black image: a very tiny modification of its pixels can be easily detectable.
-The approach we propose is thus to provide a self adaptive algorithm with a high payload, which depends on the cover signal.

+For instance, studied payloads range from 0.04 to 0.4 modified bits per pixel.

% Message extraction is achieved by computing the same

% The edge detection algorithm is thus not applied on all the bits of the image,
