Edge based steganographic schemes have been already studied~\cite{Luo:2010:EAI:1824719.1824720,DBLP:journals/eswa/ChenCL10}.
In the former, the authors show how to select sharper edge regions with respect
-to embedding rate: the larger the number of bits to be embedded, the coarse the edge regions are.
+to embedding rate: the larger the number of bits to be embedded, the coarser
+the edge regions are.
Then the data hiding algorithm is achieved by applying LSBMR on pixels of this region.
The authors show that this method is more efficient than all the LSB, LSBM, LSBMR approaches
thanks to extensive experiments.
