+For the whole experiment, a set of 500 images is randomly extracted 
+from the database taken from the BOSS contest~\cite{Boss10}. 
+In this set, each cover is a $512\times 512$
+grayscale digital image.

+\subsection{Adaptive Embedding Rate} 
+
+Two strategies have been developed in our scheme with respect to the rate of 
+embedding which is either \emph{adaptive} or \emph{fixed}.
+
+In the former the embedding rate depends on the number of edge pixels.
+The higher it is, the larger is the message length that can be considered.
+Practically, a set of edge pixels is computed according to the 
+Canny algorithm with high threshold.
+The message length is thus defined to be the half of this set cardinality.
+In this strategy, two methods are thus applied to extract bits that 
+are modified. The first one is a direct application of the STC algorithm.
+This method is further referred as \emph{adaptive+STC}.
+The second one randomly choose the subset of pixels to modify by 
+applying the BBS PRNG again. This method is denoted \emph{adaptive+sample}.
+Notice that the rate between 
+available bits  and bit message length is always equal to two.
+This constraint is indeed induced by the fact that the efficiency 
+of the STC algorithm is unsatisfactory under that threshold.
+
+On our experiments and with the adaptive scheme, 
+the average size of the message that can be embedded is 16445.
+Its corresponds to an  average payload of 6.35\%. 
+
+
+
+
+In the latter, the embedding rate is defined as a percentage between the 
+number of the modified pixels and the length of the bit message.
+This is the classical approach adopted in steganography.
+Practically, the Canny algorithm generates a 
+a set of edge pixels with threshold that is decreasing until its cardinality
+is sufficient. If the set cardinality is more than twice larger than the 
+bit message length an STC step is again applied.
+Otherwise, pixels are again randomly chosen with BBS.

+Four metrics are computed in these experiments:

 account Human Visual System (HVS).

+
+Let us give an interpretation of these experiments.
+First of all, the adaptive strategy produces images with lower distortion 
+than the one of images resulting from the 10\% fixed strategy.
+Numerical results are indeed always greater for the former strategy than 
+for the latter, except for the BIQI metrics where differences are not relevant.
+These results are not surprising since the adaptive strategy aims at 
+embedding messages whose length is decided according to a 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 nevertheless provides better results with the strategy 
+adaptive+STC in a lightweight manner, as motivated in the introduction.      
+
 
+Let us now compare the STABYLO approach with other edge based steganography
+schemes with respect to the image quality.
+First of all, the Edge Adaptive
+scheme detailed in~\cite{Luo:2010:EAI:1824719.1824720} 
+executed with a 10\% embedding rate 
+has the same PSNR but a lower wPSNR than our:
+these two metrics are respectively equal to 61.9 and 68.9. 
+Next both the approaches~\cite{DBLP:journals/eswa/ChenCL10,Chang20101286}
+focus on increasing the payload while the PSNR is acceptable, but do not 
+give quality metrics for fixed embedding rate from a large base of images. 
+Our approach outperforms the former thanks to the introduction of the STC 
+algorithm.
