 We argue that modifying edge pixels is an acceptable compromise. 
 Edges form the outline of an object: they are the boundary between overlapping objects or between an object
 and the background. A small modification of pixel value in the stego image should not be harmful to the image quality:

+in cover image, edge pixels already break its continuity  and thus already contain large variation with neighbouring 
 pixels. In other words, minor changes in regular area are more dramatic than larger modifications in edge ones. 
 Our proposal is thus to embed message bits into edge shapes while preserving other smooth regions.

 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

+Contrarely, we argue that some images should not be taken as a cover because of the nature of their signal.
 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.
