 There remains a large place between random selection of LSB and feature based modification of pixel values.
 We argue that modifying edge pixels is an acceptable compromise.

 Our proposal is thus to embed message bits into edge shapes while preserving other smooth regions.

 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.
 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.
-However, it has been shown that the distinguish error with LSB embedding is fewer than the one with some binary embedding~\cite{DBLP:journals/tifs/FillerJF11}.
