-In order to be able to compute the same set of edge pixels, we suggest to consider all the bits of the image (cover or stego) without the LSB. With an 8 bits image, only the 7 first bits are considered. In our flowcharts, this is represented by LSB(7 bits Edge Detection).

% First of all, let us discuss about compexity of edge detetction methods.

Next, following~\cite{Luo:2010:EAI:1824719.1824720}, our scheme automatically
modifies the Canny algorithm
parameters to get a sufficiently large set of edge bits: this
