Abstract
This paper presents a novel reversible data hiding method which uses a combined predictor. The proposed combined predictor combines five base predictors according to their global and local predicting performance. The weights to combine the base predictors are calculated with a pixel by pixel manner that they adjust to the local image patch characteristics. The proposed predictor is shown to have high prediction precision which is beneficial for the following prediction error expansion (PEE). Observing that our predictor performs well even for images with complex textures, a novel pixel selection criterion that bases on the prediction errors is proposed, which can accurately select the pixels that have small prediction errors to use. Extensive experiments are conducted to verify the superior performance of the proposed method.
