Research on the Improvement of LSB-based Image Steganography Algorithm

Abstract

This study has made an improvement based on the LSB algorithm, which uses a randomly generated sequence for embedding information, with an implementation environment of Python and a combination of OpenCV By analyzing the embedded data with PSNR values and pretzel-plus-noise attacks, the results show that this method has better image quality and stronger resistance to attacks, while the complexity of extracting the embedded information by external users is high. The improved LSB algorithm in this study has great reference value for information covert transmission, and can be used for image copyright protection and privacy information protection in practical applications.
