A PVD-based data hiding method with histogram preserving using pixel pair matching

作者：

Highlights：

• We have developed a Pixel Value Difference (PVD) technique to hide secret information that is secure.

• The sequence of hiding is complicated by random selection of embedding cells.

• The random selection secures the embedded secret from potential hackers.

• The results also showed high payload and image quality in comparison to other similar research.
