Reversible data hiding with contrast enhancement using adaptive histogram shifting and pixel value ordering

作者：

Highlights：

• >Adaptive histogram shifting improves the image contrast for RDH methods.

• Bidirectional histogram pre-shifting alleviates visual image distortion.

• The pixel value ordering technique increases the embedding capacity.

• An alternative way can better evaluate the marked image quality.
