A novel image steganography scheme with high embedding capacity and tunable visual image quality based on a genetic algorithm

作者：

Highlights：

• We propose genetic algorithm-based image steganography approach in spatial domain.

• The stego image quality of the proposed method is tunable.

• Our scheme is simple, and feasible for adaptive steganographic applications.

• Obtained results are satisfactory from the aspect of PSNR and capacity.
