Hiding multiple data in color images by histogram modification

In this paper, we present a new histogram-based data-hiding algorithm that secret data is embedded in the least significant bit of the histogram value. To change the pixel value, it will alter the histogram to accomplish data-hiding work. In the proposed algorithm, it is able to perform data hiding on the one-dimension histogram, two-dimension histogram map and three-dimension histogram cube. Besides, the multiple secret data hiding in various combinations of histogram spaces are successfully demonstrated in our experimental results. In addition, the natural and limited color images are tested in our experiments.
