Abstract

Steganography is the popular security method that provides complete security for communicating secret details. Image steganography is a very interesting field because of the imperceptible way of hiding data in images, since small distortion in the images cannot be identified by a human eye. This is the main idea to develop image steganography algorithms to improve visual quality. Pixel Value Differencing is able to provide a high quality stego image in spite of the high capacity of the concealed information. This paper proposes the first the interpolation techniques with the pixel block then applying then the Pixel Value Differencing method. Here in the first phase the original image is portioned into 2X2 block then applying the nearest neighbour interpolation technique after that in the second phase PVD is used to embed the secret data. Then the new pixel value of the neighbouring pixel also calculated. In this paper one variant are proposed by using single range table. We observed that for both the variant PSNR value and the hiding capacity are increased.
