Abstract

Plural-bit data is encoded in an image without leaving apparent evidence of image alteration. The image is represented by data elements (e.g., pixels) whose values are changed to effect the encoding. The particular data elements to be changed are selected not on their individual values, but rather on an attribute of a neighboring group of data elements.
