In comparison with GePVO-K method, iGePVO-K has the following advantages. First, the embedding capacity of the new method is higher than that of GePVO-K method by using data embedding formulas reasonably and reducing the location map size. Second, for embedding data, in the new method, each pixel value is modified at most by one, while in GePVO-K method, each pixel value may be modified by two. In fact, in the GePVO-K method, the largest pixels are modified by two for embedding bits 1 and by one for bits 0. This is also true for the smallest pixels. Meanwhile, in the proposed method, the largest pixels are modified by one for embedding bits 1 and are unchanged if embedding bits 0. Therefore, the stego-image quality in proposed method is better than that in GePVO-K method. Theoretical analysis and experiment results show that the proposed method has higher embedding capacity and better stego image quality than GePVO-K method. date: 2020-02 date_type: published full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Computer Science and Cybernetics volume: 36 number: 2 pagerange: 139-158 refereed: FALSE issn: 1813-9663 citation: NGUYEN, Kim Sao and Nguyen, Ngoc Hoa and PHAM, Van At (2020) An effective reversible data hiding method based on pixel-value-ordering.
