Tried to implement a paper based on its abstract, because I'm not willing to pay 40 USD. The result is a mix of success and failure.

The paper introduced a steganography called DWT-DCT-SVD, which is applying DWT to a picture and then applying DCT and finally encoding bits into the S matrix of the SVD operation.

The first picture is encoded picture after jpeg compression (photoshop, quality 8, raw picture is 90MB in png), picture 2 is the intended decoded result, and picture 3 is the jpeg decoded result. I would say not bad...

... unless you zoom in on the picture and notice there are a lot of stripes giving off the fact that this picture is suspicious (picture 4).

Follow

I swear there are visible stripes in the dark area, like the screenshot I take in picture 4. But I don't know why it's not visible anymore, probably because of the compression. LOL
