要解決的問題

此篇論文主要是利用一般影像比較平滑，相鄰兩個像素值非常相近 ( 差值很小 ) 的特性，因此差值介於 -1 ~ +1之間的個數佔了大多數，此時，統計差值取絕對值後的數量，以差值最多的當成Peak bin，結合Ni等人提出來的直方圖無失真資料隱藏的方法，藉由調整相鄰兩個像素的差值，便可以達到高容量、低失真的無失真資料隱藏的目的。

Conclusions

Proposed a reversible data hiding with large capacity When the algorithm is performed for

nine rounds, the average PSNR is still higher than 30 dB and the average hiding capacity still can reach 1.3 bpp.

此篇論文之優缺點

優點： 跟 Ni. 等人的方法比起來，此方法不用額外記錄

Zero bin 的資訊。 本方法先將整張 Cover Image 切成四張獨立的

Sub-Image ，分別統計子影像中相鄰兩個像素值的差值，並利用每一張子影像的 Peak bin 來調整相鄰兩個像素值的差值，達到無失真資料隱藏的目的，因此隱藏量會比其它方法高。

缺點： 跟 Ni. 等人的方法比起來，此方法需額外記錄更

多 Peak bin 的資訊。
