Abstract

With the development of data science and technology, information security has been further concerned. In order to solve privacy problems such as personal privacy being peeped and copyright being infringed, information hiding algorithms has been developed. Image information hiding is to make use of the redundancy of the cover image to hide secret information in it. Ensuring that the stego image cannot be distinguished from the cover image, and sending secret information to receiver through the transmission of the stego image. At present, the model based on deep learning is also widely applied to the field of information hiding. This paper makes an overall conclusion on image information hiding based on deep learning. It is divided into four parts of steganography algorithms, watermarking embedding algorithms, coverless information hiding algorithms and steganalysis algorithms based on deep learning. From these four aspects, the state-of-the-art information hiding technologies based on deep learning are illustrated and analyzed.
