Abstract Among steganalysis techniques, detection against MV (motion vector) domain-based video steganography in the HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) standard remains a challenging issue. For the purpose of improving the detection performance, this paper proposes a steganalysis method that can perfectly detect MV-based steganography in HEVC. Firstly, we define the local optimality of MVP (Motion Vector Prediction) based on the technology of AMVP (Advanced Motion Vector Prediction). Secondly, we analyze that in HEVC video, message embedding either using MVP index or MVD (Motion Vector Difference) may destroy the above optimality of MVP. And then, we define the optimal rate of MVP… More >

Abstract Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a stochastic computation technique that has become an increasingly important branch of swarm intelligence optimization. However, like other evolutionary algorithms, PSO also suffers from premature convergence and entrapment into local optima in dealing with complex multimodal problems. Thus this paper puts forward an adaptive multi-updating strategy based particle swarm optimization (abbreviated as AMS-PSO). To start with, the chaotic sequence is employed to generate high-quality initial particles to accelerate the convergence rate of the AMS-PSO. Subsequently, according to the current iteration, different update schemes are used to regulate the particle search process at different evolution stages.… More >
