Emerging Applications of Reversible Data Hiding
It provides a novel overview of extended RDH applications, which is incremental as it synthesizes existing research without introducing new methods.
The paper surveys emerging applications of reversible data hiding (RDH) beyond traditional uses, summarizing frameworks for fields like steganography and adversarial examples to enable reversible operations.
Reversible data hiding (RDH) is one special type of information hiding, by which the host sequence as well as the embedded data can be both restored from the marked sequence without loss. Beside media annotation and integrity authentication, recently some scholars begin to apply RDH in many other fields innovatively. In this paper, we summarize these emerging applications, including steganography, adversarial example, visual transformation, image processing, and give out the general frameworks to make these operations reversible. As far as we are concerned, this is the first paper to summarize the extended applications of RDH.
