Title
Progressive sharing for a secret image
Abstract
Based on the wavelet transform, a new progressive sharing scheme is proposed to share a secret image into several shadow images using SPIHT encoding processes and Shamir's threshold scheme. Quality refinement of the recovered image is achieved by the data consumed from the threshold number (r) of shadow images and each single shadow image reveals no information about the secret image. The size of each shadow image is smaller than 1/r of the secret image and any number of shadow images that is less than r reveals no information about the secret image. The proposed approach is secure for image sharing and provides excellent peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) versus rate performance. Experimental results have demonstrated the promising performance of this method in progressive sharing.
