Title
Steganographer Detection via Multi-Scale Embedding Probability Estimation
Abstract
Steganographer detection aims to identify the guilty user who utilizes steganographic methods to hide secret information in the spread of multimedia data, especially image data, from a large amount of innocent users on social networks. A true embedding probability map illustrates the probability distribution of embedding secret information in the corresponding images by specific steganographic methods and settings, which has been successfully used as the guidance for content-adaptive steganographic and steganalytic methods. Unfortunately, in real-world situation, the detailed steganographic settings adopted by the guilty user cannot be known in advance. It thus becomes necessary to propose an automatic embedding probability estimation method. In this article, we propose a novel content-adaptive steganographer detection method via embedding probability estimation. The embedding probability estimation is first formulated as a learning-based saliency detection problem and the multi-scale estimated map is then integrated into the CNN to extract steganalytic features. Finally, the guilty user is detected via an efficient Gaussian vote method with the extracted steganalytic features. The experimental results prove that the proposed method is superior to the state-of-the-art methods in both spatial and frequency domains.
