Adaptive embedding
Definition
A steganographic strategy that concentrates embedding changes in high-texture or high-noise image regions where they are perceptually and statistically harder to detect. Algorithms such as HUGO, WOW, and S-UNIWARD assign low embedding cost to complex regions and high cost to smooth regions.
