摘要

With the rapid development of deep learning methods, their applications in various fields have gradually emerged. In the reversible data hiding (RDH) research field, the design of the prediction method is crucial for improving the performance of RDH algorithms. Currently, the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is introduced into RDH as a predictor because of its global field of view. Most existing RDH algorithms rely on a single predictor to generate prediction errors. However, it has been observed that exploiting different predictors based on different local textures might achieve better prediction performance. For example, the traditional rhombus predictor (RP) may be more suitable for smooth regions, while complex texture regions may be more appropriately exploited by the CNN-based predictor (CNNP). Therefore, in this paper, a hybrid prediction scheme is proposed that adaptively chooses different predictors based on the complexity measurement to achieve better performance. Experimental results demonstrate that our algorithm can obtain better performance than the state-of-the-art works.
