This book deep dives into the field of Object Based Steganography through novel approaches and techniques that aims to hide data within image covers by the selection of the best cover region for embedding, used in tandem with high efficiency embedding schemes. The book also explores a robust watermarking scheme that is resistant to compression and geometric transformations. The book shall be of much value to new researchers in steganography, who are interested to pursue studies in the development of pure and hybrid image steganography techniques which are simple to implement yet efficient. The book shall be beneficial for under graduate and post graduate students who wish to start their journey into the arena of image steganography.
