Abstract

Aim: To enhance the distortion measure of encoded images in the process of Image steganography using Discrete Cosine Transformation(DCT) by comparison with the OpenCV Algorithm. Methods and Materials: The two groups are OpenCV (N=10) and Discrete Cosine Transformation (N=10). Gpower is calculated for two different groups, alpha (0.05), power (80%). Results: The distortion is measured based on Peak Signal to Noise Ratio(PSNR) value where the Discrete Cosine Transformation has the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio(PSNR) value as 52. The two algorithms Discrete Cosine Transformation and OpenCV are statistically satisfied with the independent sample T-Test (???? = .001) value (p<0.05) with a confidence level of 95%. Conclusion: Compared to OpenCV Algorithm, the distortion measure seems to be better in Discrete Cosine Transformation.
