 Abstract:

Steganography is one among the suggestions that can be used to store the secured information in images. Several techniques which follow serial embedding techniques take longer to embed the information. The goal of this paper is to hide the secret image with different resolutions in a carrier image with more accurately aid in less execution time. To realize this goal, the combination of texture and Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) is employed. In the FIS, the fuzzifier converts the crisp input to fuzzy values through membership functions. Texture features are extracted using the Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix features. Three Membership Functions such as texture features, Edge sensitivity and the Brightness sensitivity are generated and given as input towards the fuzzy system. The Mamdani FIS algorithm is used for embedding the image. All the pixels which are present in the image square is embedded in parallel rather than one by one operations since, it reduces the overall embedding time. By this proposed system, the embedding time is reduced when compared to different existing algorithms. By using this Mamdani based FIS, the peak signal to noise magnitude relation obtained is more for all the pixels present in the image is used for testing.
