3D Steganalysis Using the Extended Local Feature Set

3D steganalysis aims to find the changes embedded through steganographic or information hiding algorithms into 3D models. This research study proposes to use new 3D features, such as the edge vectors, represented in both Cartesian and Laplacian coordinate systems, together with other steganalytic features, for improving the results of 3D steganalysers. In this way the local feature vector used by the steganalyzer is extended to 124 dimensions. We test the performance of the extended local feature set, and compare it to four other steganalytic features, when detecting the stego-objects watermarked by six information hiding algorithms.
