Steganalysis of MSU Stego Video based on block matching of interframe collusion and motion detection

  • Published:

Abstract

MSU Stego Video is a public video steganographic tool, which has strong robustness and is regarded as a real video steganographic tool. In order to increase the detection rate, this paper proposes a new steganoalysis method against MSU, which uses the chessboard character of MSU embedded video, proposes a down-sample block-based collusion method to estimate the original frame and checks the chessboard mode of the different frame between tested frame and estimated frame to detect MSU steganographic evidences. To reduce the error introduced by severe movement of the video content, a method that abandons severe motion blocks from detecting is proposed. The experiment results show that the false negative rate of the proposed algorithm is lower than 5%, and the false positive rate is lower than 2%. Our algorithm has significantly better performance than existing algorithms. Especially to the video that has fast motion, the algorithm has more remarkable performance.
