Deep Steganography

Neural networks that hide an image within another image, with a second model that extracts the hidden content.

This project explores deep learning-based steganography: hiding information inside other information. Neural networks embed a secret image inside a cover image in a way that remains difficult to detect visually.

Overview

The system uses one model to encode a secret image into a cover image, then another model to recover the hidden image from the encoded result.

How It Works

  1. Encoding Network - Takes a cover image and a secret image, then produces an encoded image that visually resembles the cover image.
  2. Decoding Network - Extracts the hidden image from the encoded image.

Applications
