Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of detecting image steganography based in JPEG files. We analyze the detection of the most popular steganographic algorithms: J-Uniward, UERD and nsF5, using DCTR, GFR and PHARM features. Our goal was to find a single neural network model that can best perform detection of different algorithms at different data hiding densities. We proposed a three-layer neural network in Dense-Batch Normalization architecture using ADAM optimizer. The research was conducted on the publicly available BOSS dataset. The best configuration achieved an average detection accuracy of 72 percent.
