Image steganalysis is an algorithm that classifies input images into stego images with steganography methods and cover images without steganography methods. Previously, handcrafted feature-based steganalysis methods have been mainly studied. However, CNN-based objects recognition has achieved great successes and CNN-based steganalysis is actively studied recently. Unlike object recognition, CNN-based steganalysis requires preprocessing filters to discriminate the subtle difference between cover images from stego images. Therefore, CNN-based steganalysis studies have focused on developing effective preprocessing filters as well as network structures. In this paper, we compare previous studies in same experimental conditions, and based on the results, we analy ze the performance variation caused by the differences in preprocessing filter and network structure.

Image steganalysis is a technique for detecting images with steganographic algorithms applied, called stego images. With state-of-the-art CNN-based steganalysis methods, we can detect stego images with high accuracy, but it is not possible to know which steganographic algorithm is used. Identifying stego images is essential for extracting embedded data. In this paper, as the first step for extracting data from stego images, we propose a hierarchical CNN structure for senary classification of steganographic algorithms. The hierarchical CNN structure consists of multiple CNN networks which are trained to classify each steganographic algorithm and performs binary or ternary classification. Thus, it classifies multiple steganogrphic algorithms hierarchically and stepwise, rather than classifying them at the same time. In experiments of comparing with several conventional methods, including those of classifying multiple steganographic algorithms at the same time, it is verified that using the hierarchical CNN structure can greatly improve the classification accuracy.

본 논문에서는 CNN 기반 스테그아날리스 방법을 이용하여 입력 영상에 비밀 메시지가 삽입되었는지를 판별하고, 비밀 메시지가 삽입되었을 경우 WOW 와 UNIWARD 방법 중에 어떤 방법으로 삽입되었는지를 분류하고자 한다. 이를 위해 입력 영상으로부터 특징 정보를 추출하기 위해 사용되는 전처리(prepropcessing) 필터의 수가 분류 성능에 미치는 영향에 대해 분석한다. SRM 필터를 사용한 실험에서 필터의 수를 단순히 증가시키는 것은 성능 향상이 도움이 되지 않으며, 효과적인 필터를 선별해서 사용하는 것이 보다 우수한 성능을 가짐을 확인하였다.
