Efficient Parallel Feature Selection for Steganography Problems

Abstract

The Steganography Problem Consists of the Identification of Images Hiding a Secret Message, Which Cannot Be Seen by Visual Inspection. This Problem is Nowadays Becoming More and More Important Since the World Wide Web Contains a Large Amount of Images, Which May Be Carrying a Secret Message. Therefore, the Task is to Design a Classifier, Which is Able to Separate the Genuine Images from the Non-Genuine Ones. However, the Main Obstacle is that There is a Large Number of Variables Extracted from Each Image and the High Dimensionality Makes the Feature Selection Mandatory in Order to Design an Accurate Classifier. This Paper Presents a New Efficient Parallel Feature Selection Algorithm based on the Forward-Backward Selection Algorithm. the Results Will Show How the Parallel Implementation Allows to Obtain Better Subsets of Features that Allow the Classifiers to Be More Accurate. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
