Traditional image steganography techniques hide the secret image intohigh-frequency regions of the cover images.  These techniques typically result in lowerembedding  ratios  and  easy  detection.   In  this  paper,  we  propose  VStegNET,  a  videosteganography network that extracts spatio-temporal features using 3D-CNN and micro-bottleneck (Hourglass) which is the first of its kind in the literature of video steganog-raphy.  The proposed network hidesM×N(RGB) secret video frames into same sizedcover video frames.  We have trained our model onUCF 101 action recognitionvideodataset and evaluated its performance using various quantitative metrics (APD, PSNR,and SSIM) and compared it with previous the state-of-the-art. Furthermore, we have alsopresented a detailed analysis, supporting the proposal’s superiority over image steganog-raphy models. Finally, several standard steganalysis tools like StegExpose, SRNET, etc.have been used to justify the steganographic capabilities of VStegNET.","url_abs":"https://bmvc2019.org/wp-content/uploads/papers/0966-paper.pdf","url_pdf":"https://bmvc2019.org/wp-content/uploads/papers/0966-paper.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"vstegnet-video-steganography-networkusing","repo_url":"https://github.com/aayushm107/VStegNET","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"tf","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"image-steganography","task_name":"Image Steganography"},{"task_slug":"ssim","task_name":"SSIM"},{"task_slug":"steganalysis","task_name":"Steganalysis"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
