Popis: Current video steganography operates with either the decoded frame images or the compression coding parameters, which could cause quality degradation of the reconstructed frames. In this letter, by exploiting the advanced motion vector prediction (AMVP) technique of High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard, we propose a non-degraded adaptive steganographic approach for H.265/HEVC videos. The index value in the candidate list of the prediction unit (PU) is used for embedding. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed steganographic approach against both hand-crafted feature-based and deep learning network-based steganalytic detectors. Our work explores a new embedding space that is not previously studied. It is a significant development in finding new ways to escape from video quality change-based steganalysis.
