The purpose of image steganalysis is to detect whether the secret information is hidden in the image. The current advanced adaptive steganography algorithm hides the secret information in the complex area of the image texture. However, it is difficult for the image steganalysis model to capture enough noise residual, which makes the detection ability of the model insufficient. To further improve the detection ability of the spatial image steganalysis model, a U-Net-based auxiliary information generation network is first constructed to increase the size of noise residual in the image so that the model can capture more favorable information. Besides, the spatial and channel attention mechanisms are fused to guide the model to pay more attention to the regions of the image that are globally favorable for steganalysis. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed model, experiments are conducted on the BOSSbase-v1.01 dataset through advanced spatial adaptive steganography algorithms S-UNIWARD and WOW. The experimental results show that the proposed model can improve the detection accuracy by up to 4.5% compared with the current optimal deep learning-based spatial image steganalysis models SR-Net and Siamese-Net. |
