• We consider the problem of detecting spatial domain least significant bit (LSB) matching steganography in grayscale images, which has proved much harder than for its counterpart, LSB replacement. We use the histogram characteristic function (HCF), introduced by Harmsen for the detection of steganography in color images but ineffective on grayscale images. Two novel ways of applying the HCF are introduced: calibrating the output using a downsampled image and computing the adjacency histogram instead of the usual histogram. Extensive experimental results show that the new detectors are reliable, vastly more so than those previously known.
