The pixel-value differencing (PVD) scheme uses the difference value between two consecutive pixels in a block to determine how many secret bits should be embedded. There are two types of the quantization range table in Wu and Tasi's method. This is a a Steganographic Method Based on Pixel-Value Differencing and the Perfect Square Number.
