Abstract:
A steganography algorithm based on a relatively low-frequency spatial deformation of full color image fragments is considered. Correlation properties for the color channels of images are used for extraction of hidden data. Results of the algorithm application are presented.

Key words:
steganography information hiding, elastic deformation, radial basis functions.
