Improvement of the Quality of Visual Secret Sharing Schemes with Shares Containing Inconsistent Pixels
Mariko Fujii, Tomoharu Shibuya (Sophia Univ.) EMM2018-114
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) (k, n)-visual secret sharing scheme ((k, n)-VSSS) is a method to divide a secret image into n images called shares that enable us to restore the original image by only stacking at least k of them without any complicated computations. In this paper, we study the implementation of (2, 2)-VSSS to share two secret images at the same time only by two shares. More precisely, we consider (2, 2)-VSSSin which the first secret image is decoded by stacking shares in the usual way, while the second one is done by stacking one of two shares reversibly. Since one of the shares must have some subpixels that inconsistently correspond to pixels of the original images, the decoded pixels incorrectly realize the original pixels, which causes serious degradation of the quality of decoded images. To reduce such degradation, we propose several methods to construct shares that utilize 8-neighbor Laplacian filter and halftoning. Then we show that the proposed methods can effectively improve the quality of decoded images. Moreover, we demonstrate that the proposed methods can be naturally extended to VSSS for RGB images.
