Abstract—In contrast to steganography, steganalysis is focused on detecting (the main goal of this research), tracking, extracting, and modifying secret messages transmitted through a covert channel. In this paper, a feature classification technique, based on the analysis of two statistical properties in the spatial and DCT domains, is proposed to blindly (i.e., without knowledge of the steganographic schemes) to determine the existence of hidden messages in an image. To be effective in class separation, the nonlinear neural classifier was adopted. For evaluation, a database composed of 2088 plain and stego images (generated by using six different embedding schemes) was established. Based on this database, extensive experiments were conducted to prove the feasibility and diversity of our proposed system. It was found that the proposed system consists of: 1) a 90%+ positive-detection rate; 2) not limited to the detection of a particular steganographic scheme; 3) capable of detecting stego images with an embedding rate as low as 0.01 bpp; and 4) considering the test of plain images incurred low-pass filtering, sharpening, and JPEG compression。
