The proposed scheme (5/11)
The proposed scheme (6/11) Assume that the secret data is 001 If Distortion (K0, Original Pixel) < threshold T Output: 1 indicator 100 compression code 4 Phase-1 data embedding K Else if Distortion (K0, Original Pixel) > threshold T Use sorted color palette to embed secret data (Phase-2 data embedding)

The proposed scheme (8/11) Extracting Procedure
The proposed scheme (9/11) Phase-1 extracting policy indicator = 1 Ex: the inputted compression code is ‘100’ 4 < 3 Decode with K0 The retrieval Secret data is 001 K
The proposed scheme (10/11) Phase-2 extracting policy indicator = 0 Ex: the inputted compression code is ‘0000’ Secret data is 0 P Input next compression code 1100 12 Decode this pixel with P12
The proposed scheme (11/11) Phase-2 extracting policy indicator = 0 Ex: the inputted compression code is ‘0111’ P 7<12 Secret data is 0 If D(Pc', P12) < D(Pc', P7) Decode the pixel with P12 Else Decode the pixel with P7
