Abstract: A method and system for hiding reversible data based on prediction errors are provided, where the method includes: partitioning an image, to obtain a shadow part and a blank part; performing a first-layer embedding process on the shadow part; performing a multi-layer embedding process on the blank part; extracting outermost layer information of the blank part after the multilayer embedding process; and extracting information of the shadow part after the first-layer embedding process. According to the method in the present disclosure, a problem of image distortion during high-capacity data embedding can be effectively solved.
