RDH is a sort of data concealing approach whereby the host image can be recuperated precisely. The proposed approach was implemented and evaluated by considering various images. Results have been presented by calculating Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Rate. Obtained experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021.Conference Paper
