Abstract:An information disguising and hiding technique is used to protect DEM (digital elevation model) data for store and transformation in this paper. A method is designed to compress the DEM data with a very low bit ratio which would be hidden in the disguised data. The integer wavelet with parameter is used, and a wavelet coefficients set which can embed the information is built. This paper expands the just noticeable distortion (JND) analysis based on the human visual system (HVS) to apply it in the DEM data. Furthermore this paper constructs Hash one-way by the Rabin method, and the algorithm can protect two groups of the DEM data at a time and be public.
