Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new color secret image sharing based on homogeneous linear recursion (HLR). Merits of the previous related schemes, such as no pixel expansion, no code book required, no public image, lossless recovery, and high resolution are maintained in the proposed scheme, simultaneously. In addition, it has smaller shadow images and less complex calculations compared to related works. Besides, there are three methods for reconstruction that make it more convenient. Also, the RGB components of the secret image are processed in one step and there is no need to repeat the process of the scheme for each color channel that makes the process faster and more convenient.
