Abstract  This paper presents a method to detect the quantization index modulation (QIM) steganography in G.723.1 bit stream. We show that the distribution of each quantization index (codeword) in the quantization index sequence has unbalanced and correlated characteristics. We present the designs of statistical models to extract the quantitative feature vectors of these characteristics. Combining the extracted vectors with the support vector machine, we build the classifier for detecting the QIM steganography in G.723.1 bit stream. The experiment shows that the method has far better performance than the existing blind detection method which extracts the feature vector in an uncompressed domain. The recall and precision of our method are all more than 90% even for a compressed bit stream duration as low as 3.6 s.
