Hi Ramya,
I understand that you are having issue with extracting the original audio after embedding audio into a DICOM image using DCT Method.
After reviewing the provided code, here are some suggestions that might help resolve or troubleshoot the issue.
  • DCT Coefficient Selection: In the code, the audio is embedded to first coefficient (DC term) of each DCT block. As the DC term represents average pixel value of the block, so modifying it could result in distortion in resultant image. Consider embedding the audio into less sensitive DCT coefficient. For example, you could choose the coefficient at position (4,4) in each block. Then the modified embedding and extraction steps are given below:
Embedding:
% Define the position for embedding within each block
embedRow = 4;
embedCol = 4;
% Embed the audio into the selected DCT coefficient
for row = 1:blockSize:size(dctDicomImage, 1)
for col = 1:blockSize:size(dctDicomImage, 2)
if audioIndex <= numSamples
dctDicomImage(row + embedRow - 1, col + embedCol - 1) = ...
dctDicomImage(row + embedRow - 1, col + embedCol - 1) + audio(audioIndex)*10;
audioIndex = audioIndex + 1;
end
end
end
Extraction:
% Extract the audio from the selected DCT coefficient
for row = 1:blockSize:size(dctStegoDicomImage, 1)
for col = 1:blockSize:size(dctStegoDicomImage, 2)
if audioIndex <= numSamples
extractedAudio(audioIndex) = (dctStegoDicomImage(row + embedRow - 1, col + embedCol - 1) - ...
dctOrigDicomImage(row + embedRow - 1, col + embedCol - 1))/10;
audioIndex = audioIndex + 1;
end
end
end
  • Block Size Mismatch: The DICOM image is flattened into single column vector and then applied to “blockproc” function. Here make sure that total number of elements in vector is multiple of block size squared (“blockSize^2”). Otherwise, the last block may not be processed correctly and could lead to problems during extracting.
  • Adjust Audio Amplification factor: Consider tuning the audio amplification factor. There is possibility that the modification to DCT coefficient causes them to go outside valid range of image data type, information may be lost during clipping.
  • Normalization and Rescaling of Audio: Check that the normalization and scaling of the audio signal are consistent and reversible.
  • Use Simple Audio signal: Test the embedding and extraction process on simpler audio signal (single tone or a series of tones).
Please refer to below documentation for more information on the functions used:
I hope these suggestions help resolve the issue.
