Table 1

The mean values of PSNR and SSIM of each scheme.

The bold fonts indicate that the corresponding schemes have the highest PSNR and SSIM values, that is, the secret images extracted by Scheme 3 are most similar to the original images. And the values between cover images and stego images of Scheme 1 is the highest, but the visual effects of three schemes are acceptable since the stylized stego images are almost the same to each other.
