To solve the problem that information hiding algorithms based on neural style transfer do not solve the embedding problem of color images, a color image information hiding algorithm based on style transfer process was proposed. Firstly, the advantages of feature extraction of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) were utilized to extract the semantic information of the carrier image, the style information of the style image and the feature information of the color image, respectively. Then, the semantic content of images and different styles were fused together. Finally the embedding of color image was completed while performing the style transfer of the carrier image through the decoder. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can integrate the secret image into the generated stylized image effectively, making the secret information embedding behavior indistinguishable from the style change behavior. Under the premise of maintaining the security of the algorithm, the proposed algorithm has the hiding capacity increased to 24 bpp, and the average values of Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Structural SIMilarity (SSIM) reached 25.29 dB and 0.85 respectively, thereby solving the color image embedding problem effectively.
