Two kinds of noise are added to RGB cover image. RGB cover image are divided in to three cover images RGB. The hiding algorithm is Least Significant Bits (LSB) which is used to hide three different images in each part of noisy cover image. The results of proposed system show that the ability of extracting secret message without errors. Normalized Correlation (NC) and Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) …
