Impact of inserting a stochastic noise on the visual information in a bitmap

This paper explains reasons for choosing a bitmap (BMP) as the basic format for inserting large amounts of additional information into the image. Structure of the BMP format is explained and shown on examples. Formula for calculating the difference of two images is proposed. Experiments were conducted on adding information to the bits of different weights in the bitmap. From the test results, conclusions were derived about the impact of adding information on the quality of original bitmap image.
