Arabic language contains a multiple set of features which complete the process of embedding and extracting text from the compressed image. In specific, the Arabic language covers numerous textual styles and shapes of the Arabic letter. This paper investigated Arabic cursive steganography using complex edge detection techniques via compressed image, which comprises several characteristics (short, medium and Long sentence) as per the research interest. Sample of images from the Berkeley Segmentation Database (BSD) was utilized and compressed with a diverse number of bits per pixel through Least Significant Bit (LSB) technology. The method presented in this paper was evaluated based on five complex edge detectors (Roberts, Prewitt, Sobel, LoG, and Canny) via MATLAB. Canny edge detector has been demonstrated to be the most excellent solution when it is vital to perform superior edge discovery overcompressed image with little several facts, but Sobel appears to be better in term of the execution time for Long sentence contents.
