Title
A New Digital Image Watermarking Algorithm Resilient to Desynchronization Attacks
Abstract
Synchronization is crucial to design a robust image watermarking scheme. In this paper, a novel feature-based image watermarking scheme against desynchronization attacks is proposed. The robust feature points, which can survive various signal-processing and affine transformation, are extracted by using the Harris-Laplace detector. A local characteristic region (LCR) construction method based on the scale-space representation of an image is considered for watermarking. At each LCR, the digital watermark is repeatedly embedded by modulating the magnitudes of discrete Fourier transform coefficients. In watermark detection, the digital watermark can be recovered by maximum membership criterion. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme is invisible and robust against common signal processing, such as median filtering, sharpening, noise adding, JPEG compression, etc., and desynchronization attacks, such as rotation, scaling, translation, row or column removal, cropping, and random bend attack, etc.
