Title
Intelligent Watermarking For High-Capacity Low-Distortion Data Embedding
Abstract
Image watermarking intends to hide secret data for the purposes of copyright protection, image authentication, data privacy, and broadcast monitoring. The ultimate goal is to achieve highest embedding capacity and lowest image distortion. In this paper, we present an intelligent watermarking scheme which can automatically analyze an image content to extract significant regions of interest (ROIs). A ROI is an area involving crucial information, and will be kept intact. The remaining regions of non-interest (RONIs) are collated for embedding watermarks, and will be ranked according to their entropy fuzzy memberships into a degree of importance. They are embedded by different amounts of bits to achieve optimal watermarking. The watermark is compressed and embedded in the frequency domain of the image. Experimental results show that the proposed technique has accomplished high capacity, high robustness, and high PSNR (peak signal-to-noise ratio) watermarking.
