A Print-Scan Resilient Watermarking based on Fourier Transform and Image Restoration
نویسندگان
چکیده
The print-scan operation is still challenging in the watermarking community, some watermarking techniques were proposed in the literature to deal with this operation. These watermarking techniques are still very sensitive to degradations produced by the print-scan process. This paper investigates a watermarking technique in the Fourier domain that is robust to degradation produced when an image is printed in physical support then rescanned. The watermark is embedded in a middle frequency band of the discrete Fourier transform of an image using the improved spread spectrum technique. Some image restoration techniques were implemented. They were tested on images which were watermarked, printed and then rescanned before the watermark extraction. Experimental results clearly show the advantage of using the proposed approach.

Distortion Modeling and Invariant Extraction for Digital Image Print-and-Scan Process
After an image is printed-and-scanned, it is usually filtered, rotated, scaled, cropped, contrast-andluminance adjusted, as well as distorted by noises. This paper presents models for the print-and-scan process, considering both pixel value distortion and geometric distortion. We show properties of the discretized, rescanned image in both the spatial and frequency domains, then further analyze ...
متن کاملA Practical Print-and-Scan Resilient Watermarking for High Resolution Images
Detecting the watermark from the rescanned image is still a challenging problem, especially for high resolution image. After printing and scanning, an image usually suffers global geometric distorts ( such as rotation, scaling, translation and cropping), local random nonlinear geometric distortions which is simulated in Random Bending function of Stirmark, as well as nonlinear pixel value disto...
متن کاملMultiple Domain Watermarking for Print-Scan and JPEG Resilient Data Hiding
In this paper, we propose a print-scan resilient watermarking method which takes advantage of multiple watermarking. The method presented here consists of three separate watermarks out of which two are used for inverting the geometrical transformations and the third is the multibit message watermark. A circular template watermark is embedded in magnitudes of the Fourier transform to invert rota...
متن کاملCopyright Protection against Print-and-Scan Operations by Watermarking for Color Images Using Coding and Synchronization of Peak Locations in Frequency Domain
A watermarking method for copyright protection of color images against print-andscan operations is proposed. A watermark is embedded in an input image as coefficientvalue peaks that are circularly and symmetrically distributed in a middle band of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) domain of the input image. By detecting the robust peaks in the DFT domain of a reproduced image obtained by scan...
متن کاملDiscrete Fourier transform-based watermarking method with an optimal implementation radius
In this paper, we evaluate the degradation of an image due to the implementation of a watermark in the frequency domain of the image. As a result, a watermarking method, which minimizes the impact of the watermark implementation on the overall quality of an image, is developed. The watermark is embedded in magnitudes of the Fourier transform. A peak signal-to-noise ratio is used to evaluate qua...
