Reversing Global and Local Geometrical Distortions in Image Watermarking
نویسنده
چکیده
A new method improving watermark robustness against both global and local geometrical distortions is presented in this article. The proposed approach is based on a self-reference concept and exploits special autocorrelation features of a spatial template. The template allows identifying both the transformation parameters and translation coordinates. Distortions are estimated and reversed on a level as global as possible to maximize watermark recovery effectiveness and minimize a time needed for that purpose. Experimental results showed that an inserted watermark could be successfully read even after Stirmark attack.

Geometrically invariant watermarking using feature points
This paper presents a new approach for watermarking of digital images providing robustness to geometrical distortions. The weaknesses of classical watermarking methods to geometrical distortions are outlined first. Geometrical distortions can be decomposed into two classes: global transformations such as rotations and translations and local transformations such as the StirMark attack. An overvi...
متن کاملMultibit digital watermarking robust against local nonlinear geometrical distortions
This paper presents an efficient method for the estimation and recovering from nonlinear or local geometrical distortions, such as the random bending attack and restricted projective transforms. The distortions are modeled as a set of local affine transforms, the watermark being repeatedly allocated into small blocks in order to ensure its locality. The estimation of the affine transform parame...
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 کاملProposing an effective approach for Network security and multimedia documents classically using encryption and watermarking
Local binary pattern (LBP) operators, which measure the local contrast within a pixel's neighborhood, successfully applied to texture analysis, visual inspection, and image retrieval. In this paper, we recommend a semi blind and informed watermarking approach. The watermark has been built from the original image using Weber Law. The approach aims is to present a high robustness and imperceptibi...
متن کاملComplexity-scalable compensation of geometrical distortions in image watermarking
Geometrical transformations are one of the most important issues to be solved to increase the robustness of digital image watermarking systems. This paper presents an efficient method for inverting geometrical distortions that may spatially desynchronise a watermark detector. We propose a strategy that is scalable in transform complexity, since in some cases a simple transformation is sufficien...
