Digital watermarking is a kind of technique that can be used for protecting and enforcing the intellectual property (IP) rights of the digital media like the digital images containting in the transaction copyright. There are many kinds of digital watermarking algorithms. However, existing digital watermarking algorithms are not robust enough against geometric attacks and signal processing operations. In this paper, a robust watermarking algorithm based on chaos array in DCT (discrete cosine transform)-domain for gray images is proposed. The algorithm provides an one-to-one method to extract the watermark.Experimental results have proved that this new method has high accuracy and is highly robust against geometric attacks, signal processing operations and geometric transformations. Furthermore, the one who have on idea of the key can't find the position of the watermark embedded in. As a result, the watermark not easy to be modified, so this scheme is secure and robust.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
