With the continuous progress and development in the field of Internet technology, the area of medical image processing has also developed along with it. Specially, digital watermarking technology plays an essential role in the field of medical image processing and greatly improves the security of medical image information. A medical image watermarking algorithm based on an accelerated‐KAZE discrete cosine transform (AKAZE‐DCT) is proposed to address the poor robustness of medical image watermarking algorithms to geometric attacks, which leads to low security of the information contained in medical images. First, the AKAZE‐DCT algorithm is used to extract the feature vector of the medical image and then combined with the perceptual hashing technique to obtain the feature sequence of the medical image; then, the watermarking image is encrypted with logistic chaos dislocation to get the encrypted watermarking image, which ensures the security of the watermarking information; finally, the watermarking is embedded and extracted with the zero‐watermarking technique. The experimental results show that the algorithm can effectively extract the watermark under conventional and geometric attacks, reflecting better robustness and invisibility, and has certain practicality in the medical field compared with other algorithms.

In the continuous progress of mobile internet technology, medical image processing technology is also always being upgraded and improved. In this field, digital watermarking technology is significant and provides a strong guarantee for medical image information security. This paper offers a robustness zero watermarking strategy for medical pictures based on an Improved NasNet-Mobile convolutional neural network and the discrete cosine transform (DCT) to address the lack of robustness of existing medical image watermarking algorithms. First, the structure of the pre-training network NasNet-Mobile is adjusted by using a fully connected layer with 128 output and a regression layer instead of the original Softmax layer and classification layer, thus generating a regression network with 128 output, whereby the 128 features are extracted from the medical images using the NasNet-Mobile network with migration learning. Migration learning is then performed on the modified NasNet-Mobile network to obtain the trained network, which is then used to extract medical image features, and finally the extracted image features are subjected to DCT transform to extract low frequency data, and the perceptual hashing algorithm processes the extracted data to obtain a 32-bit binary feature vector. Before performing the watermark embedding, the watermark data is encrypted using the chaos mapping algorithm to increase data security. Next, the zero watermarking technique is used to allow the algorithm to embed and extract the watermark without changing the information contained in the medical image. The experimental findings demonstrate the algorithm’s strong resistance to both conventional and geometric assaults. The algorithm offers some practical application value in the realm of medicine when compared to other approaches.

To solve the problem of robustness of encrypted medical image watermarking algorithms, a zero watermarking algorithm based on the discrete cosine transform (DCT) and an improved DarkNet53 convolutional neural network is proposed. The algorithm targets medical images in the encrypted domain. In this algorithm, DCT is performed on the encrypted medical image to extract 32-bit features as feature 1. DarkNet53, a pre-trained network, was chosen for migration learning for the network model. The network uses a fully connected layer and a regression layer instead of the original Softmax layer and classification layer, changing the original classification network into a regression network with an output of 128. With these transformations, 128-bit features can be extracted from encrypted medical images by this network, and then DCT is performed to extract 32-bit features as feature 2. The fusion of features 1 and 2 can effectively improve the robustness of the algorithm. The experimental results show that the algorithm can accurately distinguish different encrypted medical images and can effectively restore the original information from the encrypted watermarked information under traditional and geometric attacks. Compared with other algorithms, the proposed method demonstrates better robustness and invisibility.
