In order to implement watermarking scheme for embedded systems, we present an energy efficient and robust watermarking mechanism based on DS-CDMA. The DS-CDMA based watermarking can obtain the capacity according to the orthogonal spreading codes. The high capacity can improve the robustness efficiently. For power saving, we propose a low complexity frequency domain transform for the DS-CDMA embedding method. The experimental results show that our approach not only reduces 82.19% energy consumption, but can survive from various signal distortions such as JPEG compression, sharpening, blurring, intensity adjustment, and cropping.Index Terms-Watermark, DS-CDMA, blind, high capacity, low power.
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.
