“…To circumvent this problem, some HVS (Human Visual System) based approaches have been proposed in the literature [6]. In [7], a simple perceptual watermarking approach is proposed. The idea is control the visibility of the watermark by adjusting the level of quality by analyzing the residual signal between the original image and its compressed version.…”

A new transparent and robust watermarking method against JPEG compression attack based on a perceptual approach is proposed. The main idea is to embed the watermark into regions where the blocking artifact has no effect on the watermark. These regions are identified by using a spatial prediction model of blocking effect. A JND (Just-Noticeable-Difference) model is then used to control the embedding strength in order to ensure robustness and transparency of the watermarking. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated on a set of images and some common "signal processing" attacks.

“…regions "less visible" to human eyes, for embedding watermark, allowing an imperceptible image modification. In [3], a watermark robust to a desired quality level is constructed using the difference between the original and the reconstructed image after compression. The used visual component is simply the local average brightness.…”

A new robust watermarking method based on a blocking effect prediction model is presented. The proposed scheme embeds a watermark into a host image by taking into account the blocking effect that may result from block-based compression methods. The auspicious regions for embedding the watermark are derived from a distortion visibility map computed in the spatial domain. The main advantage of our approach is that regions affected by blocking effect are predicted before compression so as to prevent the watermark from being removed due to involuntary or malicious compression attacks. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method achieves a good invisibility and robustness against some common signal processing attacks, especially to JPEG compression.1.

“…To determine the significance of each pixel, many watermarking schemes work in the transform domain. Approaches based on the discrete cosine transform [4][5][6][7] or the discrete wavelet transform [8][9][10] have the advantage that are robust against JPEG and JPEG2000 compression attacks respectively since mark location are determined according to such compression techniques.…”

In this paper an empirical evaluation of the lossy compression properties of the JPEG2000 standard for watermarking purposes is performed. The JPEG2000 standard is used as a basic tool for determining both how and where the embedded watermark should be placed in the image. The original image is slightly modified in order to generate a similar image (indistinguishable by the observer), and the mark is embedded in the pixels presenting differences between both images. Previous experiments show that the properties of the resulting watermarking scheme depend strongly on the transformation stage characteristics of the lossy image compression system. Several parameters related to the JPEG2000 standard are tested, in addition to the compression ratio: the wavelet transform, block size, and the number of levels of decomposition for each block. These parameters affect not only the capacity but also the robustness of the watermarking scheme: the number of different pixels between the original image and the slightly modified one, and the distribution of such differences. For evaluation purposes we use the Stirmark benchmark. We compare the impact on system performance of each one of the JPEG2000 standard parameters, for several kinds of attacks, namely filtering (including sharpening), JPEG lossy compression, cropping, row and column removal, and a combination of rotation, cropping and scaling.
