Lossless Watermarking Algorithm Based on Multiple-Base Notational System and Pixel Difference

Abstract

In order to identify the authenticity of the industrial packaging, the solution to the current watermark technology is mainly to embed the same watermark capacity into each pixel value in the image, so that the watermark capacity is small, and the anti-distortion performance is not good. Data watermarking algorithm based on system and pixel difference. First divide the carrier image into non-overlapping sub-blocks, and calculate the pixel difference of each sub-block; introduce a hybrid system to obtain different bases. According to the pixel difference, the base selection rule is defined; considering the human visual characteristics, the pixel interval adaptive adjustment mechanism is designed to improve the coding technology and complete the watermark information embedding; finally, the watermark information extraction mechanism is established to restore the watermark. The experimental results show that compared with the current data watermarking algorithm, the proposed algorithm has ideal imperceptibility, as well as larger watermark capacity and lower distortion.
