“…Particularly in the application of robust digital watermark, scrambling technique is a very effective method against cropping attack by shuffling watermark image so that the pixels are dispersed in the position space of carrier image. The popular image scrambling methods include Arnold transform [1-3, 10-12, 18], Fibonacci transform [7,10,13,14], Peano-Hilbert space filling curve [19], knight's tour [8,20], Lucas transform [16], magic square transform [9,17], Gray code [21,22], cellular automata [15,[23][24][25], Baker map [4][5][6]26], subaffine transform [27], and sampling technology [28].…”
