Adrian G. Bors, Ioannis Pitas. Image Watermarking Using DCT Domain Constraints, (ICIP'96) IEEE International Conference on Image Processing, September. Vol. III 1996. pp. 231-234. [.Z]

 



ABSTRACT Watermarking algorithms are used for image copyright protection. The algorithms proposed in this study select certain blocks in the image based on a Gaussian network classifier. The pixel values of the selected blocks are modified such that their Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) coefficients fulfill a constraint imposed by the watermark code. Two different constraints are considered. The first approach consists of embedding a linear constraint among selected DCT coefficients and the second one defines circular detection regions in the DCT domain. A rule for generating the DCT parameters of distinct watermarks is provided. The watermarks embedded by the proposed algorithms are resistant to JPEG compression.
