An Iterative Watermarking Method Using Human Visual System

인간 시각 시스템을 이용한 반복적 워터마킹 기법

In this paper, a new watermarking method using an iterative scheme is proposed. The proposed method consists of two parts: watermark generation and its insertion. In the watermark generation, random signals with normalized distribution N(0,1) are produced and modified using an iterative scheme. In the watermark insertion, the resulting watermark signals are inserted into selected transform coefficients with various scaling parameters in order to achieve the invisibility and robustness against illegal attacks. The simulation results show that the proposed method has good performance for various attacks including image compression, filtering, etc.
