Abstract

A novel embedding watermark signal generation scheme based on feature extraction is proposed in this paper. The original binary watermark image is divided into two blocks with the same size and each block is changed into one dimension sequences. After that, Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is used to extract the independent features of them, which are regarded as two embedding watermark signals. In the embedding procedure, the embedding watermark signals are embedded in some selected wavelet coefficients of the subaudios obtained by subsampling. And Self-synchronization is implemented by applying special peak point extraction scheme. The blind extraction procedure is basically the converse procedure of the embedding one. And the original watermark image can be recovered with the help of the mixing matrix of the ICA. Experimental results show the validity of this scheme.
