Abstract

This paper proposes a content-based authentication scheme for tampering detection and localization of binary images. The watermark is generated by the feature vector of the original binary image, and embedded back into the image by a structural method. The feature vector we used is Zernike moments. It can tell the degree of the tamper in the binary image. A distance between two feature vectors is defined. We authenticate image by the distance between the extracted watermark and the feature vector of the test image. Once the tampering is detected, we can locate the tampered areas by comparing different components of the distance. The experimental results show that the algorithm can locate the tamper effectively.
