Abstract

This paper proposes a reversible image watermarking scheme of low distortion and relatively large capacity, wherein prediction-errors are modified at most by 1 to embed secret bits. Different from most existing predictors, where only a partial prediction context is available, we provide a full context for every pixel in our watermarking scheme. Predictors operating on full contexts are preciser and thus produce smaller prediction-errors, which are more favorable for data embedding. Experimental results also validate that the proposed scheme can achieve high image fidelity while providing relatively large capacity.
