Abstract

In this paper an image authentication algorithm is proposed where the modified areas in an image are detected, besides an aproximation of the original image, called digest image Cdig, is recovered (recovery capability). Two different watermarks are used. One semi-fragile watermark w1 is used for authentication phase. The digest image Cdig is compressed using an arithmetic code, then redundancy is added by applying BCH error correcting code (ECC) resulting wdig. Finally both watermarks are embedded in the integer wavelet transform (IWT) domain. The proposed scheme is evaluated from different points of view: watermark imperceptibly, payload, accuracy detection of tamper area and robustness against some non intentional attacks. Experimental results show the system detects accurately where the image has been modified and the recovered digest image has a good quality. The proposed system is robust to noise insertion.
