Abstract

Because of the unavoidable need to Internet in data exchange and multimedia use, in addition to the expand of electronic commerce, digital watermarking has been presented as solution to the copy protection of multimedia against properties stealing. In the diffusion process, informations are subject to different malicious or unintended attacks. In the other hand, because of the need to reduce the amount of manipulated data, the jpeg lossy compression remains the more involuntary attack used with data manipulating. This paper proposes a novel method for image watermarking based on the parametric space of the mathematical Hough transform. This space is used as a transform domain to process the image and embed the watermark. Different attacks permitting to test the robustness of the proposed watermarking scheme are simulated by the STIRMARK tool. After different applied attacks, experimental results show that the proposed method is very robust against lossy compression, and some geometrical attacks without any need to use the transformed DCT or multi-resolution domains.
