Abstract

In this paper, a lossless watermarking technique in dealing with halftone images is proposed to achieve both copyright protection and exact recovery of the original halftone image with legal authorization. Experimental results show that pattern substitution along with an appropriate block cutting on a halftone image makes possible the positive recovery of the original halftone image after the extraction of a watermark.
