Abstract

The paper presents a novel watermarking scheme able to resist geometric attacks. The proposed method performs imperceptible watermarking of images in the spatial domain. To generate resistance to scaling and rotation attacks, two generalized Radon transformations of the image are introduced, while resistance to translation is accomplished through a localization of the watermarking method based on feature points of the image. The original image is not required for the detection process. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that the proposed scheme is able to withstand a variety of attacks including common geometric attacks.
