Abstract

Content-aware watermarks represent a newgeneration of digital watermarks where thecontents of the image are taken into account atboth embedding and detection times. In thispaper, we present a performance analysis of acontent-aware watermarking algorithm interms of its impact on the perceptual quality ofwatermarked images using three different metrics.We also discuss the additional complexityinvolved in content-aware processing. Finally,based on our simulation results, we proposemethods for achieving a better trade-off betweenwatermark robustness and perceptualquality.
