Abstract

In image watermarking, the watermark robustness to geometric transformations is still an open problem. Using invariant image features to carry the watermark is an effective approach to addressing this problem. In this paper, a multibit geometrically robust image watermarking algorithm using Zernike moments is proposed. Some Zernike moments of an image are seleted, and their magnitudes are dither-modulated to embed an array of bits. The watermarked image is obtained via reconstruction from the modified moments and those left intact. In watermark extraction, the embedded bits are estimated from the invariant magnitudes of the Zernike moments using a minimum distance decoder. Simulation results show that the hidden message can be decoded at low error rates, robust against image rotation, scaling and flipping, and as well, a variety of other distortions such as lossy compression.
