Abstract

A novel method for image watermarking robust to geometric distortions is proposed. A binary watermark is embedded in a grayscale or a color host image. The ability of progressive watermark detection enables fast and robust watermark detection even after several geometric distortions of the watermarked image. Simulation results indicate the ability of the proposed method to deal with the aforementioned attacks. Experiments conducted using the Stirmark benchmarking tests, indicate the superiority of the proposed method.
