Abstract
In this paper, we proposed a robust watermarking worked for multiple images and multiple users. This scheme adopted polynomial-based image secret sharing, DWT transform, and chaos technique. Secret sharing scheme provides better efficient on protecting copyright with multiple users, specifically in some situation, we are not easy to recover watermark by all participants. In order to verify copyright easier, we use polynomial-based image secret sharing scheme to reach a supervised verification. Any two users whose owns capability can recover the watermark with the trust authority. The experimental result shows that this scheme is efficient and robust.
