Abstract

In this paper, a copyright protection method for digital image with 1/T rate forward error correction (FEC) is proposed. In the proposed method, the original image is lossless and the watermark is robust to malicious attacks. The watermark logo is fused with noise bits to improve the security, and later XORed with the feature value of the image by 1/T rate FEC. During extraction, the watermark bits are determined by majority voting, and the extraction procedure needs neither the original image nor the watermark logo. Experimental results show that not only the image is lossless but also the proposed method can effectively resist the common geometric and nongeometric attacks. Since the proposed method is based on spatial domain and transferring to frequency domain is not needed, the embedding and extraction performances are improved.
