Abstract

This paper proposes a new watermarking scheme that is screen-shooting resilient. We try to design a watermarking scheme that can resist the distortion generated during the screen-shooting process while has a good invisibility. While embedding, we utilize the stability of the singular value matrix in terms of sign invariance to improve the robustness of our watermarking scheme. We use scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) algorithm to help with locating different embedding regions to embed repeatedly to further improve robustness. While extracting, we located more regions compared with embedding process to enhance the error-tolerant rate. Compared with the previous method, our watermarking scheme has a larger embedding capacity while performing better in terms of robustness and invisibility.
