A Novel Frequency Domain Watermarking of 2D Vector Graphics

Published: 22 August 2024 Publication History

Abstract

Vector graphics has been employed in a wide variety of applications due to its scalability and editability. A drawing in a standard vector graphics file, such as SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), is composed of numerous paths, and a path typically consists of a list of Bézier curves. Traditional vector graphics watermarking techniques, such as Fourier and wavelets, require the initial step of sampling the Bézier curve to obtain a large number of discrete points. However, these methods allow only one line to be selected for watermarking.
In this paper, we introduce a novel watermarking of 2D vector graphics based on a new class of orthogonal function system(V-system). It can exactly represent all curves in a vector graphics by a global format directly, eliminating the need for sampled processing. Furthermore, multiple curves can be easily watermarked simultaneously by modifying the V descriptors. A watermark embedded using this method can be successfully extracted even under transformation attacks. Experimental results confirm the imperceptibility and robustness of the proposed method.
