A Study of Watermarking Application in Medical Digital Images

Article Preview

Abstract:

Watermarking, as a new technology, has been applied widely in medical images field for its advantages. This paper emphasizes on these works as follows: firstly analyzes the secure requirements of medical images and watermarking functions from the practical applications view, and then reviews some typical algorithms of the existing watermarking and presents a universal evaluating scheme for medical digital images watermarking, finally, some further works are proposed. The purpose for this paper is to study the present watermarking methods and promote the new schemes emergence effectively.
