A Blind Watermarking Algorithm Research Based on Fast DCT

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article exploits a fast algorithm to watermark implant and extract, which first transform N×N(N=2n) two dimension DCT into one dimension DCT with N numbers of points. And then the adopted algorithm implants watermark using matrix decomposition and masterly adjusting interrelation of DCT coefficients, thus to make the visual distortion to be minima after a watermark being implanted in the image, in addition, this method is a blind approach. The results indicate that the algorithm enjoy high image reducing property and robustness to several common attacks when ensuring invisibility of watermark. Finally, it is also superior to R-C, index-mapping like matrix cut algorithms and can also improve calculating speed, which make it possible to apply for image protection.
