Niansheng Liu, Guohao Yang, Donghui Guo, L. L. Cheng · 2008
A novel transform-domain image watermark based on chaotic sequences is proposed in this paper. A complex chaos-based scheme is developed to embed a gray-level image in the wavelet domain of the original color image signal. The chaos system plays an important role in the security and invisibility of the proposed scheme. The parameter and initial state of chaos system directly influence the generation of watermark information as a key. Meanwhile, the watermark information has the property of spread spectrum signal by chaotic sequence. To improve the invisibility of watermarked image Computer simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is imperceptible and is robust to most watermarking attacks, especially to image cropping, JPEG compression and multipliable noise.
