In this paper, we propose an image authentication scheme in which image features are embedded for copyright protection and content-tampering detection. The features are based on the invariance of the relationship among SVD coefficients. The proposed method is sensitive to malicious manipulations and robust to lossy compressions or regular image operations, such as brightening, shifting, averaging, rotation, and so on. Several experiments demonstrated that the proposed scheme could efficiently detect locations which have been tampered with and effectively resist several types of attacks. Moreover, stego images based on our proposed method have high visual quality.
