Robust watermarking of facial images based on salient geometric pattern matching
A. Nikolaidis, Ioannis Pitas · IEEE Transactions on Multimedia · 2000
We introduce a novel method for embedding and detecting a chaotic watermark in the digital spatial domain of color facial images, based on localizing salient facial features. These features define a certain area on which the watermark is embedded and detected. An assessment of the watermarking robustness is done experimentally, by testing resistance to several attacks, such as compression, filtering, noise addition, scaling, cropping and rotation.
