抗几何攻击的数字图像版权保护算法

为了在保证图像质量的前提下实施图像的版权保护,提出了一种基于Krawtchouk矩和标识信息的零水印算法.该方法利用从图像中提取的特征信息来构造水印,从而达到版权保护的目的.主要步骤为,首先计算原始图像的Krawtchouk低阶矩不变量来构建水印信息,接着将水印信息和密钥信息在第三方登记注册并获得标识信息,最后通过标识信息确认版权所有者.水印提取过程简单,只需计算所得图像的几个低阶Krawtchouk矩不变量.文中给出了实验结果,并与传统几何矩不变量的算法进行了比较. 结果表明,该方法对旋转、缩放、剪切、组合攻击、平移和去掉行等几何攻击以及滤波、JPEG压缩等攻击具有更高的稳健性.

NEW APPROACH TO COPYRIGHT PROTECTION OF IMAGE AGAINST GEOMETRICAL ATTACKS

To protect the copyright of the image as well as the image quality, a kind of image zero-watermark method based on the Krawtchouk moment invariants and timestamp is proposed. A method is used to protect the image, in which features are drawn out from the image as the watermarking. The main steps of the method are presented. Firstly, some low-order moment invariants of the image are extracted. Secondly, the moment invariants and the key are registered to a fair third party to gain the timestamp. Finally, the timestamp can be used to prove who the real owner is. The processing method is simple, only with a few low-order moment invariants to be computed. Experimental results are obtained and compared with those of the method based on geometric moment invariants. Results show that the scheme can well withstand such geometrical attacks as rotating, scaling, cropping, combined attack, translating, removing lines, filtering, and JPEG lossy compression.
