چکیده
This paper presents a new digital watermarking algorithm for color halftone images. According to the Minimal Brightness Variation Quadruples (MBVQ), this paper gets the conclusion that each pixel of color halftone image belongs to one of the five MBVQs. Based on the edge and MBVQ, this algorithm implements the watermark embedding in the halftone process. Experimental results show that the algorithm has a good transparent watermark, furthermore, it is robust against various signal processing such as random alternation, text addition and geometric shear.

Research on Color Watermarking Algorithm Based on RDWT-SVD
In this paper, a color image watermarking algorithm based on Redundant Discrete Wavelet Transform (RDWT) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is proposed. The new algorithm selects blue component of a color image to carry the watermark information since the Human Visual System (HVS) is least sensitive to it. To increase the robustness especially towards affine attacks, RDWT is adopted for its...
متن کاملMultipurpose Color Image Watermarking Algorithm Based on IWT and Halftoning
In the security of digital contents, almost all previous works tried to attend either the copyright protection issue or the content authentication issue, however recently some proposals try to solve simultaneously both problems. In this paper, a multipurpose method that tries to solve both problems for color images, using two watermarking algorithms, is proposed. The first algorithm is based on...
متن کاملHiding color watermarks in halftone images using maximum-similarity binary patterns
This paper presents a halftoning-based watermarking method that enables the embedding of a color image into binary black-and-white images. To maintain the quality of halftone images, the method maps watermarks to halftone channels using homogeneous dot patterns. These patterns use a different binary texture arrangement to embed the watermark. To prevent a degradation of the host image, a maximi...
متن کاملHybrid Watermarking Scheme for Halftone Images
As digital halftone images are widely used in the printing of books, magazines, newspapers and computer printers, the ease with which perfect copies can be made, may lead to large-scale unauthorized copying. Watermarking has been considered for many copy prevention and copyright protection applications. The hybrid watermarking system is proposed for halftone images that the watermarks embedded ...
متن کاملAdaptive Halftone Watermarking Algorithm Based on Particle Swarm Optimization
Digital watermarking has been widely used in copyright protection for digital images, but most of the watermarking algorithm can't resist print-and-scan process. Print-and-scan attack is a challenging problem for most of digital watermarks. A watermarking algorithm against print-and-scan attack based on PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) is proposed in this paper. The watermark information is em...
