The method of Uchida and Kawamura, which uses SIFT feature points, has two problems.
One is that the pixel values of the feature points are overwritten in the embedding process, since the points are located in the center of the embedding regions.
The other is that the normalization of the embedding regions is also a cause of distortion, and then the watermarks might be not always extracted from the stego-images.
In order to solve the problems, we propose two techniques.
One is a doughnut-shaped embedding region, that is, watermarks are embedded in the normalized region excluding the center block which includes the feature point.
The other is an introduction of a large magnification ratio for small SIFT feature regions.
By extracting more feature points from a stego-image, higher error correction can be possible.
It is important for embedded feature points to be detected at extracting process.
We evaluated the detection ratio, bit error rate, and image quality for the conventional method and the proposed method.
As a result, whereas the image quality of the proposed method was unchanged from the conventional one, the detection ratio of the proposed one was twice as much as conventional one, and then the bit error rate could be decreased. |
