摘要

In order to combine the copyright protection with the content authentication commendably in the digital watermark, this paper proposes an improved error correction coding -based multipurpose method where the authentication watermark and the robust watermark are embedded in the different coefficients of DCT transform domain respectively. In addition, to strengthen the security, the method still utilizes the error correction coding. Through a series of experiment, the invisibility of the method can be proved both from the PSNR value (PSNR=51.2dB) and the histogram equalization. The similarity between the original watermark and extracted watermark is almost above 95%. The proposed method is effective in image authentication and it's robust against some image processing operations, such as low- pass filtering, Gaussian noise, JPEG lossy compression, cropping and histogram equalization.
