A three-dimensional text image watermarking model based on multilayer overlapping of extracted two-dimensional information

Abstract

Aiming at the problem that watermark information is easy to be lost in two-dimensional text image watermarking, a three-dimensional text image watermarking model is proposed based on multilayer overlapping of extracted two-dimensional information, and a specific method is accordingly realized by means of embedding, extracting and overlapping of multiple watermarks in sequence. We discuss the influence of the sequence order, positional distancing and color difference of the extracted multiple two-dimensional information on displaying a three-dimensional text watermark image. In addition, considering the crucial evaluation indices of the invisibility and robustness for the watermarking algorithm, the selection method for superior embedding regions of multiple watermarks is also constructed to enhance the robust performance of watermarks under the premise of effective invisibility. Moreover, we embed the multiple two-dimensional information into the host image by using the undecimated dual-tree complex wavelet transforms - bidiagonal singular value decomposition algorithm. In this way, the extracted multiple two-dimensional information is automatically overlapped to generate the three-dimensional text watermarking according to the optimal matching parameters. We use standard image processing data set to carry out experiments, the results show that the peak signal to noise ratio before and after embedded watermarks is higher than 39 dB, and the peak signal to noise ratio between the original watermarks and the extracted watermarks is more than 37 dB, which is superior to the current reported watermark model. Therefore, it is suggested that the proposed model shows good invisibility and robustness and can reduce the loss of watermark during transmission and attack as much as possible.
