Abstract
It is well known that robustness, fragility, and security are three important criteria of image hashing; however how to build a system that can strongly meet these three criteria is still a challenge. In this paper, a content-based image hashing scheme using wave atoms is proposed, which satisfies the above criteria. Compared with traditional transforms like wavelet transform and discrete cosine transform (DCT), wave atom transform is adopted for the sparser expansion and better characteristics of texture feature extraction which shows better performance in both robustness and fragility. In addition, multi-frequency detection is presented to provide an application-defined trade-off. To ensure the security of the proposed approach and its resistance to a chosen-plaintext attack, a randomized pixel modulation based on the Rényi chaotic map is employed, combining with the nonliner wave atom transform. The experimental results reveal that the proposed scheme is robust against content-preserving manipulations and has a good discriminative capability to malicious tampering.
