Abstract

The paper introduces a robust image watermark based on an invariant image feature vector. Normalized Zernike moments of an image are used as the vector. The watermark is generated by modifying the vector. The watermark signal is designed with Zernike moments. The signal is added to the cover image in the spatial domain after the reconstruction process. We extract the feature vector from the modified image and use it as the watermark. The watermark is detected by comparing the computed Zernike moments of the test image and the given watermark vector. Rotation invariance is achieved by taking the magnitude of the Zernike moments. An image normalization method is used for scale and translation invariance. The robustness of the proposed method is demonstrated and tested using Stirmark 3.1. The test results show that our watermark is robust with respect to geometrical distortions and compression.
