Abstract
Recently compressed sensing or compressive sampling (CS), apart from its intrinsic applications of sub-sample signal reconstruction, is explored a lot in the design of bandwidth preserving-energy efficient wireless networks. At the same time, due to open nature of wireless channel, digital data (media) transmission needs their protection from unauthorized access and digital watermarking has been devised as one form of potential solution over the years. Among the various methods, spread spectrum (SS) watermarking is found to be efficient due to its improved robustness and imperceptibility. SS watermarking on digital images in presence of additive and multiplicative noise is studied a lot. To the best of knowledge, CS-SS watermarking in presence of both multiplicative (fading channel) and additive noise is not explored much in the existing literature. To address this problem, a wireless communication theoretic model is suggested here to develop an improved detection scheme on additive SS image watermark framework. System model considers sub-sample (CS) transmission of the watermarked image over both non-fading and fading channel. Then a diversity assisted weighted combining scheme for the improved watermark detection is developed. An optimization problem is formulated where the weight for the individual link is calculated through eigen filter approach to maximize the watermark detection probability for a fixed false alarm rate under the constraint of an embedding power (strength). A large set of simulation results validate the mathematical model of the diversity assisted compressive watermark detector.
