Abstract
AbstractBased on the superpixel segmentation mechanism, a novel fragile watermarking scheme for image authentication and recovery is proposed. For each superpixel region, the authentication watermark is generated by putting the pixels into a feedback-based chaotic system and embedded into the region itself. The content of each superpixel is compressed to construct the recovery watermark, which is embedded into another selected superpixel. To extract the authentication and recovery watermark properly, the superpixel boundaries are marked. The reliability of a superpixel is first determined by its authentication watermark. To improve detection accuracy, the recovery watermark extracted from authentic superpixels is utilized for precise detection. Moreover, the recovery information extracted from authentic superpixels is decompressed to recover the tampered regions. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can not only resist general counterfeiting attacks, especially vector quantization (VQ) attack, but also has an excellent performance on location accuracy and self-recovery.KeywordsSuperpixelsChaotic systemPrecise detectionAuthenticationSelf-recoveryVQ attackWatermarking
