Lots of anti-RST attacks watermarking algorithms have been proposed, but few solutions for local geometric attacks, in this paper it proposed a new algorithm combined with the the Wavelet Moment for an anti-geometric attacks. Since wavelet moment was proposed, it is widely used in the field of computer vision, image processing, but the large amount of computation must be improved to be applied to digital watermarking technology so that it can adapt to the real-time detection of digital watermarking. By image rotation, scaling, translation, shear, local distortions, filtering attack operations and so on, these attacks can be seen that the algorithm has good robustness, and the efficiency of watermark detection is relatively high. The experiments show that the algorithm is robustness, greatly accelerate the speed of operation, to unify the robust and efficient.

To resolve the contradiction between existing watermarking methods—which are not compatible with the watermark’s ability to resist geometric attacks—and robustness, a robust multi-watermarking algorithm suitable for medical images is proposed. First, the visual feature vector of the medical image was obtained by dual-tree complex wavelet transform and discrete cosine transform (DTCWT-DCT) to perform multi-watermark embedding and extraction. Then, the multi-watermark was preprocessed using the henon map chaotic encryption technology to strengthen the security of watermark information, and combined with the concept of zero watermark to make the watermark able to resist both conventional and geometric attacks. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively extract watermark information; it implements zero watermarking and blind extraction. Compared with existing watermark technology, it has good performance in terms of its robustness and resistance to geometric attacks and conventional attacks, especially in geometric attacks.

Zero-watermarking is one of the solutions for image copyright protection without tampering with images, and thus it is suitable for medical images, which commonly do not allow any distortion. Moment-based zero-watermarking is robust against both image processing and geometric attacks, but the discrimination of watermarks is often ignored by researchers, resulting in the high possibility that host images and fake host images cannot be distinguished by verifier. To this end, this paper proposes a PCET- (polar complex exponential transform-) based zero-watermarking scheme based on the stability of the relationships between moment magnitudes of the same order and stability of the relationships between moment magnitudes of the same repetition, which can handle multiple medical images simultaneously. The scheme first calculates the PCET moment magnitudes for each image in an image group. Then, the magnitudes of the same order and the magnitudes of the same repetition are compared to obtain the content-related features. All the image features are added together to obtain the features for the image group. Finally, the scheme extracts a robust feature vector with the chaos system and takes the bitwise XOR of the robust feature and a scrambled watermark to generate a zero-watermark. The scheme produces robust features with both resistance to various attacks and low similarity among different images. In addition, the one-to-many mapping between magnitudes and robust feature bits reduces the number of moments involved, which not only reduces the computation time but also further improves the robustness. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme meets the performance requirements of zero-watermarking on the robustness, discrimination, and capacity, and it outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in terms of robustness, discrimination, and computational time under the same payloads.

Digital medical system not only facilitates the storage and transmission of medical information but also brings information security problems. Aiming at the security of medical images, a robust zero watermarking algorithm for medical images based on Zernike-DCT is proposed. The algorithm first uses a chaotic logic sequence to preprocess and encrypt the watermark, then performs edge detection and Zernike moment processing on the original medical image to get the accurate edge points, and then performs discrete cosine transform (DCT) on them to get the feature vector. Finally, it combines perceptual Hash and zero watermark technology to generate the key to complete the watermark embedding and extraction. The algorithm has good robustness to conventional and geometric attacks, strong antinoise ability, high positioning accuracy, and processing efficiency and is superior to the classical edge detection algorithm in extraction effect. It is a stable and reliable image edge detection algorithm.

Watermarking Scheme

Healthcare institutions adapt cloud based archiving of medical images and patient records to share them efficiently. Controlled access to these records and authentication of images must be enforced to mitigate fraudulent activities and medical errors. This paper presents a zero-watermarking scheme implemented in the composite Contourlet Transform (CT)—Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) domain for unambiguous authentication of medical images. Further, a framework is proposed for accessing patient records based on the watermarking scheme. The patient identification details and a link to patient data encoded into a Quick Response (QR) code serves as the watermark. In the proposed scheme, the medical image is not subjected to degradations due to watermarking. Patient authentication and authorized access to patient data are realized on combining a Secret Share with the Master Share constructed from invariant features of the medical image. The Hu’s invariant image moments are exploited in creating the Master Share. The proposed system is evaluated with Checkmark software and is found to be robust to both geometric and non geometric attacks.

Digital Watermarking is a technology, to facilitate the authentication, copyright protection and Security of digital media. The objective of developing a robust watermarking technique is to incorporate the maximum possible robustness without compromising with the transparency. Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) using Firefly Algorithm provides this objective of an optimal robust watermarking technique. Multiple scaling factors are used to embed the watermark image into the host by multiplying these scaling factors with the Singular Values (SV) of the host image. Firefly Algorithm is used to optimize the modified host image to achieve the highest possible robustness and transparency. This approach can significantly increase the quality of watermarked image and provide more robustness to the embedded watermark against various attacks such as noise, geometric attacks, filtering attacks etc.
