Maximizing Strength of Digital Watermarks Using Fuzzy Logic

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel digital watermarking scheme in DCT domain based fuzzy inference system and the human visual system to adapt the embedding strength of different blocks. Firstly, the original image is divided into some 8×8 blocks, and then fuzzy inference system according to different textural features and luminance of each block decide adaptively different embedding strengths. The watermark detection adopts correlation technology. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme has good imperceptibility and high robustness to common image processing operators.
