A Subsampling and Quantization Based Watermarking Scheme Resisted the Permutation Attacking

Abstract

The paper proposed a subsampling and quantization based watermarking scheme to resist the permutation attack. The subsampling based watermarking schemes have drawn great attention for its convenience and effectiveness recently, but this kind of watermarking schemes is very vulnerable to the permutation attack. In this paper, the watermark information is embedded into the average values of the 3-level DWT coefficients to resist the permutation attack. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme can resist not only the permutation attack but also some common image processing attacks.
