Abstract
Fragile watermarking schemes are very common in practice for tamper detection and image authentication. In this paper, we propose a new fragile watermarking scheme to detect common image tampering operations such as copy and paste attack and image splicing attack from color images. The proposed scheme is intended to do the watermarking with an image dependent authentication code during color image demosaicking procedure. We propose a new method to generate almost unique authentication code from an image by comparing RGB color components of the pixels. In the proposed scheme, every pixel will be watermarked with an encrypted authentication code derived from the same pixel. To embed the watermark a new method has been proposed in this paper, where the color filter array sampled components will not be considered during watermarking, and only the rebuilt color component values of every pixel will be modified according to the authentication code. The experimental study shows that the proposed watermarking scheme produces images with better visual quality as compared to the state-of-the-art, and is capable of detecting both copy and paste attacks and image splicing attacks more accurately than the existing schemes.
