Abstract

In this paper, a robust image watermarking scheme based on all phase sine biorthogonal transform (APSBT), singular value decomposition (SVD) and dynamic stochastic resonance (DSR) is presented. Firstly, the cover image is transformed by APSBT and then a gray-scale logo is embedded through the singular value decomposition. After the authentication process which essentially resolves the false-positive extraction of SVD in watermarking, a phenomenon based on dynamic stochastic resonance is deployed for the logo extraction from the watermarked image. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme has better performance in the aspect of robustness and invisibility.
