Abstract
Image watermarking is a mapping from watermark message to a set of image counterparts, where every version conveys the same meaning with the original image. Since textures that present single perceptual meaning have certain diversity, an intuitive idea of watermarking is to replace the texture region of an image with a similar-looking synthetic texture containing the watermark. We propose a spread-spectrum watermarking scheme by integrating existent work on texture extraction, segmentation and synthesis, and obtain suggestive results, including (1) the synthetic watermarks can resist adaptive Wiener filtering attack due to its power spectrum similar with the original image; (2) if using the spread-spectrum carrier which is designed elaborately according to the subspace spanned by the textures, hiding capacity can be improved by 20%, while effective hiding capacity under Wiener filtering attack can be doubled; (3) the proposed watermarking scheme also enlighten a sophisticate strategy for watermark attack.
