Abstract
We proposed an improved digital watermarking algorithm based on random sequence into reversible watermarking algorithm. Therefore, this method will use the robust watermarking algorithm of the well-known random sequence as embedding approach. Sobel edge detection algorithm is employed to extract the pixel value of edges from the watermarked image. And the final watermarked image is produced by replace the original image corresponding to the pixel value of the edges for the purpose of embedding watermark. Because the robust watermarking algorithm can tolerate the image which is destroyed to protect the copyright, there is no watermarking examination problem although this approach causes some loss of watermark information according to the experiment result. Moreover, it can not only examine whether the image has embedded watermarks, but also restore the original image.
