ROBUST BLIND WATERMARK ALGORITHM OF COLOR IMAGE BASED ON NEURAL NETWORK

A new algorithm of color image blind watermarking based on BP neural network and wavelet significant tree is proposed. In YCbCr, the luminance component is decomposed with wavelet, and the wavelet significant tree can be found. Then the correlativity among nodes of wavelet significant tree is described by the nonlinear relationship responded by the trained BP neural network. Based on the relationship, the watermark is embedded into wavelet significant trees. Finally, the embedded watermark can be extracted without original image. The experimental results show that the embedded watermark can be extracted preferably in some common attacks, and this algorithm has better transparency and stronger robustness with some comparisons to other algorithms.
