Watermarking scheme based on support vector machine for colour images

摘要

A novel watermarking scheme based on the support vector machine is proposed. The watermark is embedded in the blue channel of a colour image. By applying the embedded extra reference watermark, the support vector machine is trained, and then the watermark can be extracted by the trained support vector machine. Owing to the good generalisation ability of the support vector machine, even when the watermarked image is heavily distorted the watermark can be successfully extracted. Experimental results show good robustness of the proposed scheme.
