Color qr code digital watermarking method with low false alarm rate

Abstract

The invention relates to a low-false-alarm-rate color QR code digital watermarking method, which is a quick and efficient double color image watermarking algorithm based on color QR codes and DWT-SVD technology. Tone-level-rich color QR codes are normalized and embedded to a carrier image obtained after DWT conversion and SVD decomposition through different channels, so that the watermarking method not only has good invisibility, but also can be resistant to conventional attacks of cutting, rotation, JPEG compression, Gaussian noise and salt-and-pepper noise and the like, and has good robustness and higher QR code decoding rate. Insertion of a lot of information can be realized through insertion and extraction of the tone-level-rich color QR codes, thereby meeting requirements of high-end companies for the watermarking algorithm; meanwhile, the method also has faster operation speed, so that efficiency is improved greatly; and through insertion of a check mark, under the condition that the watermarked carrier image obtained after attacks can be extracted normally, the problem of high false alarm rate of an SVD decomposition algorithm is effectively solved. The watermarking method has a certain application value in digital right management.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a digital watermark technology, in particular to a color QR code digital watermark method with a low false alarm rate. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of the Internet, images, as the main carrier of information transmission, play an irreplaceable role in information transmission. However, due to the openness of images in the process of Internet transmission, the tampering and abuse of information has become increasingly serious. As the main means of copyright protection, digital watermarking technology has effectively solved most of the copyright disputes. At present, there are many watermarking technologies for images, but most watermarking technologies use binary images as watermark embeddings. Although they have copyright protection functions and fast extraction speeds, for companies that require more perfection, color watermarks are embedded in color images. The demand is increasing day by day...
