Abstract
The new image watermarking algorithm based on reversible walsh-Hadamard transform and prediction error extension was proposed. The carrier image was segmented into non-overlappingsub-blocks, and the Hadamard domain was got by introducing the Walsh-Hadamard transform to process each sub-block for extracting DC component and AC component coefficient. An accurate prediction coefficient was determined based on the prediction error expansion and adaline neural network to construct linear predictive function to predict AC coefficients and calculate the error of each AC coefficient. The binary representation of AC coefficient error was finished, and the error expansion was done based on watermark information. A smooth extension block from all sub blocks was specified by considering the problem of pixels overflow or underflow, and the watermark information was embed into an extension block by designing the watermark embedding method so that watermark image was outputted by reversible walsh-Hadamard transform. The watermark extraction mechanism was constructed to extract watermark information from the watermark image. The experimental results show that this algorithm had higher perception and lower distortion compared with the current watermark image.
