Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We propose a new recoverable digital image watermarking method based on the lifting wavelet transform. The lifting scheme contains free parameters that enable us to construct filters having features of the original image. Using these parameters, we can produce new filters to remove an embedded watermark from the watermarked image and recover the original image. These new filters play the role of a recovery key for recovering the original image. The watermarked image can deter image piracy at the same time, because the copyright infringer cannot remove the watermark and take the liberty of using the original copyrighted image without the recovery key. Therefore, only the person who is authorized to have the recovery key can use the original image. We also propose a new computer-aided diagnosis method for detecting early esophageal cancer from endoscopic image by using wavelet transform and fractal dimension.
