Abstract: | To address the problems of the inferior localization and high probability of false rejection in existing self-recovery fragile
watermarking algorithms, this paper proposes a new self-recovery fragile watermarking scheme with superior localization, and
further discusses the probability of false rejection (PFR) and the probability of false acceptance (PFA) of the proposed scheme.
Moreover, four measurements are defined to evaluate the quality of a recovered image. In the proposed algorithm, the original
image is divided into 2×2 blocks to improve localization precision and decrease PFR under occurrence of random tampering.
The PFR under occurrence of region tampering can be effectively decreased by randomly embedding the water-mark of each block
in conjunction with a novel method of tamper detection. Compared with the current self-recovery fragile watermarking algorithms,
the proposed scheme not only resolves the tamper detection problem of self-embedding water-marking, but also improves the
robustness against the random tampering of self-embedding watermarking. In addition, the subjective measurements are provided
to evaluate the performance of the self-recovery watermarking schemes for image authentication.
