Abstract :
We propose near-lossless digital watermarking for copyright protection of remote sensing images. In particular, we show that, by forcing a maximum absolute difference between the original and watermarked scene, the near-lossless paradigm makes it possible to decrease the effect of watermarking on remote sensing applications to be carried out on the images. As an example, the effect of near-lossless watermarking on image classification is analyzed.
