Abstract
In this paper, a new watermarking method is presented to embed a binary watermark into an image. The proposed method uses a special type of fractal coding that its parameters are contrast scaling and the mean of range block. Also, it utilizes the fuzzy C-mean clustering to address the watermark bits. The experimental results show that the proposed method has high robustness against signal distortion such as JPEG compression, median filter and additive noise.
