  • Abstract
    In this paper, we propose to embed the watermark information in the log-2-spatio domain by means of spread spectrum technique. In log-2-spatio domain, the variance of the information is reduced significantly. This improves the efficiency and robustness of spread spectrum technique. Low intensity and mid-band regions are selected to embed the information in order to guarantee an invisible watermark as well as the robustness to JPEG compression. Simulation results show that the embedded information still survives up to the JPEG compression ratio of 14.7
