A robust watermarking method based on wavelet and Zernike transform

As watermarking is increasingly applied for a variety of applications, various properties of watermarks, such as how they respond to common signal transformations or deliberate attacks, have become important concerns. In this paper, we propose a new approach to embed watermark that is to modify the block average in wavelet domain. If the watermarked image has been attacked by geometric ways, we can figure it out by Zernike transform and then retrieve it. It is turned out by experiments that the method is not only robust to geometric attacks, but also to JPEG and Checkmark attacks.
