Abstract
In this paper, we propose a print-scan resilient watermarking method which takes advantage of multiple watermarking. The method presented here consists of three separate watermarks out of which two are used for inverting the geometrical transformations and the third is the multibit message watermark. A circular template watermark is embedded in magnitudes of the Fourier transform to invert rotation and scale after print-scan process and another template watermark is embedded in spatial domain to invert translations. The message watermark is embedded in wavelet domain and watermark robustness in both approximation coefficient and detail coefficients is tested. Blind, cross-correlation based methods are utilized to extract the watermarks. The obtained success ratios were at least 91% with JPEG and JPEG200 quality factors of 80-100 and scanner resolution of 300dpi. The BER obtained with the previous settings was less than 1.5%.
