Abstract

Here, we intend to introduce a new Fourier Transform. The well-known Analytical Fourier Mellin Transform (AFMT) will be defined on Clifford Algebra in order to process colored images. The proposed Fourier Transform is called Clifford Analytical Fourier Mellin Transform (CAFMT). Its magnitude, same as AFMT modulus, is invariant against planar similarities, not only on gray level images but also on colored images. Using ACFMT magnitude, we propose a robust watermarking technique in the frequency domain.
