Abstract

This paper presents a watermarking method using fractals. In the method discussed here, the host image is encoded by the proposed fractal coding method. To embed the watermark evenly over the whole host image, specific Range blocks are selected. Then, the scrambled watermark is inserted into the selected Range blocks. Finally, the watermarked image is obtained by the fractal decoding method. Simulation results have proven the imperceptibility of the proposed scheme and shown the robustness against various attacks.
