Abstract
With the advancement of digital technologies and networks, all kinds of digital contents are distributed over Internet. However, piracy becomes increasingly rampant as customers can easily duplicate and redistribute the received digital content to a large audience. Digital watermarking has been used widely for the purposes of copyright protection and copy deterrence for multimedia content. This paper focus on a special kind of digital watermarking called reversible visible digital watermarking. We summarize the current state-of-the-art of reversible visible watermarking Technique and some of the major reversible visible digital watermarking schemes are introduced. We hope this review paper can encourage researchers to further explore more novel approaches on reversible visible watermarking.
