Abstract

This paper presents a novel prediction error expansion (PEE) based reversible watermarking using 3 \(\times \) 3 neighborhood of a pixel. Use of a good predictor is important in this kind of watermarking scheme. In the proposed predictor, the original pixel value is predicted based on a selected set, out of the eight neighborhood of a pixel. Moreover, the value of prediction error expansion (PEE) is optimally divided between current pixel and top-diagonal neighbor such that distortion remains minimum. Experimental results show that the proposed predictor with optimal embedding outperforms several other existing methods.
