Abstract: In this paper an image authentication and recovery algorithm is proposed where the modified areas in an image are detected, and in addition an approximation of the original image, called a digest image Cdig, is recovered. Two different watermarks are used. One semi-fragile watermark w1 is used for the authentication phase. The second watermark wdig, is obtained by compressing the digest image Cdig using an arithmetic code, then redundancy is added by applying a BCH error correcting code (ECC). Finally both watermarks are embedded in the integer wavelet transform (IWT) domain. The proposed scheme is evaluated from different points of view: watermark imperceptibly, payload, detection of the tamper area and robustness against some non-intentional attacks. Experimental results show the system detects accurately where the image has been modified, and it is able to resist large modifications; for example, the system can tolerate modifications close to 10% of the total pi!
xels of the watermarked image and recover the 100% of the digest image. The watermarked image and recovered digest image have good quality, with average PSNR 39.88 dB and 28.63 dB, respectively, using ECC rate 0.34. The proposed system also is robust to noise insertion. It is able to tolerate close to 5% errors produced by salt and pepper noise insertion, while recovering 100% of the digest image.
