Further Information
To enhance the traditional vector quantisation (VQ) system by adding the watermarking ability, a digital image watermarking scheme, which modifies the VQ indices to carry watermark bits, is presented. This scheme partitions the main codebook into two subcodebooks by referring to the user-key. Then, for each input vector of the cover image, a sub-codebook is selected according to the watermark bit to be embedding. The traditional VQ coding procedure is then done using the sub-codebook for the vector. Furthermore, to improve the performance of the scheme, a genetic codebook partition (GCP) procedure, which employs the genetic algorithm (GA) to find a better way to split the codebook, is proposed. It is demonstrated that the proposed methods provide faster encoding time. better impercept- ibility, stronger robustness under some common attacks, and easier implementation than some related VQ-based watermarking schemes proposed in the literature.
