Abstract
A verification system for still images that embeds a watermark so that no visual artifacts are created in the images and thus maintains the visual quality of the image. The algorithm embeds information in an uncompressed image so as to later detect the alteration of the image, as well as the location of the alteration. The embedding of information into a source image is based on a defined mapping process. An image plane consists of macroblocks, which are themselves comprised of microblocks. A code is embedded corresponding to the value of this image property in each macroblock. The specific sequence of microblocks used for embedding this information in the watermarking image plane is a unique function of this property for the corresponding set of microblocks in the indexing image plane. This information can be later decoded from the stamped image. The watermark is embedded by combining the pixel values of the image with the watermark. The watermark is altered if the image is altered.
