Abstract

Most of the past document image watermarking schemes focus on providing same level of integrity and copyright protection for information present in the source document image. However, in a document image the information contents possess various levels of sensitivity. Each level of sensitivity needs different type of protection and this demands multiple watermarking techniques. In this paper, a novel intelligent multiple watermarking techniques are proposed. The sensitivity of the information content of a block is based on the homogeneity and relative energy contribution parameters. Appropriate watermarking scheme is applied based on sensitivity classification of the block. Experiments are conducted exhaustively on documents. Experimental results reveal the accurate identification of the sensitivity of information content in the block. The results reveal that multiple watermarking schemes has reduced the amount of data to be embedded and consequently improved perceptual quality of the watermarked image.
