Abstract

This paper presents a new robust, blind and good imperceptibility 3D mesh double watermarks algorithm. Two different kinds of watermarks are embedded into one 3D mesh model. One watermarking algorithm based on mesh feature segmentation and the DCT transformation, the other based on redundancy information of 3D model. The two watermarks do not disturb each other during embedding and extracting. Several mesh models are applied to test the robustness, imperceptibility and efficiency of the proposed algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed watermark scheme can not only keep good imperceptibility but also resist various attacks, such as similarity transformations (translation, rotation, scaling and combinations of the three operations), file attack, signal processing attacks (noising, smoothing and vertex coordinate quantization) and connectivity attacks (cropping).
