Tamper Detection and Self-Recovery of Image Based on Self-Embedding

This paper presents a novel image watermarking scheme for both tamper detection and tampered image recovery. The basic principle of this scheme is to compress per block of the original image using SPIHT (Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees), then scramble and embed the bit stream into LSBs (Least Significant Bit) of corresponding offset block. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme can detect and locate tamper accurately, and recover tampered block data with satisfied image visual quality.
