Many existing researches on image watermarking for copyright protection need to use original image in retrieving watermark. Though it is more robust, it would cause some problems about the authorization of original image. In this thesis, we propose a method based on DCT domain without using original image. Using the property of concentrating energy in DCT transform, the energies of blocks are used for further processing. In the embedding algorithm, the DC coefficients of blocks are first collected. Then they are divided by some number to get remainders. The values of embedded data are embedded in the relationship between corresponding location of embedded data and other locations by adjusting the remainders in all locations.
Some typical watermarking attacks and noise are used to evaluate the robustness of our method. Compared with other competing algorithms, it shows that the survival rate of watermark in our method can be almost the same or even better then those methods which need original image. The error rate of the lowest quality JPEG compression can be adjusted less then 1%, when the length of embedding data is 512 bits. Our proposed method can be further improved by adjusting the values of remainders and the block size. These provide flexibility to satisfy different requirements.
