contourlet transform

It is a challenging work to solve the geometric attack in the field of digital watermarking. In order to solve the synchronization between the host image and the watermark, image normalization is introduced. Firstly, the geometrically invariant space of image is constructed by using image normalization, and a region of interest (ROI) is obtained from the normalized image by utilizing the invariant centroid theory. Then, the contourlet transform is performed on the ROI. Low-pass sub-band coefficients are divided into non-overlapping blocks.
