Abstract

The correlation properties of zero-mean chaotic sequences generated by the Tent map in the discrete time domain are discussed in this paper. It is found that the chaotic sequences are nearly orthogonal to both the standard images and their DCT coefficients. The chaotic sequence has a broadband spectrum and the auto-correlation of these sequences is a delta-function and their cross-correlation is approximately zero. As an application, a chaotic watermarking scheme for copyright protection of digital images is presented. In this scheme, the watermark signal generated by the chaotic system provides sufficient watermark complexity. Watermark detection, which can be reliably extracted without referring to the original image, is performed by the correlation of the DCT coefficients of the watermarked image with the chaotic sequences. The experimental results show the robustness of the proposed scheme under JPEG compression, filtering, twirling, cropping and additive Gaussian noise.
