Robust digital image adaptive zero-watermarking method

The invention discloses a robust digital image adaptive zero-watermarking method. The method mainly comprises two parts, namely zero-watermark embedding and zero-watermark detection, wherein both the zero-watermark embedding and the zero-watermark detection are performed in a composite domain of discrete wavelet transform and discrete fourier transform; the characteristics of high stability of a wavelet approximation subgraph obtained by the discrete wavelet transform and translation invariance of an amplitude spectrum obtained by the discrete fourier transform are fully utilized, so that the method has high robustness, can resist common image processing and is completely immune from image translation attack; meanwhile, because a binary digital watermark is not embedded into the original digital image but is registered into a watermark database, no damage is caused to the original digital image data, the problem of quality reduction of the image does not exist, the embedded binary digital watermark is completely imperceptible, and the contradiction between the robustness and the imperceptibleness of the digital watermark can be balanced well.
