Abstract:

Fragile watermarking techniques ensured content authentication and tamper proofing but the permanent embedding distortion is intolerable in the medical field even it is imperceptible. The most adequate solution for this problem is the reversible watermarking. In this paper, we started by giving a short overview of some reversible watermarking techniques to pass thereafter to present an improvement of the Tian’s method.

Keywords: content authentication, medical field, reversible watermarking.
