Abstract
A watermarking algorithm of binary images using adaptable matrix is presented. An adaptable matrix is designed to evaluate the smoothness and the connectivity of binary images. The watermark is embedded according to the adaptable matrix in this algorithm. In the proposed watermarking algorithm, each image block implements a XOR operation with the binary adaptable matrix, which has the same size with the image block, and in order to embed the watermark data, a multiplication operation are also implemented with the weight matrix. The experimental results show that proposed scheme has a good performance.
