Abstract
This paper proposes a novel fragile watermarking scheme capable of recovering the original principal content in extensive areas. The watermark data are made up of two parts: reference-bits derived from the principal content of the host image and containing some necessary redundancy, and hash-bits matching the content of local blocks. While the reference-bits are embedded into the entire host image, the hash-bits are embedded into the local blocks. On the authentication side, after identifying the tampered areas, the watermark data extracted from the reserved regions can provide sufficient information to restore the principal content of host image even when the rate of tampered blocks is large.
