A new watermarking scheme against inserter-based attacks suitable for digital media with moderate size

A novel watermarking scheme capable of resisting inserter-based attacks is proposed, which can only affect a few mark-carrying coefficients so that the embedded mark will survive. Although a sufficient number of the mark-carrying coefficients are modified after repeated performing such attacks, leading to the removal of the mark, the induced distortion will become intolerable to make the attacks meaningless.
