Enhancing the Binary Watermark-Based Data Hiding Scheme Using an Interpolation-Based Approach for Optical Remote Sensing Images

Computer networking and internet developments create new challenges in information security and copyright protection. In order to protect the multimedia data and also in some cases, for information management, the authors can use watermarking schemes to achieve more security. In this article, the authors firstly review a watermarking scheme for remote sensing applications, represented by Zhu et al.; They also explain two problems in Zhu et al.'s scheme and in addition, introduce two solutions for these problems. Generally, Zhu et al.'s scheme is a non-blind scheme that also does not have any attention to watermarked image quality, thus they try to represent ways in order to achieve the blind and quality-aware watermarking. Experimental results confirm that both of their modifications have suitable effectiveness than the original scheme whereas in practice, their modifications create an output with embedding capacity like the original scheme but it is high quality and also blind.
