Communication and information theory in watermarking: a survey

This paper presents a review of some influential work in the area of digital watermarking using communications and information-theoretic analysis. After a brief introduction, some popular approaches are classified into different groups and an overview of various algorithms and analysis is provided. Insights and potential future trends in the area of watermarking theory are discussed.
