Summary: | This paper proposes a novel Octonion Krawtchouk Moments (OKMs) transform to deal with a set of images in a compact manner, and based on this transform, a local zero-watermarking scheme is proposed to protect the copyright of CT medical images. The scheme first annotates regions of interest (ROIs) on seven medical images and then uses the OKMs of these ROIs to construct a single feature image called zero-watermark. This scheme adopts the gray Wolf Optimizer (GWO) algorithm to have a blind nature and to improve robustness against common image processing manipulations and attacks (zero-watermarking requirements). In addition, our scheme uses the trained U-net (R231) model to reduce the search space for the GWO algorithm and prevent this algorithm from getting stuck in a local optimal solution. The experimental results show that the proposed method is very robust against common image processing manupilations and attacks and has superiority compared with superb other zero-watermarking methods. |
