Problems solved by technology

Since the common digital watermarking technology more or less changes the characteristics of the original image and cannot meet the high-fidelity requirements of medical images, it is urgent to seek a new means of copyright protection for medical images.

[0004] The existing methods for medical image copyright protection mainly include: reversible medical watermarking algorithm, medical watermarking algorithm based on non-interest region, compressed domain watermarking algorithm, etc.; reversible medical watermarking algorithm mainly adopts a reversible thinking mode, that is, in After the watermark is extracted, the image can be restored to its original state without distortion, thereby eliminating the distortion caused by watermark embedding; although reversible digital watermarking has its own advantages, the amount of data that can be embedded is small, and the safety factor is not high , the protection of medical images only exists during the transmission process. Once it reaches the terminal, it will return to the original state and no longer have a protective effect; the medical watermarking algorithm based on the non-interest area is to embed the watermark information in the non-interest area of ​​the medical image ; Since most medical images have a black background, the amount of information hiding is very limited, and the process of finding non-interest regions of medical images is very cumbersome, which usually requires manual intervention, which increases the complexity and workload of the algorithm; The medical watermarking algorithm is to embed the watermark in the compressed domain, that is, to embed the watermark directly into the coded compressed bit stream

The advantage of this algorithm is that it avoids a large number of encoding and decoding processes, so the computational complexity is low, it will not cause the decline in the quality of medical image data, and it will give full play to the advantages of time; however, due to the limitation of the compression bit rate In addition to the amount of data embedded in the watermark, the embedding method is also limited by the corresponding image compression algorithm standard.
