abstract = {A digital watermark is an invisible mark embedded in a
digital image which may be used for a number of different purposes
including image captioning and copyright protection. This paper
describes how a combination of spread spectrum encoding of the embedded
message and transform-based invariants can be used for digital image
watermarking. In particular, it is described how a Fourier-Mellin-based
approach can be used to construct watermarks which are designed to be
unaffected by any combination of rotation and scale transformations. In
addition, a novel method of CDMA spread spectrum encoding is introduced
which allows one to embed watermark messages of arbitrary length and
which need only a secret key for decoding. The paper also describes the
usefulness of Reed Solomon error-correcting codes in this scheme.},
