A novel local watermarking algorithm with geometric correction and block reconstruction is proposed to deal with losing effectiveness in resisting large scale geometric attacks. The robustness and extraction precision of watermarking can be improved by this algorithm. Image invariant centroid is extracted to estimate geometric deformation parameters
and then the corresponding geometric correction is performed to achieve the carrier synchronization. The embeddable blocks are selected by analyzing the geometric attack influences to the image visual quality. Taking advantage of the excellent image reconstruction ability of Gaussian-Hermite moments
specially designated block moment collection is modified to embed watermarks.The experiments show that the proposed algorithm with good visual invisibility enables to resist various geometric attacks and common image processing impacts.
