A new image watermarking scheme is presented to achieve high capacity information hiding and geometric invariance simultaneously. Visually salient region is introduced into watermark synchronization. The saliency value of a region is used as the quantitative measure of robustness, based on which the idea of locally most salient region (LMSR) is proposed to generate the disjoint invariant regions. A meaningful binary watermark is then encoded using Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) in transform domain. Simulation results and comparisons demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
