| Popis: | A novel visual Quick Response (QR) code algorithm based on Wavelet transform and Human Visual System (HVS) approach is presented in this study and named DWT-QR. Unlike other QR codes are generally embedded in the spatial domain, the composite coefficients using global and local characteristics of the host image are considered in the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) domain for the visual QR codes. In order to get the best perceptual embedding capability of visual QR codes, the collaboration of the perceptual model of contrast-sensitive function (CSF) with the noise reduction of the visibility thresholds for HVS in DWT domain, achieves the goal of fine tuning of the perceptual weights according to the basis function amplitudes for the best quality of perceptual visibility. In addition, the computation of Noise Visibility Function (NVF) characterizes the local image properties to determine the optimal QR code strength during the QR codes embedding stage. After the detection pattern embedded for the visual QR codes, different distortion attacks have been performed for the proposed method. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed DWT-QR approach outperforms the known techniques and not only improves the visual quality of the images but also the robustness against various attacks. |
