Binary Image Watermarking/Data Hiding: Data, Algorithms, and Distortion Measure

A package on binary image watermarking/data hiding, including data, algorithms & distortion measure.

This Matlab package shares my earlier work at Nanyang Technological University,
Singapore, on binary image watermarking (or data hiding). It includes binary
test images, and codes for binary image watermarking (or data hiding) algorithms
& distortion measure. Due to time constraint, the codes are not well-documented.
However, by referring to the respective papers, I hope you can get most of them.

***In all documents and papers reporting research work that uses the matlab
codes provided here, please cite the respective paper(s). Thanks!***
