Color image digital watermark method capable of resisting stamping, printing and scanning processes

The invention relates to a color image digital watermark method capable of resisting stamping, printing and scanning processes and belongs to the technical fields of anti-counterfeit, authentication and information safety. The invention adopts the technical scheme that an L*a*b* color space of a color carrier image is represented by quaternary supercomplex number; readable watermark information is encoded and modulated to generate a two-dimensional watermark signal in a form of the quaternary supercomplex number; and the watermark embedding position is determined by a uniform discrete logarithmic polar coordinates method. The color image digital watermark method capable of resisting stamping, printing and scanning processes has the beneficial effects that the embedding capacity of watermarks is large; the robustness resisting synchronous distortion is strong; the gap of an image quality evaluation function of the color image is filled; self-adaption embedding of the watermarks with highest strength is realize
