In ensuring the content of digital vector maps lossless, a high capacity digital watermarking algorithm is proposed based on encoding scheme. According to the structure of TAB file for digital vector maps, the watermark is hidden into the attribute blocks. As each vector object definition reserves redundant space, these information bits cannot be edited and displayed by any map editing tool, the watermark has good concealment. Experimental results show that the algorithm maintaining high capacity and good invisibility, it also can strongly resist various geometric transformations such as cropping, rotation, projection, etc..
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
