Abstract
In this paper, a hybrid prediction algorithm is designed to improve the histogram shifting based reversible watermarking method. This algorithm not only uses the local information near a pixel, but also utilizes the global information of the whole image. As a result, it produces a sharper histogram for watermark embedding. In addition, we enable the use of sorting idea by introducing an estimation function of the hybrid prediction. Experimental results illustrate that the proposed watermarking method outperforms many recently proposed methods.
