This paper present a simple watermarking approach based on the rotation of low frequency components of image blocks. The rotation process is performed with less distortion by projection of the samples on specific lines according to message bit. To have optimal detection Maximum Likelihood criteria has been used. Thus by computing the distribution of rotated noisy samples the optimum decoder is presented and its performance is analytically investigated. The privilege of this proposed algorithm is its inherent robustness against gain attack as well as its simplicity. Experimental results confirm the validity of the analytical derivations and also high robustness against common attacks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
