A novel data embedding method for high-quality images, e.g., an image with a peak signal-to-noise ratio of better than 60 [dB] is proposed in this paper. The proposed method precisely generates a watermarked image of the desired and high quality for any images. To do this, this method considers the finite word-length of a luminance value of pixels, i.e., both quantization errors and the range limitation of luminance. The proposed method embeds a watermark sequence, modulated by the mechanism of a spread spectrum scheme, into the dc values of an image in the spatial domain. By employing spread spectrum technology as well as embedding a watermark into the dc values, this method guarantees the high image quality and, simultaneously, provides adequate JPEG tolerance.
