description Financial security, an important part of national security, is critical for the stable and healthy development of the economy.Digital image watermarking technology plays a crucial role in the field of financial information security, and the anti-screen watermarking algorithm has become a new research focus of digital image watermarking technology.The common way to achieve an invisible watermark in existing watermarking schemes is to modify the carrier image, which is not suitable for all types of images.To solve this problem, an end-to-end robust watermarking scheme based on deep learning was proposed.The algorithm achieved both visual quality and robustness of the watermark image.A random binary string served as the input of the encoder network in the proposed end-to-end network architecture.The encoder can generate the watermark information overlay, which can be attached to any carrier image after training.The ability to resist screen shooting noise was learned by the model through mathematical methods incorporated in the network to simulate the distortion generated during screen shooting.The visual quality of the watermark image was further improved by adding the image JND loss based on just perceptible difference.Moreover, an embedding hyperparameter was introduced in the training phase to balance the visual quality and robustness of the watermarked image adaptively.A watermark model suitable for different scenarios can be obtained by changing the size of the embedding hyperparameter.The visual quality and robustness performance of the proposed scheme and the current state-of-the-art algorithms were evaluated to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.The results show that the watermark image generated by the proposed scheme has better visual quality and can accurately restore the embedded watermark information in robustness experiments under different distances, angles, lighting conditions, display devices, and shooting devices.
