中文摘要：

In order to increase the watermarking capacity and improve the anti-counterfeiting performance of quick response (QR) two-dimensional (2D) barcode based on digital watermarking technique, this paper proposes a kind of graying algorithm for binary image to make transform domain watermarking methods possible. Based on the graying algorithm, the quantization-based watermarking scheme in discrete wavelet transform (DWT) domain is then designed. The experiments show that the proposed watermarking scheme for QR 2D barcode greatly improves anti-counterfeiting performance without loss of any barcode information.
