Abstract

In this paper, we propose a digital image authentication model with an alliance chain through blockchain + InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) technology and ResNet-50 convolutional neural network digital watermarking technology. The blockchain + distributed storage method is used to solve the problem of large-scale data uplink, and the original data is stored in the IPFS distributed system. After the image is uploaded, the image digital works are embedded through the deeplearning model based on ResNet-50 to form a new carrier digital image embedded with a watermark. When infringement is found, watermark extraction is performed on the infringing image to obtain the original watermark. By analyzing the information recorded in the blockchain and tracing the infringement on the blockchain, the copyright of users’ digital images can be protected.
