QR decomposition of dual quaternion matrix and blind watermarking scheme

In this paper, the algorithms and applications of the dual quaternion QR decomposition are studied. The direct algorithm and dual structure-preserving algorithm of dual quaternion QR decomposition utilizing Householder transformation of dual quaternion vector are proposed. Numerical experiments show that two algorithms are feasible, and the dual structure-preserving algorithm is superior to the direct algorithm in terms of computational efficiency. Therefore, the dual structure-preserving algorithm of dual quaternion QR decomposition is used to color image watermarking. Experiments illustrate that our method is feasible and better than the compared methods in anti-aggression.
