With the rapid development of Internet technology, using the Internet to transmit medical images has gradually become an efficient and convenient transmission method. It improves the efficiency of medical services, enabling medical institutions and doctors to share medical images and diagnostic information quickly. However, there are also some potential security risks in transmitting medical images over the Internet, such as data leakage and tampering. This article proposes a medical image zero-watermarking algorithm based on the direction gradient histogram (HOG) and discrete cosine transform (DCT) to solve the above problems. The proposed algorithm first extracts the feature vector of the medical image and then utilizes the perceptual hash algorithm to obtain its corresponding feature sequence. The watermark image is then encrypted using chaotic scrambling through logical mapping. The zero-watermarking technique is employed for the embedding and extraction of the watermark. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in successfully extracting and restoring the watermark even under challenging conditions.
