Full text of article: Russian language.

Abstract:
A new algorithm for digital watermarking of large-scale digital images is proposed in the article. The proposed algorithm provides watermark robustness to a wide range of host image distortions and has a number of advantages compared to an existing algorithms of robust watermarking.

Key words:
digital watermarking, robust watermark, blind watermark detection, watermark template attack.
