[WM]: is this scheme a blind one? can anyone help me?

Hi,every one, i am confused about the principle of the blind watermarking shceme. the following is my proposed watermarking scheme,
i don't know whether it can be called as blind watermark.  The rough embedding steps are as follows: original image is splitted into
8*8 blocks and the fitness of embeding watermark for each block is learned by smart theory. Then, in the canditate embeding blocks,
a key is used to choose blocks to be embeded and the positions for all these choosed blocks are recorded . Then watermark is
embeded. During detection, original image is not used ,but the recored position is need to know the watermark embeding position. can
this method be called as blind watermarking scheme? The only difference with classical blind watermarking scheme is it need to
record the embed position ,and it depends on the image content and key, while the classical scheme only use a key to generate the
embed position.   thank you !
