Many proposed digital image watermarking techniques are sensitive to geometric attacks, such as rotation, scaling, translation, or their composites. Geometric distortions, even by slight amounts, can inevitably damage the watermark and/or disable the capability of the watermark detector to reliably perform its function. In this chapter, the authors exploit the invariant image features to design geometric distortions-invariant watermarking system, and present two watermarking techniques. First technique utilizes the bounding box scale-invariant feature transform and discrete orthogonal Hahn moments to embed the watermark into the selective image patches, and the second technique uses only the Hahn moments to globally embed watermark into the whole image. First technique is non-blind and uses the original image during detection. While exhibiting excellent resistance against different geometric distortions, this technique also has fairly good resistance to image cropping like attacks. However, this technique exhibits a reduced data payload. The second technique is designed to be blind and the watermark is blindly extracted using the independent component analysis. For this technique an improved data payload is achieved but with a little compromise on resistance against cropping like attacks. The implementations are supported with thorough discussions and the experimental results prove and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed schemes against several kinds of geometric attacks.

Through using tools of image processing on digital images just like gimp and adobe photoshop applications, an image on digital images can be a source of information for anyone who observes it. On one hand, those applications can easily change or manipulate the authenticity of the image. On the other hand, they can be misused to undermine the credibility of the authenticity of the image in various aspects. Thus, they can be considered as a crime. The implementation of the SIFT Algorithm (Scale Invariant feature transform) and RGB color histogram in Matlab can detect object fitness in digital images and perform accurate test. This study discusses the implementation of getting object fitness on digital image that has been manipulated by SIFT Algorithm method on the Matlab source. It is done by comparing the original image with the manipulated one. The object fitness in digital images can be obtained from a number of key points and other additional parameters through comparing number of pixels on the analyzed image and on the changed histogram in RGB color on each analyzed image. The digital image forensics which is known as one of the scientific methods commonly used in researches is aimed to obtain evidences or facts in determining the authenticity of the image on digital images. The use of the SIFT algorithm is chosen as an extraction method because it is invariant to scale, rotation, translation, and illumination changes. SIFT is used to obtain characteristics of the pattern of the gained key point. The tested result of the SIFT Algorithm method (Scale Invariant feature transform) is expected to produce a better image analysis.
