Watermarking Scheme

One of the important issues in telemedicine field refers to an advanced secure communication. Digital image watermarking is an ideal solution since it protects the electronic patient information’s from unauthorized access. This paper presents a novel blind fragile-based image watermarking scheme in spatial domain that merges Speed Up Robust Features (SURF) descriptor with the well-known Weber Descriptors (WDs) and Arnold algorithm. It provides a good way for enhancing the image quality and time complexity for medical data integrity. Firstly, the watermark image is shuffled using Arnold chaotic map. Secondly, the SURF technique is practiced to Region of Interest (ROI) of the medical image and then the blocks around the SURF points are selected to insert the watermark. Finally, the watermark is encrusted and extracted using WDs. Experimental results show good image fidelity with the shortest execution time to ensure medical images integrity.

Clear Information

In order to get clear information regarding patient it is necessary to enhance medical images like MRI, CT scan, ultrasound etc.  For clinical diagnosis, we have to transmit it through the communication network. During this process information must be protected from malicious users. In this process these images are manipulated, so to protect these images we have to follow some security requirements. In this paper, we are increasing the quality of the image by using enhancement with clahe technique and that enhanced image is watermarked for security purpose by using DWT, SVD transforms with a scaling factor as uniform distribution function. The performance evaluation parameters will give better results for medical as well as under water images. The obtained results are very helpful for integrity of medical images. The technique will provide better response for medical images. This method will give good results in terms of improvement in output, Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Mean Square Error (MSE).

Redundant Discrete Wavelet Transform

This paper proposed a reversible medical image watermarking scheme using multiple histogram modification (MHM) and redundant discrete wavelet transform (RDWT). The MHM was introduced to the proposed scheme to enhance the embedding capacity. By embedding the watermark in the RDWT coefficients, the proposed scheme exploited the visual masking property of RDWT to guarantee the visual quality. Also, the proposed scheme has better performance on embedding capacity because the RDWT has several sub-band coefficients for embedding. The experimental results on medical images suggests that the proposed scheme could meet the demand of perceptional quality with better embedding capacity than former schemes.

In this paper, we explore the advantages of a fractional calculus based watermarking system for detecting Gaussian watermarks. To reach this goal, we selected a typical watermarking scheme and replaced the detection equation set by another set of equations derived from fractional calculus principles; then, we carried out a statistical assessment of the performance of both schemes by analyzing the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve and the False Positive Percentage (FPP) when they are used to detect Gaussian watermarks. The results show that the ROC of a fractional equation based scheme has 48.3% more Area Under the Curve (AUC) and a False Positives Percentage median of 0.2% whilst the selected typical watermarking scheme has 3%. In addition, the experimental results suggest that the target applications of fractional schemes for detecting Gaussian watermarks are as a semi-fragile image watermarking systems robust to Gaussian noise.
