The rapid development of image editing software has resulted in widespread unauthorized duplication of original images. This has given rise to the need to develop robust image hashing technique which can easily identify duplicate copies of the original images apart from differentiating it from different images. In this paper, we have proposed an image hashing technique based on discrete wavelet transform and Hough transform, which is robust to large number of image processing attacks including shifting and shearing. The input image is initially pre-processed to remove any kind of minor effects. Discrete wavelet transform is then applied to the pre-processed image to produce different wavelet coefficients from which different edges are detected by using a canny edge detector. Hough transform is finally applied to the edge-detected image to generate an image hash which is used for image identification. Different experiments were conducted to show that the proposed hashing technique has better robustness and discrimination performance as compared to the state-of-the-art techniques. Normalized average mean value difference is also calculated to show the performance of the proposed technique towards various image processing attacks. The proposed copy detection scheme can perform copy detection over large databases and can be considered to be a prototype for developing online real-time copy detection system.

This chapter discusses a content-based authentication technique based on inter-coefficient relationship of Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). Watermark is generated from the first level DWT. An image digest (which is a binary string) is generated from the second level DWT. The watermark is embedded in the mid-frequency coefficients of first level DWT as directed by the image digest. Image authentication is done by computing the Completeness of Signature. The proposed scheme is capable of withstanding incidental image processing operations such as compression and identifies any malicious tampering done on the host image.

<p>Image compression is a key technology in the development of various multimedia and communication applications. Perfect reconstruction of the image without any loss in picture quality and data is very important. This can be achieved with the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), which is an efficient tool for image compression and video compression. The lifting based DWT architecture has the advantage of lower computational complexities and also requires less memory compared to the conventional convolution method. The existing DWT architectures are represented in terms of folded, flipping and recursive structures. The various architectures are discussed in terms of memory, power consumption and operating frequency involved with the given size of image and required levels of decomposition. This paper presents a survey of these architectures for 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional Discrete Wavelet Transform. This study is useful for deriving an efficient method for improving the speed and hardware complexities of existing architectures.</p>

In this paper, we analyze the noise quantization effects in coefficients of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) filter banks for image processing. We propose the implementation of the DWT method, making it possible to determine the effective bit-width of the filter banks coefficients at which the quantization noise does not significantly affect the image processing results according to the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR). The dependence between the PSNR of the DWT image quality on the wavelet and the bit-width of the wavelet filter coefficients is analyzed. The formulas for determining the minimal bit-width of the filter coefficients at which the processed image achieves high quality (PSNR ≥ 40 dB) are given. The obtained theoretical results were confirmed through the simulation of DWT for a test image using the calculated bit-width values. All considered algorithms operate with fixed-point numbers, which simplifies their hardware implementation on modern devices: field-programmable gate array (FPGA), application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), etc.
