Image coding is considered to be more effective, as it reduces number of bits required to store and/or to transmit image data. Transform based image coders play a significant role as they decorrelate the spatial low level information. It is found utilization in International compression standards such as JPEG, JPEG 2000, MPEG and H264. The choice of transform is an important issue in all these transforms coding schemes. Most of the literature suggests either Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) or Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). In this proposed work, the energy preservation of DCT coefficients is analysed, and to down sample these coefficients, lifting scheme is iteratively applied so as to compensate the artifacts that appear in the reconstructed picture, and to yield the higher compression ratio. This is followed by scalar quantization and entropy coding, as in JPEG. The performance of the proposed iterative lifting scheme, employed on decorrelated DCT coefficients is measured with standard Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and the results are encouraging.

Digital image watermarking is powerful technique which provide ownership protection and copyright protection. In this paper, a novel watermarking technique based on Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is presented. YCbCr color model is used for watermark embedding and extraction because of its close resemblance to human visual system. Single level DWT is applied to Luma Component of YCbCr color cover image and then DCT coefficients are taken for watermark embedding process. DCT is applied block by block of size . Binary watermark is scrambled using Arnold transform with k iterations to achieve robustness. Proposed method has been evaluated by many performance evaluation measures such as Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Normalized Correlation (NC) and Computational time. Various watermark attacks are also applied against proposed method, result shows that superiority over other methods.

Lossless Data Hiding

In this paper, a lossless data hiding method based on histogram shifting for MR images using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) are presented. In this method, the algorithms are validated to hide the data in wavelet coefficients of high frequency subbands. This scheme has the advantage of comparing the DCT coefficients and the DWT coefficients which permit low distortion between the watermarked image and the original image. It also shifts a part of the histogram of high frequency subbands and embeds the data by using the created histogram zero point. To prevent the overflows and underflows in the spatial domain, caused by the modification of the DCT coefficients and the DWT coefficients, the histogram modification technique is applied. Therefore, we present a validated method to evaluate and compare the performance of DWT and DCT on task, in terms of data embedding payload and the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) in the medical image. A careful experimental analysis validates the method showing its superiority over the existing methods.

In this paper we present a new watermarking scheme for still image data. Most of the recent work in watermarking can be grouped into two categories: spatial domain methods and frequency domain methods. We introduce a novel approach of watermarking which involves embedding the watermark in the discrete wavelet domain. We make use of a multi resolution data fusion approach in which the image and watermark are both transformed into the discrete wavelet domain. The resulting image pyramids are then fused according to a series of combination. After watermark insertion, inverse DWT is applied to the sub-bands with modified coefficients to obtain the watermarked image. For watermark extraction, a threshold-based decoder is designed. Embedding and extraction process are characterized with parameters and genetic algorithm is used for parameter optimization. Optimization is to maximize the values of peak signal-to-noise ratio of the watermarked image and normalized cross correlation of the extracted watermark. The performance of the proposed scheme is compared with the existing schemes and significant improvement is observed.

Decomposition System

A system that combines techniques of wavelet transform (DWT) and singular value decomposition (SVD) to encode images is presented. The image is divided into tiles or blocks of 64x64 pixels. The decision criterion as to which transform to use is based on the standard deviation of the 8x8 pixel subblocks of the tile to encode. A successive approximation quantizer is used to encode the subbands and vector quantization/scalar quantization is used to encode the SVD eigenvectors/eigenvalues, respectively. For coding color images, the RGB components are transformed into YCbCr before encoding in 4:2:0 format. Results show that the proposed system outperforms the JPEG and approaches the JPEG2000.

Protecting copyrighted image from abuse, misuse and piracy is being critical day by day. Digital image Copyright Protection is considered as a solution to prevent the piracy of original image data. In this article, the authors propose copyright protection method using the well-known Walsh Hadamard transformation along with discrete wavelet transformation and singular value decomposition to achieve robust and imperceptible copyrighted image. The optimum scaling factor which decides the strength of signature image to be embedded is obtained at 0.3. The proposed article ensures imperceptibility of copyrighted image which is determined by Peak signal to noise ratio value greater than 35dB. Normalized Correlation value nearly equals to 0.9999 provides robustness against different attacks such as image cropping, rotations and noise on copyrighted image.  Journal of the Institute of Engineering, 2016, 12(1): 162-168

Text and image data are important elements for information processing almost in all the computer applications. Uncompressed image or text data require high transmission bandwidth and significant storage capacity. Designing and compression scheme is more critical with the recent growth of computer applications. Among the various spatial domain image compression techniques, multi-level Block partition Coding (MLBTC) is one of the best methods which has the least computational complexity. The parameters such as Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Mean Square Error (MSE) are measured and it is found that the implemented methods of BTC are superior to the traditional BTC. This paves the way for a nearly error free and compressed transmission of the images through the communication channel.

Watermarking Scheme

Now-a-days watermarking plays a pivotal role in most of the industries for providing security to their own as well as hired or leased data. This paper its main aim is to study the multiresolution watermarking algorithms and also choosing the effective and efficient one for improving the resistance in data compression. Computational savings from such a multiresolution watermarking framework is obvious. The multiresolutional property makes our watermarking scheme robust to image/video down sampling operation by a power of two in either space or time. There is no common framework for multiresolutional digital watermarking of both images and video. A multiresolution watermarking based on the wavelet transformation is selected in each frequency band of the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) domain and therefore it can resist the destruction of image processing.   The rapid development of Internet introduces a new set of challenging problems regarding security. One of the most significant problems is to prevent unauthorized copying of digital production from distribution. Digital watermarking has provided a powerful way to claim intellectual protection. We proposed an idea for enhancing the robustness of extracted watermarks. Watermark can be treated as a transmitted signal, while the destruction from attackers is regarded as a noisy distortion in channel.  For the implementation, we have used minimum nine coordinate positions. The watermarking algorithms to be taken for this study are Corvi algorithm and Wang algorithm. In all graph, we have plotted X axis as peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and y axis as Correlation with original watermark. The threshold value ά is set to 5. The result is smaller than the threshold value then it is feasible, otherwise it is not.
