Abstract With the development of internet, digital media can be manipulated, reproduced, and distributed conveniently over networks. However, illegal copy, transmission and distribution of digital media become an important security issue. In this paper, we propose a high-capacity and robustness method based on discrete wavelet transforms(DWT) and optimal discrete cosine transforms(DCT). We present two approaches, they are: DWT-ODCT(high-capacity and robust image watermarking algorithm based on DWT and optimal DCT), and(P-DWT-ODCT) high-capacity and robust image watermarking algorithm based on DWT and optimal DCT by watermark preprocessing. The watermark image is preprocessed by halftone and quad tree techniques, and the position information about the content is extracted as the actual embedded value. The cover image is transformed by DWT and optimal DCT, which provides high imperceptibility and the least image distortion. Watermark bits are not directly inserted into the frequency coefficient, but embedded by modifying the coefficient according to some rules. With this method, regardless of the approach used, our study are higher capacity and robustness than the existing schemes. The watermark extraction produces high image quality after a variety of attacks.

Watermarking Scheme

The copyright protection of multimedia information is more and more important in the digital age, digital watermarking is a solution to address the topic. This paper proposes a new robust image watermarking scheme based on discrete ridgelet transform (DRT) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT). The scheme respectively embeds a copy of color image watermark into DWT domain and DRT domain, and uses a conception of semi-watermark. Experiment results demonstrate that the watermark can resist various attacks such as adding Gaussian or Union Distribution Noise, JPEG compression, brightness adjustment, contrast adjustment, altering color balance, lens blur, zooming in or out, cropping and some combined attacks etc.

Result Analysis

Digital watermarking was introduced as a result of rapid advancement of networked multimedia systems. It had been developed to enforce copyright technologies for cover of copyright possession. Due to increase in growth of internet users of networks are increasing rapidly. It has been concluded that to minimize distortions and to increase capacity, techniques in frequency domain must be combined with another technique which has high capacity and strong robustness against different types of attacks. In this paper, a robust multiple watermarking which combine Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT)and Convolution Neural Network techniques on selected middle band of the video frames is used. This methodology is considered to be robust blind watermarking because it successfully fulfills the requirement of imperceptibility and provides high robustness against a number of image-processing attacks such as Mean filtering, Median filtering, Gaussian noise, salt and pepper noise, poison noise and rotation attack. The proposed method embeds watermark by decomposing the host image. Convolution neural network calculates the weight factor for each wavelet coefficient. The watermark bits are added to the selected coefficients without any perceptual degradation for host image. The simulation is performed on MATLAB platform. The result analysis is evaluated on PSNR and MSE which is used to define robustness of the watermark that means that the watermark will not be destroyed after intentional or involuntary attacks and can still be used for certification. The analysis of the results was made with different types of attacks concluded that the proposed technique is approximately 14% efficient as compared to existing work.

Global And Local

Digital Watermarking allows an individual to add some hidden copyright notices or other verification messages to digital media, where message is a group of bits describing the information pertaining to the signal or its author. For this purpose, two techniques viz. global watermarking and local watermarking can be used. In this paper, the performance of two feature based global and local watermarking techniques using Zernike Moments(ZMs) have been analyzed by evaluating their robustness against geometric, photometric and other signal processing attacks including rotation, cropping and noise. Experimental results have been provided in order to compare ZMs based global and local watermarking techniques for different types of attacks. Recommendations have been made based on the comparison of these techniques with other existing works.
