Promising Application

One of the most promising application of the digital watermarking is the selective image authentication (SIA) systems. In order to implement such a system one requires an embedding algorithm with an appropriate capacity. In addition, an embedding method is to be robust for the class of non-malicious manipulations which the SIA system is designed for. We propose the new method which has a significant embedding capacity while still being tolerant to JPEG compression, brightness and contrast adjustments. This was possible due to the extension of the well-known discrete wavelet transform embedding technique. We propose two-step embedding scheme and the use of image histogram equalisation and recovering operations. The experiment results show acceptable tolerance to JPEG compression, brightness and contrast adjustments with good visual quality in terms of PSNR just after embedding.

Watermark Algorithm

In this paper, a wavelet-based digital watermark algorithm for packaging security is proposed. In the algorithm, digital watermark is embedded in the color image CMYK mode, the method based on the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) can point to point semi-adaptive repeated embed digital watermark. Digital watermark that embedded in a color image can be extracted after printing, scanning and pre-processing the color image. The experimental results show that watermark extraction’s effect is acceptable, so the algorithm can achieve the purpose of the anti-counterfeiting for packaging printing. In addition the algorithm is robust enough against various kinds of attacks such as salt&pepper noise addition, JPEG compression, image crop and so on.

This paper aims in presenting a thorough comparison of performance and usefulness of concept of spatial-scale domain based techniques in digital watermarking in order to sustain the ownership, security and true authentication. Spatial-scale based image watermarking techniques provides the information of 2-Dimensional (2-D) signal at different scales and levels, which is desirable for image watermarking. Further, these techniques emerged as a powerful and efficient tool to overcome the limitation of Fourier, spatial, as well as, purely frequency based techniques. The spatial-scale based watermarking techniques, namely, Contourlet Transform (CT), Non Sub-sampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT), Stationary Wavelet Transform (SWT) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) have been selected for watermarking process. Further, the comparison of performance of the selected watermarking techniques have been carried out in terms of different metrics, such as Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Tamper Assessment Factor (TAF) and Mean Structural Similarity Index (MSSIM). Analysis of result shows that multi-directional and shift-invariant NSCT technique outperforms the SWT and DWT based image watermarking techniques in terms of authentication, better capture quality, and tampering resistance, subjective and objective evaluation.

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.
