The proposed technique improves the power of the watermark with the end goal that it very well may be utilized to secure the intellectual property considerably after genuine assaults on the watermark picture. A YCbCr model can be utilized as the ideal color model, the Y part being the ideal color channel here. Frequency domain methods give more robustness. Changes like DCT, Wavelet changes and Singular Values Decomposition (SVD) are some all around investigated transform domain procedures in watermarking. DKT-DCT hybrid wavelet transform is investigated by applying on have and utilized for embedding singular values of watermark. The proposed plan perceptually enhanced one and more strong in opposition to attacks and rotation invariant. The test outcomes show the perceptually enhanced condition as well as the efficiency of the proposed method when compared with traditional methodologies.

Watermarking Scheme

In this paper, a new robust digital image watermarking algorithm which was based on singular value decomposition (SVD) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) was proposed and simulated for protecting real property rights. A gray scale logo image, rather than a randomly generated Gaussian noise type watermark, was used as a watermark. Its embedding algorithm hid a watermark LL sub-band blocks in the low–low (LL) and high-high (HH) sub-bands of a target non-overlapping block of the host image by modifying singular values on SVD version of these blocks. A semi-blind watermark extraction was designed to estimate the original coefficients. Experimental results showed that the proposed scheme made significant improvements in terms of both transparency and robustness and was superior to the existing methods which were considered in this paper.

Watermarking Scheme

Digital Watermarking is an important tool for copyright protection. A good quality watermarking scheme should provide both perceptual transparency as well as robustness against attacks. Many efficient schemes exist for grayscale image watermarking, but relatively less attention has been paid to watermarking for color images. Moreover, the existing works do not provide adequate justification for the possible choice of color space. In this paper, justification is provided for the choice of YCbCr color space for watermark embedding. A human visual system (HVS)-inspired image-adaptive non-blind watermarking scheme in the YCbCr space has subsequently been proposed. This new algorithm has been referred to as the Additive Embedding Scheme (AES). It comprises of a modified watermarking strength parameter ([Formula: see text]), in combination with the discrete wavelet transform and singular value decomposition (DWT-SVD). Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed watermarking scheme in YCbCr color space provides better perceptual quality as well as robustness against attacks as compared to existing schemes. We have further improvised the aforementioned scheme to come up with a Multiplicative Embedding Scheme (MES) for additional robustness against a special type of attack, viz. the Singular Value Exchange Attack.

Digital Watermarking is a technology, to facilitate the authentication, copyright protection and Security of digital media. The objective of developing a robust watermarking technique is to incorporate the maximum possible robustness without compromising with the transparency. Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) using Firefly Algorithm provides this objective of an optimal robust watermarking technique. Multiple scaling factors are used to embed the watermark image into the host by multiplying these scaling factors with the Singular Values (SV) of the host image. Firefly Algorithm is used to optimize the modified host image to achieve the highest possible robustness and transparency. This approach can significantly increase the quality of watermarked image and provide more robustness to the embedded watermark against various attacks such as noise, geometric attacks, filtering attacks etc.

Generic polar complex exponential transform (GPCET), as continuous orthogonal moment, has the advantages of computational simplicity, numerical stability, and resistance to geometric transforms, which make it suitable for watermarking. However, errors in kernel function discretization can degrade these advantages. To maximize the GPCET utilization in robust watermarking, this paper proposes a secondary grid-division (SGD)-based moment calculation method that divides each grid corresponding to one pixel into nonoverlapping subgrids and increases the number of sampling points. Using the accurate moment calculation method, a nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT)–GPCET-based watermarking scheme with resistance to image processing and geometrical attacks is proposed. In this scheme, the accurate moment calculation can reduce the numerical error and geometrical error of the traditional methods, which is verified by an image reconstruction comparison. Additionally, NSCT and accurate GPCET are utilized to achieve watermark stability. Subsequent experiments test the proposed watermarking scheme for its invisibility and robustness, and verify that the robustness of the proposed scheme outperforms that of other schemes when its level of invisibility is significantly higher.

Watermarking Scheme

Designing a practical watermarking scheme with high robustness, feasible imperceptibility, and large capacity remains one of the most important research topics in robust watermarking. This paper presents a posterior hidden Markov model (HMM-) based informed image watermarking scheme, which well enhances the practicability of the prior-HMM-based informed watermarking with favorable robustness, imperceptibility, and capacity. To make the encoder and decoder use the (nearly) identical posterior HMM, each cover image at the encoder and each received image at the decoder are attacked with JPEG compression at an equivalently small quality factor (QF). The attacked images are then employed to estimate HMM parameter sets for both the encoder and decoder, respectively. Numerical simulations show that a small QF of 5 is an optimum setting for practical use. Based on this posterior HMM, we develop an enhanced posterior-HMM-based informed watermarking scheme. Extensive experimental simulations show that the proposed scheme is comparable to its prior counterpart in which the HMM is estimated with the original image, but it avoids the transmission of the prior HMM from the encoder to the decoder. This thus well enhances the practical application of HMM-based informed watermarking systems. Also, it is demonstrated that the proposed scheme has the robustness comparable to the state-of-the-art with significantly reduced computation time.

This paper provides the conceptual framework on image watermarking which is widely used for security purpose within the epoch of data and Communication Technology. Image watermarking is predicated on the concept that the signal may carry several different watermarks at the identical time. The signal is also audio, pictures or video. Security issue in watermarking is because of enlargement of internet within the present paper the primary phase detailed description of watermarking has been on condition that data set are prepared on which watermarking technique are executed. In the second phase detailed working of the various techniques of image watermarking have to locate a selected watermarking technique which is able to provide appropriate ends up in term of PSNR and interval and various attacks are tested on images so implemented method must stand against various attacks. In final phase reverse process are executed to extract host and watermark image. There are many viable attacks. Spotting is an algorithm which is applied to the attacked signal to infusion the watermark from it. During the research work our main focus will be to enhance various critical paramters like PSNR and execution time so that better outcome can be attained.
