Digital image watermarking has been proposed to protect the digital multimedia content. The main objectives of watermarking scheme are robustness, reliability, security against numerous attacks. To improve the imperceptibility, robustness and capacity of the watermarked image, this paper presents a transform domain watermarking method using spatial frequency and block SVD. The spatial frequency is used to select the appropriate blocks for embedding the watermark image by transforming the SVD coefficients of these blocks of the cover image. In this paper first we scramble the cover image by ZIG-ZAG sequencing and then rearranged. After that Shift Invariant Discrete Wavelet Transformed (SIDWT) cover image is partioned in to non-overlapping blocks. Then find out the spatial frequency of these blocks, those blocks which spatial frequency value greater than threshold value are selected for embedding process. Now the watermark image directly embedded by modifying the SVD coefficient of these blocks and get watermarked image. Then inverse process is applied for extracting for watermark image form noisy image. Experimental outcomes show that the proposed scheme is higher imperceptible, robust against various image processing attacks and produce improved results as compared to previous presented schemes

The ability to access data such as text, images, video, and audio has become quicker and easier for people with little to no knowledge of technology. In this paper, a robust watermarking scheme based on the original image content is proposed and simulated. Steerable pyramid transform is used as an embedding domain to its good spatial-frequency characteristics, and its wide applications in the image/video coding standards. The embedding process aims to insert some information in a digital document to identify its owner later. This process requires the original image to be protected and the watermark image related to the image’s owner. It needs also a threshold value used by Sobel-Feldman operator to extract the original image features. The embedding of the watermark image is performed in high frequency components of the original image. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that the proposed watermarking scheme is able to withstand a variety of attacks and at the same time provide good visual quality of the watermarked image.</span>

This paper proposes “Fusion based watermarking with multi level DWT & singular value decomposition” has been implemented. In watermarking scheme, maintaining security and robustness is major hurdle. To address this issue we proposed a novel non blind embedding scheme with Discrete Wavelet transform (DWT) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) techniques. This paper details the design of the proposed watermarking scheme and analyses its robustness in the presence of various possible security attacks that involves in degrading the quality of watermark. In the beginning, the cover image color component (especially Red Component) is decomposed into LL, LH, HL, HH with 2 level DWT: these LH & HL coefficients are further divided into 8*8 blocks and each block is compared to build a fused coefficient. Apply SVD on fused coefficient of cover image and watermark image to embed the singular values with sigmod scaling factor. Finally the watermarked image is generated, after applying inverse SVD & 2 level DWT. At receiver side the inverse process has been implemented to extract watermark image. The efficiency and performance of the proposed method is verified with   Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Root mean square error (RMSE) and Mean Square error (MSE) and compared with recent works of santhi [12] and harsha [13].

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.

Most of the studied quantum encryption algorithms are based on square images. In this paper, based on the improved novel quantum representation of color digital images model (INCQI), a quantum color image watermarking scheme is proposed. First, INCQI improved from NCQI is used to represent the carrier and watermark images with the size [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively. Secondly, before embedding, the watermarking needs to be preprocessed. That is, the watermark image with the size of [Formula: see text] with 24-qubits color information is disordered by the fast bit-plane scramble algorithm, and then further expanded to an image with the size [Formula: see text] with 6-qubits pixel information by the nearest-neighbor interpolation method. Finally, the dual embedded algorithm is executed and a key image with 3-qubits information is generated for retrieving the original watermark image. The extraction process of the watermark image is the inverse process of its embedding, including inverse embedding, inverse expand and inverse scrambling operations. To show that our method has a better performance in visual quality and histogram graph, a simulation of different carrier and watermark images are conducted on the classical computer’s MATLAB.
