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.

Since there are a number of color spaces, it has always been a big question to choose one for watermarking. The aim of this work is to find out better color space, among the frequently used one, under the same condition. Comparative performance analysis of color image watermarking technique in color channels of RGB, YUV, YCbCrcolor spaces was studied. For this purpose, color channels were watermarked using single level discrete wavelet transform-singular value decomposition (DWT-SVD). PSNR, and SSIM were used to test the imperceptibility of watermarked images. PSNR and NCC were used to measure the similarity of extracted and original watermarks.The maximum recorded PSNR value is 62.372 for R channel of RGB color space with SSIM value equal to 0.9709. Color channels of YCbCr color space were observed to be more robust and transparent as watermark image is best recovered from YCbCr color space with NCC values in the range 0.86 to 0.877 and SSIM values in the range 0.546to 0.554 under various geometric attacks.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/njst.v15i2.12130Nepal Journal of Science and Technology Vol. 15, No.2 (2014) 133-140

Enhancement Method

A number of compression schemes were put forward to achieve high compression factors with high image quality at a low computational time. In this paper, a combined transform coding scheme is proposed which is based on discrete wavelet (DWT) and discrete cosine (DCT) transforms with an added new enhancement method, which is the sliding run length encoding (SRLE) technique, to further improve compression. The advantages of the wavelet and the discrete cosine transforms were utilized to encode the image. This first step involves transforming the color components of the image from RGB to YUV planes to acquire the advantage of the existing spectral correlation and consequently gaining more compression. DWT is then applied to the Y, U and V color space information giving the approximate and the detail coefficients. The detail coefficients are quantized, coded using run length encoding (RLE) and SRLE. The approximate coefficients were coded using DCT, since DCT has superior compression performance when image information has poor power concentration in high frequency areas. This output is also quantized, coded using RLE and SRLE. Test results showed that the proposed DWT DCT SRLE system proved to have encouraging results in terms of Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Compression Factor (CF) and execution time when compared with some DWT based image compressions.

Steganography is a term that refers to the process of concealing secret data inside a cover media which can be audio, image and video. A new video steganography scheme in the wavelet domain is presented in this paper. Since the convolutional discrete wavelet transform produces float numbers, a lifted wavelet transform is used to conceal data. The method embeds secret data in the detail coefficients of each temporal array of the cover video at spatial localization using a unique embedding via YCbCr color space and complementing the secret data to minimize error in the stego video before embedding. Three secret keys are used in the scheme. Method’s performance matrices such as peak signal to noise ratio and Normalized Cross Correlation (NCC) expresses good imperceptibility for the stego-video. The value of Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) is in range of 34-40dB, and high embedding capacity

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.

This paper proposed a reversible medical image watermarking scheme using Redundant Discrete Wavelet Transform (RDWT) and sub-sample. To meet the highly demand of the perceptional quality, the proposed scheme embedding the watermark by modifying the RDWT coefficients. The sub-sample scheme is introduced to the proposed scheme for the enhancement of the embedding capacity. Moreover, to meet the need of security, a PWLCM based image encryption algorithm is introduced for encrypting the image after the watermark embedding. The experimental results suggests that the proposed scheme not only meet the highly demand of the perceptional quality, but also have better embedding capacity than former DWT based scheme. Also the encryption scheme could protect the image contents efficiently.

Watermarking Scheme

This paper proposes an encryption-based image watermarking scheme using a combination of second-level discrete wavelet transform (2DWT) and discrete cosine transform (DCT) with an auto extraction feature. The 2DWT has been selected based on the analysis of the trade-off between imperceptibility of the watermark and embedding capacity at various levels of decomposition. DCT operation is applied to the selected area to gather the image coefficients into a single vector using a zig-zig operation. We have utilized the same random bit sequence as the watermark and seed for the embedding zone coefficient. The quality of the reconstructed image was measured according to bit correction rate, peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), and similarity index. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed scheme is highly robust under different types of image-processing attacks. Several image attacks, e.g., JPEG compression, filtering, noise addition, cropping, sharpening, and bit-plane removal, were examined on watermarked images, and the results of our proposed method outstripped existing methods, especially in terms of the bit correction ratio (100%), which is a measure of bit restoration. The results were also highly satisfactory in terms of the quality of the reconstructed image, which demonstrated high imperceptibility in terms of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR ≥ 40 dB) and structural similarity (SSIM ≥ 0.9) under different image attacks.

Abstract Image protection is essential part of the scientific community today. The invisible watermark is widely being used in past to secure the medical imaging data from copyright protection. In this paper novel hybrid combination of the invisible image watermarking and the Blockchain based encryption is proposed to design. The watermarking is implemented using edge detection (ED) of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) coefficient. The medical image is decomposed using L level DWT transform to generate multi-resolution coefficients. The edge detection is applied to HH wavelet band to generate the edge coefficients. To improve robustness difference of dilation and edge coefficient are used for watermark embedding. The watermark image is encrypted using Blockchain based hash algorithm for medical images. Then at the decoding end first decryption is achieved and then image is reconstructed. The results are sequentially presented for both stages. The PSNR performance is compared with additional level of security.

With the advancement of networks and multimedia, digital watermarking technology has received worldwide attention as an effective method of copyright protection. Improving the anti-geometric attack ability of digital watermarking algorithms using image feature-based algorithms have received extensive attention. This paper proposes a novel robust watermarking algorithm based on SURF-DCT perceptual hashing (Speeded Up Robust Features and Discrete Cosine Transform), namely blind watermarking. We design and implement a meaningful binary watermark embedding and extraction algorithm based on the SURF feature descriptor and discrete-cosine transform domain digital image watermarking algorithm. The algorithm firstly uses the affine transformation with a feature matrix and chaotic encryption technology to preprocess the watermark image, enhance the confidentiality of the watermark, and perform block and DCT coefficients extraction on the carrier image, and then uses the positive and negative quantization rules to modify the DCT coefficients. The embedding of the watermark is completed, and the blind extraction of the watermark realized. Correlation values are more than 90% in most of the attacks. It provides better results against different noise attacks and also better performance against rotation. Transparency and high computational efficiency, coupled with dual functions of copyright protection and content authentication, is the advantage of the proposed algorithm.
