چکیده

We introduce a novel method for embedding and detecting a chaotic watermark in the digital spatial domain of color facial images, based on localizing salient facial features. These features define a certain area on which the watermark is embedded and detected. An assessment of the watermarking robustness is done experimentally, by testing resistance to several attacks, such as compression, filtering, noise addition, scaling, cropping and rotation.

A robust feature-based technique for watermarking frontal face images

We introduce a novel method for embedding and detecting a chaotic watermark in the digital spatial domain of color face images, based on localizing salient facial features. Simulation results prove the robustness of the method to several kinds of attack, such as compression, filtering, scaling, cropping and rotation.

Evaluation of Similarity Measures for Template Matching

Image matching is a critical process in various photogrammetry, computer vision and remote sensing applications such as image registration, 3D model reconstruction, change detection, image fusion, pattern recognition, autonomous navigation, and digital elevation model (DEM) generation and orientation. The primary goal of the image matching process is to establish the correspondence between two ...

Intelligent scalable image watermarking robust against progressive DWT-based compression using genetic algorithms

Image watermarking refers to the process of embedding an authentication message, called watermark, into the host image to uniquely identify the ownership. In this paper a novel, intelligent, scalable, robust wavelet-based watermarking approach is proposed. The proposed approach employs a genetic algorithm to find nearly optimal positions to insert watermark. The embedding positions coded as chr...

Image Watermarking Using Geometric Moments

Image watermarking is a method that embeds a watermark in the digital image by making small changes in the host data. The embedded watermark must be perceptually invisible and it must be difficult to change or remove it against the intentional or unintentional attacks such as compression, linear and non linear filtering and geometric transformations. In watermarking applications, the robustness...

A Nonlinear Grayscale Morphological and Unsupervised method for Human Facial Synthesis Based on an Example Image

Human facial generation of example image is used as a requirement for biometric applications for the purpose of identifying individuals. In this paper, face generation consists of three main steps. In the first step, detection of significant lines and edges of the example image are carried out using nonlinear grayscale morphology. Then, hair areas are identified from the face of sample. The fin...
