Digital Image Watermarking in Regions of Interest
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most existing watermarking techniques embed watermarks into the entire image without taking the image content into account. For many applications, a certain portion of an image is more important than the other regions, which is often called the region of interest (ROI). In this work, we develop two wavelet-based watermarking schemes which exploit both frequencyand spatial-domain information to embed invisible and robust watermark. The first scheme requires the original image and the priori information of ROI during watermark extraction. The second scheme does not require the knowledge of the original image and ROI in the retrieval process. In addition to enforcing copyright protection on digital images, the proposed interactive ROI watermarking schemes can be used as data labeling to assist content retrieval in multimedia archiving. Experimental results show that the embedded watermark is robust against various attacks with more protection on ROI.

A Modified Digital Image Watermarking Scheme Based on Nonnegative Matrix Factorization
This paper presents a modified digital image watermarking method based on nonnegative matrix factorization. Firstly, host image is factorized to the product of three nonnegative matrices. Then, the centric matrix is transferred to discrete cosine transform domain. Watermark is embedded in low frequency band of this matrix and next, the reverse of the transform is computed. Finally, watermarked ...

In this paper a wavelet-based logo watermarking scheme is presented. The logo watermark is embedded into all sub-blocks of the LLn sub-band of the transformed host image, using quantization technique. Extracted logos from all sub-blocks are merged to make the extracted watermark from distorted watermarked image. Knowing the quantization step-size, dimensions of logo and the level of wavelet tra...

This paper investigates the multiplicative spread spectrum watermarking method for the image. The information bit is spreaded into middle-frequency Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) coefficients of each block of an image using a generated pseudo-random sequence. Unlike the conventional signal modeling, we suppose that both signal and noise are distributed with Laplacian distribution, because the ...
