The Binary Phase Only Filter as an Image Watermark
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe our new method for watermarking digital images. Our work is motivated by the study of phase only filters in Fourier optics. In this paper we concentrate on greyscale images, even though our method works for color also. We take the discrete Fourier transform of an image and determine a signature based upon a binary phase-only filter (BPOF). We replace certain frequency magnitudes with this BPOF. This serves as the basis for our watermark. We may also insert additional side information and our method prevents spoofing of the watermark. Our method survives JPEG compression so that the watermark survives to pass various correlation tests. Our watermarking scheme is used for authentication purposes.

Binary Phase-Only Filter Watermarking with Quantized Embedding
The binary phase-only filter digital watermarking embeds the phase information of the discrete Fourier transform of the image into the corresponding magnitudes for better image authentication. The paper proposed an approach of how to implement watermark embedding by quantizing the magnitude, with discussing how to regulate the quantization steps based on the frequencies of the magnitude coeffic...
متن کاملProposing an effective approach for Network security and multimedia documents classically using encryption and watermarking
Local binary pattern (LBP) operators, which measure the local contrast within a pixel's neighborhood, successfully applied to texture analysis, visual inspection, and image retrieval. In this paper, we recommend a semi blind and informed watermarking approach. The watermark has been built from the original image using Weber Law. The approach aims is to present a high robustness and imperceptibi...
متن کاملA New Robust Digital Image Watermarking Algorithm Based on LWT-SVD and Fractal Images
This paper presents a robust copyright protection scheme based on Lifting Wavelet Transform (LWT) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). We have used fractal decoding to make a very compact representation of watermark image. The fractal code is presented by a binary image. In the embedding phase of watermarking scheme, at first, we perform decomposing of the host image with 2D-LWT transform, t...
متن کاملTampering attacks on binary phase only filter–based watermarking schemes for image authentication
Recently, a category of watermarking techniques based on binary phase-only filter (BPOF) has been proposed for image authentica-tion. In such techniques, the authentication is implemented by evaluating the correlation between Fourier phase information and the hidden watermark bitplane. In this paper, we reveal the security flaws of BPOF-based watermarking algorithms and propose sophisticated ta...
متن کاملRepeating Image Watermarking Technique by the Visual Cryptography
A repeating watermarking technique based on visual secret sharing (VSS) scheme provides the watermark repeated throughout the image for avoiding the image cropping. In this paper, the watermark is divided into public watermark and secret watermark by using the VSS scheme to improve the security of the proposed watermarking technique. Unlike the traditional methods, the original watermark does n...
