A Robust Watermarking Technique based on Nonsubsampled Contourlet Transform and SVD
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper proposes a novel robust watermarking technique based on newly introduced Nonsubsampled contourlet transform(NSCT) and singular value decomposition(SVD) for multimedia copyright protection. The NSCT can give the asymptotic optimal representation of the edges and contours in image by virtue of the characteristics of good multi resolution shift invariance and multi directionality. After decomposing the host image into sub bands, we choose the low frequency directional sub band and apply singular value decomposition. The singular values of the original image are then modified by the singular values of nonsubsampled contourlet transformed visual grayscale logo watermark image. This hybrid approach improves the performance of the watermarking technique compared to earlier techniques. Experimental results shows that the hybrid technique is resilient to various linear and non linear filtering ,JPEG compression, JPEG2000 compression, Histogram equalization, Grayscale inversion, Contrast adjustment, gamma correction, alpha mean ,cropping ,Gaussian noise, scaling etc.

متن کاملA Robust Image Denoising Technique in the Contourlet Transform Domain
The contourlet transform has the benefit of efficiently capturing the oriented geometrical structures of images. In this paper, by incorporating the ideas of Stein’s Unbiased Risk Estimator (SURE) approach in Nonsubsampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT) domain, a new image denoising technique is devised. We utilize the characteristics of NSCT coefficients in high and low subbands and apply SURE sh...
متن کاملImage Enhancement based on Nonsubsampled Contourlet Transform using Matrix Factorization Techniques
A unique method for image enhancement using the nonsubsampled Contourlet transform (NSCT) is presented here. Existing methods for image enhancement cannot capture the geometric information of images and tend to amplify noises when they are applied to noisy images since they cannot distinguish noises from weak edges. In contrast, the nonsubsampled Contourlet transform extracts the geometric info...
