Content Based Watermarking for Securing Color Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a region based color image watermarking algorithm is presented. The objective of the method is to embed a particular message in each region of interest (ROI) in the image. The embedding message has to be detected after image manipulations such as cropping, rotation and color JPEG compression. As a basis for the watermarking, a segmentation algorithm is used. Based on the extracted regions, characteristic features are estimated by using shape information. The embedding message is synchronized with each ROI on each color component Y, Cr and Cb. To embed information non-rounded DCT coefficients are watermarked. Experimental results show the performance of the algorithm against spatial and frequential attacks.

Steganographic and watermarking information inserted into a color image file, regardless of embedding algorithm, causes disturbances in the relationships between neighboring pixels. A method for steganalysis utilizing the local binary pattern (LBP) texture operator to examine the pixel texture patterns within neighborhoods across the color planes is presented. Providing the outputs of this simp...

This paper proposes three approaches to content-based watermarking for image authentication based on Independent Component Analysis (ICA). In this scheme, ICA is applied to blocks of the cover image and the resulting mixing matrix is used as the content-based feature. This is embedded in the mid-frequency DCT coefficient of the block in the first method. The watermark is embedded in the 3 rd le...
متن کاملResearch on Color Watermarking Algorithm Based on RDWT-SVD
In this paper, a color image watermarking algorithm based on Redundant Discrete Wavelet Transform (RDWT) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is proposed. The new algorithm selects blue component of a color image to carry the watermark information since the Human Visual System (HVS) is least sensitive to it. To increase the robustness especially towards affine attacks, RDWT is adopted for its...
