چکیده

In this paper, a novel approach to image indexing is presented using content-based watermarking. Some concepts associated with the application of watermarking to image indexing are discussed and a segmentation algorithm, appropriate for content-based watermarking, is presented. The segmentation algorithm is applied on reduced images and derives the exact same objects when performed on either the original or the watermarked image. In this way, the proposed system does not su er from synchronization problems that usually occur during watermark detection.

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...

Robust multiplicative video watermarking using statistical modeling

The present paper is intended to present a robust multiplicative video watermarking scheme. In this regard, the video signal is segmented into 3-D blocks like cubes, and then, the 3-D wavelet transform is applied to each block. The low frequency components of the wavelet coefficients are then used for data embedding to make the process robust against both malicious and unintentional attacks. Th...

A Robust Digital Image Watermarking Scheme Based on DWT

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...
