چکیده

Least Significant Bit (LSB) technique is the earliest developed technique in watermarking and it is also the most simple, direct and common technique. It essentially involves embedding the watermark by replacing the least significant bit of the image data with a bit of the watermark data. The disadvantage of LSB is that it is not robust against attacks. In this study intermediate significant bit (ISB) has been used in order to improve the robustness of the watermarking system. The aim of this model is to replace the watermarked image pixels by new pixels that can protect the watermark data against attacks and at the same time keeping the new pixels very close to the original pixels in order to protect the quality of watermarked image. The technique is based on testing the value of the watermark pixel according to the range of each bit-plane. Keywords— Watermarking, LSB, ISB, Robustness.

Improving the Robustness of ISB Watermarking Techniques by Repetition of the Embedding

Digital watermarking is a direct embedding of additional information into the original content or host image, this study is overcome the problems existing in the classic LSB method by adapting the method to intermediate significant bits (ISB), which improve the robustness and maintain the quality of the image. Enhancing the proposed method has been done by repeating the watermark data certain n...

An intermediate significant bit (ISB) watermarking technique using neural networks

Prior research studies have shown that the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) is the most frequent watermarked image quality metric that is used for determining the levels of strength and weakness of watermarking algorithms. Conversely, normalised cross correlation (NCC) is the most common metric used after attacks were applied to a watermarked image to verify the strength of the algorithm used....

A Novel Watermark Approach for securing Fingerprint Template

In the present scenario, data security is one of the major challenges. Watermarking is a technique in which a digital signal or pattern is inserted into a digital image for security reasons. Watermarking is mainly used for copyright protection, owner authentication and id card security. A watermark is a signal added to digital data such as audio, video and still images that can be detected or e...

Stereo Image Watermarking Using Random Least Significant Bit and Arnold Transform

Security of transferring data through channels has lots of concern especially if the transferred data is important. In stereo images, the scene is reconstructed from pair of images; the resulting is the 3D information which in some applications needs to be transferred through insecure channel. The security is important to protect the data from eavesdropping. We have proposed novel technique to ...
