چکیده
A Note to All Readers This is not an original electronic copy of the master's thesis, but a reproduced version of the authentic hardcopy of the thesis. I lost the original electronic copy during transit from India to USA in December 1999. I could get hold of some of the older version of the files and figures. Some of the missing figures have been scanned from the photocopy version of the hardcopy of the thesis. The scanned figures have been earmarked with an asterisk. Acknowledgement I would like to profusely thank my guide Prof. K. R. Ramakrishnan for is timely advice and encouragement throughout my project work. I would also like to acknowledge Prof. M. Kankanhalli for reviewing my work from time to time. A special note of gratitude goes to Dr. S. H. Srinivas for the support he extended to this work. I would also like to thank all who helped me during my project work.

متن کاملA Modified Digital Image Watermarking Scheme Based on Nonnegative Matrix Factorization
This paper presents a modified digital image watermarking method based on nonnegative matrix factorization. Firstly, host image is factorized to the product of three nonnegative matrices. Then, the centric matrix is transferred to discrete cosine transform domain. Watermark is embedded in low frequency band of this matrix and next, the reverse of the transform is computed. Finally, watermarked ...

متن کاملA 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...
متن کاملOn the security of ownership watermarking of digital images based on SVD decomposition
Watermarking algorithms of digital images based on singular value decomposition (SVD) have been proposed recently. Most SVD-based watermarking techniques use singular values as the embedding watermark information. These SVD-based techniques are advantageous for watermarking images since slight changes in the singular values do not affect significantly
