چکیده
In this paper objective is to develop a robust image watermarking method in contourlet domain using GA(Genetic Algorithm) to improve the quality and robustness of the watermarked image, by reducing the (BER)Bit Error Rate to with stand against common image processing attacks. Selecting more Co-efficient in more directions is achieved by means of combining Laplacian Pyramid with Directional filter bank structure which captures directional information efficiently.

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...

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...

ABTRACT We propose a robust quantization-based image watermarking scheme, called the gradient direction watermarking (GDWM).This is based on the uniform quantization of the direction of gradient vectors. In GDWM, the watermark bits are embedded by quantizing the angles of significant gradient vectors at multiple wavelet scales. The proposed scheme has the following advantages: 1)Increased invis...

A novel oblivious and highly robust watermarking scheme using Multiple Descriptions (MD) and Quantization Index Modulation (QIM) of the host image is presented in this paper. The watermark is embedded in the Discrete Contourlet Transform domain (CT). Discrete Countourlet Transform (CT) is able to capture the directional edges and contours superior to Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). Watermark ...
متن کاملNon-blind Image Watermarking Using Contourlet Transform
This paper presents a novel non-blind watermarking algorithm using contourlet transform. The contourlet transform is preferred for watermarking because of its ability to capture the directional edges and contours superior to other transforms such as cosine transform, wavelet transform, etc. Watermark is encrypted and embedded into high frequency directional subband, which is obtained by perform...
