A Novel Semi-private Watermarking Technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel watermarking technique is proposed to embed a semi-watermark in digital images. Before embedding the watermark, a M-dimensional vector is extracted from the original data. Watermarking is achieved by modifying this vector to another particular vector according to the private keys and the watermark. A dual-key system is used to reduce the chance for the removal of watermark. The watermark can be detected without the original image. If the original image is available in the detection of watermark, the proposed technique is almost equivalent to the well known spread spectrum technique.

Performance Analysis of Digital Watermarkingtechniques in the Spatial and DCT Domain for Still Images
Digital watermarking is a process whereby random information is encoded into an image in such a way that the additional payload is indiscernible to the image observer. In this Paper, three typical watermarking techniques are compared and tested extensively, which not only include the private system, the semi-private system but also the public schemes. The comparisons mainly focus on the evaluat...
متن کاملA Semi-fragile Blind Watermarking Scheme for Color Images Based on Visual Cryptography and Discrete Cosine Transform
This paper presents a semi-fragile blind watermarking scheme for color images based on Visual Cryptography (VC) and Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT). Firstly, the binary watermark image is separated into two shares, i.e., the public share and the private share, by using the VC technique. Then, the color host image is converted from the RGB color space into the HSV color space. Next, the DCT tran...
متن کاملImage Authentication Using Relation Measures of Wavelet Coefficients
In this paper, a novel watermarking technique for image authentication is proposed. This technique operates in the wavelet domain and makes use of semi-fragile watermarks for achieving better robustness. The image is first transformed into the wavelet domain and the relations between neighboring coefficients are utilized to authenticate the integrity of the image content. By carefully designing...
متن کاملTwo Novel Chaos-Based Algorithms for Image and Video Watermarking
In this paper we introduce two innovative image and video watermarking algorithms. The paper’s main emphasis is on the use of chaotic maps to boost the algorithms’ security and resistance against attacks. By encrypting the watermark information in a one dimensional chaotic map, we make the extraction of watermark for potential attackers very hard. In another approach, we select embedding po...
متن کاملFRAGILE and SEMI - FRAGILE WATERMARKING TECHNIQUES for IMAGE AUTHENTICATION
Techniques to establish the authenticity and integrity of digital images are becoming increasly essential over the Intermet. The authentication algorithm should distinguish malicious manipulations from the original watermarked image[1]. Fragile watermarking is recomended for a very sensible image authentication scheme, able to localize the slightest changes occured to the marked image. The frag...
