DWT based Digital Watermarking Fidelity and Robustness Evaluation
نویسندگان
چکیده
An Image AdaptiveWatermarking method based on the Discrete Wavelet Transform is presented in this paper. The robustness and fidelity of the proposed method are evaluated and the method is compared to state-of-the-art watermarking techniques available in the literature. For the evaluation of watermark transparency, an image fidelity factor based on a perceptual distortion metric is introduced. On the other hand, a degradation factor is introduced for the evaluation of watermark robustness against JPEG compression and resizing. The new fidelity metric allows a perceptually aware objective quantification of image fidelity. The suitability of the proposed metric for the fidelity evaluation of still image watermarking is supported by simulation results.

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...
متن کاملDigital Image Watermarking Based on Genetic Algorithm Approach
Digital watermarking is the process of embedding information into a digital signal. The main issues to be considered during the watermark are robustness and fidelity. Robustness implies the strength of the watermark against various image processing attacks. The fidelity is used to determine the quality of the image after embedding the watermark. The techniques of digital watermarking are based ...

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...
