A Joint Compression & Watermarking Algorithm for Color Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
Watermarking is highly demanding in recent times for the protection of multimedia data in network environment from illegal copying, violation of copyright, authentication etc, while compression of multimedia signals is essential to save storage space and transmission time. It is also well known the importance and effectiveness of compression techniques to store transmit and retrieve visual information. However, the creation or development of a joint compression and watermarking framework for images has yet to be explored. Experiments are performed to verify the robustness of the proposed algorithm. The results show that the proposed algorithm is superior to other algorithm in terms of providing a high PSNR. It is also shown that the proposed algorithm is highly robust against different types of attack.

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 کاملA New Color Image Watermarking Scheme
A new spatial domain probability based watermarking scheme for color Images is proposed. The blue channel of the color image has been used for watermark embedding. Host image is divided into 8x8 blocks and each bit of the binary encoded watermark is embedded in each such block. For each inserted bit, intensity of all the pixels in the block is modified according to the embedding algorithm. Non-...
متن کاملDigital Color Images Ownership Authentication via Efficient and Robust Watermarking in a Hybrid Domain
We propose an efficient, imperceptible and highly robust digital watermarking scheme applied to color images for ownership authentication purposes. A hybrid domain for embedding the same watermark is used in this algorithm, which is composed by a couple of watermarking techniques based on spread spectrum and frequency domain. The visual quality is measured by three metrics called Peak Signal to...
متن کاملA Fast and Robust Watermarking Method for Jpeg Images
In this paper, a JPEG domain image watermarking method that utilizes spatial masking is presented. The watermarking algorithm works in the compressed domain, and can be implemented efficiently in real-time (only 50ms is required for a 512x512 24-bit color image on a 700MHz computer). In many applications, particularly those associated with delivering images over the Internet, the ability to wat...
متن کاملResearch on Color Watermarking Algorithm Based on RDWT-SVD
In this paper, a color image watermarking algorithm based on Redundant Discrete Wavelet Transform (RDWT) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is proposed. The new algorithm selects blue component of a color image to carry the watermark information since the Human Visual System (HVS) is least sensitive to it. To increase the robustness especially towards affine attacks, RDWT is adopted for its...
