چکیده
Digital image watermarking is the process of concealing secret information in a digital image for protecting its rightful ownership. Most of the existing block based singular value decomposition (SVD) digital watermarking schemes are not robust to geometric distortions, even if for some special distortions, such as multiples of 90◦ rotation of integers and image flipping, which change the location of pixels but have no effect on the value of the image. Therefore, to overcome the problems mentioned here, this chapter proposes a novel image watermarking scheme by redistributing the image and applying some normalization operators. Subsequently, this image is segmented into non-overlapping blocks and SVD is applied to each block to get the largest singular

Research 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...
متن کاملBlock based Digital Watermarking of Gray Images in the Singular Domain
To secure digital images transmitted through communication networks, we have used a block based digital image watermarking scheme based on singular value decomposition (SVD). Traditional SVD watermarking already exists for embedding watermark on the image as a whole. In the proposed approach, the original image is divided into blocks, and then the watermarks are embedded in the singular vector ...
متن کاملOptimal SVD based Robust Watermarking using Differential Evolution Algorithm
This paper presents a novel optimal watermarking scheme based on singular value decomposition (SVD) using differential evolution algorithm (DE). The singular values (SVs) of the host image are modified to embed the watermark image by employing multiple scaling factors (SFs). Modifications are optimised using DE to obtain the highest possible robustness without losing the transparency. Experimen...

متن کاملAn improved hybrid image watermarking scheme in shearlet and wavelet domain
Watermarking is one of the best solutions for copyright protection and authentication of multimedia contents. In this paper a hybrid scheme is proposed using wavelet and shearlet transforms with singular value decomposition. For better security, Arnold map is used for encryption. Examining the results and comparing with other methods show that this hybrid proposed scheme with simultaneous utili...
