A digital watermark is a kind of marker covertly embedded in a noise-tolerant signal such as audio or image data. It is typically used to identify ownership of the copyright of such signal. In this paper, I present review on Image Watermarking .Here, I discuss the various factors used in watermarking techniques, attacks, and security and application area where watermarking technique can be used...

Digital image watermarking have been developed widely in recent years. One of the most important applications of digital image watermarking is medical applications. Image watermarking can be used in medical images for several purposes. It’s used to protect the patient’s information from unauthorized people. In addition, it can be used for authentication if the patient lost his/her image. Moreov...

This paper proposes a new approach for enhancing the robustness of wavelet-based image watermarking algorithms. The method adjusts wavelet used in the process of image watermarking in order to maximize resistance against image processing operations. Effectiveness of the approach is demonstrated using blind multiplicative watermarking algorithm, but it can easily be generalized to all wavelet-ba...

Internet and Multimedia technologies have become our daily needs. Hence it has become a common practice to create copy, transmit and distribute digital data. Obviously, it leads to unauthorized replication problem. Digital image watermarking provides copyright protection to image by hiding appropriate information in original image to declare rightful ownership. Aim of this paper is to provide c...

We propose an improved autocorrelation function (ACF)based image watermarking that is robust to combined geometric and removal attacks. ACF-based watermarking is thought of as one of the most effective watermarking schemes that resist geometric attacks. In this watermarking scheme, the autocorrelation peaks of the watermark play an important role for geometric attack estimation. The peaks, howe...

Nowadays, there is an explosive growth in the digital multimedia creation, capturing, processing and distribution. Protecting the multimedia contents from copyright infringement has become a major concern. Encryption and watermarking are two complementary techniques that are used for protecting the multimedia data. In this paper, a proposed hybrid encryption-watermarking algorithm for copyright...

Because of the large amount of frames, similarity between frames and temporal attacks (frame dropping, frame averaging, frame swapping etc.), the process for video watermarking is more difficult than that for image watermarking. Current image watermarking methods are limited to solve all these difficulties. We propose a novel video watermarking system based on the Hidden Markov Model (HMM). Thi...

Nowadays digital watermarking has become an important technique, because using computational tools, digital contents can be copied and/or modified easily. At the beginning, the digital watermarking has been used for either copyright protection purpose or content authentication purpose. However, in many situations both purposes (copyright protection and content authentication) are required to be...
