Rapid development in computer technology makes images, audio, text and video can be more easily reproduced, processed and stored in digital devices. Digital watermarking is a technique which allows an individual to add hidden copyright notices or other verification messages to digital audio, video, or image and documents. In this paper the concept of color image watermarking technique is perfor...

The main theme of this application is to provide an algorithm color image watermark to manage the attacks such as rotation, scaling and translation. In the existing watermarking algorithms, those exploited robust features are more or less related to the pixel position, so they cannot be more robust against the attacks. In order to solve this problem this application focus on certain parameters ...

There are a lot of wavelet-based approaches in digital image watermarking literature. In these approaches, the main issue is selection method of wavelet sub-bands’ coefficients and embedding algorithm. In this approach, an entropy-based method is proposed for non-blind watermarking of still gray level images using discrete wavelet transform. In our approach, we have also used the Discrete Wavel...

Reversible watermarking enables the embedding of useful information in a host signal without any loss of host information. Tian’s difference-expansion technique is a high-capacity, reversible method for data embedding. However, the method suffers from undesirable distortion at low embedding capacities and lack of capacity control due to the need for embedding a location map. The propose a low d...

Steganographic and watermarking information inserted into a color image file, regardless of embedding algorithm, causes disturbances in the relationships between neighboring pixels. A method for steganalysis utilizing the local binary pattern (LBP) texture operator to examine the pixel texture patterns within neighborhoods across the color planes is presented. Providing the outputs of this simp...

In this paper, a quantization based watermark casting and blind watermark retrieval algorithm operating in YCbCr color space using discrete wavelet transform (DWT), for ownership verification and image authentication applications is implemented. This method uses implicit visual masking by inserting watermark bits into only the wavelet coefficients of high magnitude, in Y channel of YCbCr color ...

A new color image watermarking algorithm with resistance to JPEG lossy compression based on Quantization Index Modulation (QIM) is proposed in this paper. As it is known, QIM method can achieve a good balance between the embedding bit rate, robustness and distortion between the original image and the composited image by modulating the source signal into different clusters. The corresponding DCT...

This paper presents a new digital watermarking algorithm for color halftone images. According to the Minimal Brightness Variation Quadruples (MBVQ), this paper gets the conclusion that each pixel of color halftone image belongs to one of the five MBVQs. Based on the edge and MBVQ, this algorithm implements the watermark embedding in the halftone process. Experimental results show that the algor...
