This paper proposed a novel blind color digital watermarking algorithm based on Integer Discrete Wavelet Transform (IDWT) and Human Visual System (HVS). Firstly, color watermark image was processed into one dimension digital information, and color host image was converted into YIQ color space. Then, according to the features of HVS, encrypted watermark was embedded adaptively into the Y luminan...

The Color to Gray and Back transformation watermarking with a secrete key is considered. Color is embedded into the bit planes of the luminosity component of the YUV color space with the help of a block algorithm that allows using not only the least significant bits. An application of the problem of distributing color digital images from a data base among legitimate users is discussed. The prop...

one of the most important parameters in evaluating a watermarking algorithm is its capacity. generally, watermarking capacity is expressed by bits per pixel (bpp) unit measure. but this measure does not show what the side effects would be on image quality, watermark robustness and capacity. in this paper we propose a three dimensional measure named capacity surface which shows the effects of ca...

The authors present a new approach for measuring watermarking robustness in the case of color attacks of rgb-color watermarked images. This approach is applied to evaluate the robustness of our algorithm to watermark an rgb-color image by modifying pixels colors. It is based on Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and it uses fractal dimensions to quantify modified color pixels. The authors test smooth and ...

Digital watermarking has been widely applied to solve copyright protection problems of digital media relating to illegal use or distribution. In the past few years, several gray-level image watermarking schemes have been proposed, but their application to color image watermarking schemes is scarce and usually works on the luminance or individual color channel. In this paper, a new color image w...

In this paper, a novel approach to image indexing using content-based watermarking is presented. The proposed system uses color image segmentation and watermarking in order to facilitate content-based indexing, retrieval and manipulation of digital images and image regions. A novel segmentation algorithm is applied on reduced images and the resulting segmentation mask is embedded in the image u...

This paper presents a robust watermarking technique for color and grayscale image. The proposed method involves many techniques to conform a secure and robust watermarking. In the proposed technique the watermark is embedded in 3 level of DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform) and before embedding the watermark image is passed through chaotic encryption process for its security, other important thing...

In this paper, a novel high dynamic range (HDR) image zero-watermarking algorithm against the tone mapping attack is proposed. order to extract stable and invariant features for robust zero-watermarking, shift-invariant shearlet transform (SIST) used HDR image. Firstly, converted CIELAB color space, L component selected perform SIST obtaining low-frequency subband containing structure informati...

There are two digital watermarking techniques. Digital watermarking techniques based on correlation and digital watermarking techniques that are not based on correlation. In previous work, we proposed a DWT2 based CDMA image watermarking scheme to study the effects of using eight color spaces RGB, YCbCr, JPEG-YCbCr, YIQ, YUV, HSI, HSV and CIELab, on watermarking algorithms based on correlation ...

introduction:in this study, ecg signals have been embedded into medical images to create a novel blind watermarking method. the embedding is done when the original image is compressed using the ezw algorithm. the extraction process is performed at the decompression time of the watermarked image. materials and methods: the multi-resolution watermarking with a secret key algorithm developed in th...
