Digital watermarking is the field of digital image processing which deals with hiding information in a digital content. In this paper, performance analysis of DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) based digital image watermarking using color spaces is done. Mostly, images that are taken for digital watermarking experiments are in RGB (Red, Green and Blue) color space. Eight different color spaces are...

this paper investigates the multiplicative spread spectrum watermarking method for the image. the information bit is spreaded into middle-frequency discrete cosine transform (dct) coefficients of each block of an image using a generated pseudo-random sequence. unlike the conventional signal modeling, we suppose that both signal and noise are distributed with laplacian distribution, because the ...

Nowadays, the issue of protecting copyrights of digital contents has become very much critical owing to the swift growth of the Internet. Protecting the high-value digital assets and controlling the distribution and usage of those digital assets are the tasks of the Digital Rights Management (DRM) system. Watermarking technologies are being looked upon as promising means to safe guard the copyr...

Watermarking is a technique, which is used in protecting digital information like image, video and audio as it provides copyrights and ownership Audio watermarking is more difficult than image watermarking than image watermarking due to the dynamic supremacy of hearing capacity over the visual field. Digital watermarking is a technique by which copyright information is embedded into the host si...

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...

Digital watermarking is the processing of combined information into a digital signal. A watermark is a secondary image, which is overlaid on the host image, and provides a means of protecting the image. In order to provide high quality watermarked image, the watermarked image should be imperceptible. This paper presents different techniques of digital image watermarking based on spatial & frequ...

With the increasing use of internet and major development in technology, transmission of digital media is being affected by a large number of illegal interventions. As a valuable solution to this, watermarking provides a secure way for channelizing the digital media (image, audio or video). Digital Watermarking is a method of embedding data (watermark) into a host image without degrading its or...

The digital revolution in digital image processing has made it possible to create, manipulate and transmit digital images in a simple and fast manner. The adverse affect of this is that the same image processing techniques can be used by hackers to tamper with any image and use it illegally. This has made digital image safety and integrity the top prioritized issue in today’s information explos...

Abstract Nowadays, multimedia security is a major issue. Images, video, audio, and text files lose credibility in most times, because they face several attacks related to illegal distribution, duplication, manipulation of the information conveyed by them. Digital watermarking an important tool for protecting digital content. This paper introduces efficient hybrid image scheme. It consists two s...
