One way for copyright protection is digital watermarking. Digital watermarking is the process of embedding information regarding the authenticity or the identity of the owners into a image or any piece of data. Digital watermarking has been classified into two types :Visible and Invisible Watermarking. In visible digital watermarking, the embedded information is visible. Typically, the informat...

In this paper, we have suggested the spatial domain method for the digital image watermarking for both visible and invisible watermarks. The methods are used for the copyright protection as well as proof of ownership. In this paper we have used spatial domain characteristics of the image where we directly work on the pixel value of the image according to the watermark and calculated different p...

In this paper, we propose an improved autocorrelation function (ACF) based watermarking. The autocorrelation function based watermarking has been known to be one of the effective watermarking schemes that are resilient to geometric transform attacks. In this watermarking scheme, both the peaks in the autocorrelation function of a marked image and the embedded watermark should survive after vari...

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 ...

Embedding a digital signal with information which cannot be removed easily is called „Digital watermarking‟. In visible watermarking of images, a secondary image is embedded in a primary image such that watermark is intentionally perceptible to human observer.The present work aims at visible watermarking algorithm based on luminance parameters in DCT domain. Visible watermarking is a type of di...

Piracy is a big threat to the original contents. This multi-model approach interleaves some frequency domain watermarking strategies to counteract shortcomings of one strategy by the advantages of other. The original image is divided into spatially disjoint blocks. Watermarking is a way of embedding a mark that hides information in a multimedia carrier. Major issues in Image watermarking are to...

Medical image security can be enhanced using the reversible watermarking technique, it allows us to embed the relevant information with the image, which provides confidentiality, integrity and authentication by embedding RSA encrypted digital signature with the image. This paper discusses the need for reversible watermarking techniques and security related problems in medical images. Here we ar...

Digital image watermark has been studied as object. It analyzed the typical digital watermark algorithms based on the space domain and transform domain and key researched watermarking algorithm based on discrete wavelet transform. It has designed and improved blind watermarking algorithm and color image watermarking algorithm. Finally, based on the two improved watermarking algorithm, it has de...

The objective of this work is to develop a hardware-based watermarking system to identify the device using which the photograph was taken. The watermark chip will be fit in any electronic component that acquires the images, which are then watermarked in real time while capturing along with separate key. Watermarking is the process of embedding the watermark, in which a watermark is inserted in ...

In the contourlet transform (CT), the Laplacian pyramid (LP) decomposes an image into a low-frequency (LF) subband and a high-frequency (HF) subband. The LF subband is created by filtering the original image with 2-D low-pass filter. However, the HF subband is created by subtracting the synthesized LF subband from the original image but not by 2-D high-pass filtering the original image. In this...
