Robust Digital Watermarking using DWT-DCT-SVD Algorithms for Color Image

2015

Digital image watermarking is a method of embedding piece of information into digital content (i.e. images, audio, video and text) and also provides authenticity to digital content. This paper describes the robust digital image watermarking for color image based on algorithms discrete wavelet transform (DWT), discrete cosine transform (DCT) and singular value decomposition (SVD). Performance analysis of the proposed algorithm is carried out by evaluating the performance metrics like MSE, PSNR and NCC values to check effectiveness and imperceptibility of the watermarked image with different attacks like resizing, rotation, salt and pepper noise etc. The main aim of our paper is to provide robustness, security and authenticity to the image.

Blind Watermarking Scheme Based On Rdwt Dct For Color Images

In Digital era sharing of images have become very common and raises the risk of using it for unethical and fraudulent purposes with the help of manipulation tools. Digital image watermarking is one way to protect the digital information (text, images, audio, and video) from fraudulent manipulations. Digital Image Watermarking is a process of implanting data in the original image for authentication. In this paper we are providing one such watermarking scheme for color images. The proposed method is designed to be robust for common attacks with the aid of redundant discrete wavelet transform (RDWT) and discrete cosine transform (DCT) properties. After applying two levels RDWT decomposition to the blue channel of cover image, we apply DCT to HH_LL subband i.e. 2 nd level decomposed coefficient of HH band and to the watermark. Divided the HH_LL sub band into 4x4 subblocks and DCT coefficients of the last subblock of the cover image are replaced with the DCT coefficients of watermark. Inverse DCT and inverse RDWT is performed to get watermarked image. The performance of the proposed technique is measured using the parameters PSNR and NCC.

Recent developments in digital image and Internet technology help the common users to easily produce illegal copies of the images. In order to solve the copyright protection problems of the image, several watermarking schemes have been widely used. Very few watermarking schemes have been proposed for defining the copyrights of color image. To resolve the copyright protection problem of color image, we propose an effective, robust and imperceptible color image watermarking scheme. This scheme embeds the watermark into cover image in (Red, Green, Blue) RGB space. The combinations of Discrete Wavelet Transformation (DWT) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) of Blue channel is used to embed the watermark. The singular values of ditTerent subband coefficients of Blue channel are modified using different scaling factors to embed the singular values of the watermark. The copy of the watermark is embedded into four subband coefficients which is very difficult to remove or destroy. The combinations of DWT and SVD increases the security, robustness and imperceptibility of the scheme

Research on Color Watermarking Algorithm Based on RDWT-SVD

2017

In this paper, a color image watermarking algorithm based on Redundant Discrete Wavelet Transform (RDWT) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is proposed. The new algorithm selects blue component of a color image to carry the watermark information since the Human Visual System (HVS) is least sensitive to it. To increase the robustness especially towards affine attacks, RDWT is adopted for its excellent shift in-variance. In addition, the SVD technique can also ensure the robustness due to the eminent properties of singular values. It is worth mentioning that the watermark information is not processed by SVD in embedding procedure, which prevents the occurrence of false positive detection. Meanwhile, to acquire a balance between imperceptibility and robustness, various scaling factor values are used towards different sub-bands. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has outstanding security, imperceptibility and robustness.

A Robust Color Image Watermarking using Combination of DWT and DCT

IJCA Proceedings on 4th International IT Summit Confluence 2013 - The Next Generation Information Technology Summit, 2014

Watermarking on Digital Images have different methods, some of them deals with frequency domain. The Watermarking techniques using frequency domain produce better results either concerns with image quality or invisibility of the watermark. The digital watermarking is such that it provides copyright protection by information hiding. The researchers all over the world are still trying to find out the way to create robust Digital Image Watermarking Techniques. This research paper produces the new concept of efficient watermarking technique for the Color Image by combining both DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform) and DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform). The result includes combine features of both transformations, so the Watermarking is more Robust than earlier approaches. The Color Image Watermarking is done by selecting one color component from RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) Components of Color Image. The Watermark embeds into any selected component and then again merges with other components. The R (Red) Component plays very important role to the present the color object as well as it is robust to the preserve information associated with it. So, in this research, R (Red) Component is selected to hide Watermark. This approach is more secure because the embedded watermark can only be extract from the Red Component after decomposing Watermarked Image into RGB components, other components (i.e. Blue and Green) does not contain any information about the Watermark.

An enhanced semi-blind DWT–SVD-based watermarking technique for digital images

The Imaging Science Journal, 2012

This paper presents a semi-blind hybrid watermarking technique based on singular value decomposition (SVD) and discrete wavelet transformation (DWT). The proposed technique decomposes the host image using DWT and combines the singular values (SVs) of the watermark and the selected sub-bands. A binary watermark is used to be embedded in the greyscale original image. This watermark image passes through multiple operations before embedding. The watermark is converted into a vector, which is permuted into scrambled data by using a key as the initial random seed of this process. Experimental results show that the proposed technique is able to resist a variety of attacks.

Robust Image Watermarking based on DCT-DWT-SVD Method

International Journal of Computer Applications, 2012

Hybrid Image watermarking scheme proposed based on Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT)-Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT)-Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). The cover image is reordered before DCT is applied. The DCT coefficients of the reordered image are decomposed into sub bands using DWT. The singular values of the middle sub bands are found and watermark is embedded. Simulation results shows that this method can survive attacks like rotation, cropping, JPEG compression and noising attacks and also can be used for copyright protection of multimedia objects.

A hybrid scheme for robust color image watermarking using DSWT in DCT domain

2016 4th IEEE International Colloquium on Information Science and Technology (CiSt), 2016

This paper proposes a hybrid robust image watermarking scheme based on three levels of Discrete Stationary Wavelet Transform (DSWT) in the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) domain. The host image colors (red, green and blue) are separated, and then the DCT is applied on each color after separation. The DSWT is utilized to divide the DCT output into four sub-bands (3 levels). These sub-bands are (A, H, V, D) matrices with the same image size. The watermark is embedded on matrix A. The results of the proposed watermarking scheme are compared with other state-of-the-art schemes. The comparison is based on visualization to detect any degradation of the watermarked image, Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) of the watermarked image, Normal Correlation (NC) of the extracted watermark after detection, applying attacks, and then calculating the PSNR and NC.

Discrete wavelet transform is used to improve robustness of the algorithm. In this paper, only low frequency coefficients (LL band) of DWT are transformed into frequency domain using DCT. The watermark image is embedded into singular diagonal matrix of SVD decomposition of DCT frequency representation of LL band. As the algorithm does not alter any pixel information of cover image, it will not affect quality of cover image. This algorithm is blind watermarking. Security is improved by using unique similarity key technique. Results show that, this algorithm is robust against compression, noise and geometric attacks. Our motivation of image authentication is proved by calculating correlation coefficient between embedded data and extracted data.
