Digital Watermarking for Image Authentication Based on Combined DCT, DWT and SVD Transformation (original) (raw)

Digital Watermarking on Combined DCT, DWT and SVD

Digital content can frequently copied by unauthorized person and claim to his ownership. But we don't know who the actual owner of that content is. Digital Watermarking is an important issue to solve this kind of problem. This paper presents a hybrid digital image watermarking based on Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) in a zigzag order. From DWT we choose the high band to embed the watermark that facilities to add more information, gives more invisibility and robustness against some attacks. Such as geometric attack. Zigzag method is applied to map DCT coefficients into four quadrants that represent low, mid and high bands. Finally, SVD is applied to each quadrant.

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. Keywords:Digital image watermarking, discrete wavelet transform (DWT),discrete cosine transform (DCT),singular value decomposition (SVD) and message digest (MD algorithm).

The comparison between SVD-DCT and SVD-DWT digital image watermarking

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2018

With internet, anyone can publish their creation into digital data simply, inexpensively, and absolutely easy to be accessed by everyone. However, the problem appears when anyone else claims that the creation is their property or modifies some part of that creation. It causes necessary protection of copyrights; one of the examples is with watermarking method in digital image. The application of watermarking technique on digital data, especially on image, enables total invisibility if inserted in carrier image. Carrier image will not undergo any decrease of quality and also the inserted image will not be affected by attack. In this paper, watermarking will be implemented on digital image using Singular Value Decomposition based on Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) by expectation in good performance of watermarking result. In this case, trade-off happen between invisibility and robustness of image watermarking. In embedding process, image watermarking has a good quality for scaling factor < 0.1. The quality of image watermarking in decomposition level 3 is better than level 2 and level 1. Embedding watermark in low-frequency is robust to Gaussian blur attack, rescale, and JPEG compression, but in high-frequency is robust to Gaussian noise.

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.

Image Watermarking In DCT, DWT and Their Hybridization Using SVD: A Survey

Digital watermarking is one of the vital solution for protecting the intellectual property rights, copy control and content verification. It involves lot of human efforts, cost and time for their protection. Digital watermarking by hybridizing the various transforms along with singular value decomposition (SVD) has gained substantial attention due to development of efficient techniques which increases the performance. In this paper, an exhaustive survey has been done on digital image watermarking based on Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) hybridization with SVD. Although there are standard algorithms for watermarking which proves their robustness but still a lot of things like principal component analysis, redundant and feature extraction based hybridization of transform in place of SVD need to be explored in order to enhance the performance.

A Hybrid Digital Image Watermarking Scheme Incorporating DWT, DFT, DCT and SVD Transformations

Journal of Engineering Research, 2021

Digital watermarking provides copyright protection and proof of ownership by inserting watermark metadata as owner’s identity in digital documents to prevent authenticity and copyright violations. The paper introduces a new hybrid image watermarking scheme by attaching multiple copies of watermarks in carrier image. The new scheme utilizes the advantages of DWT, DFT, DCT and SVD transformations to offer stable resistance in protecting watermark contents from various external attacks. The proposed scheme uses Haar wavelet, Fourier, Onion Peel Decomposition, DCT, zigzag ordering and SVD transforms to decompose the carrier image in to four levels to maintain imperceptibility in the watermarked images. The algorithm attaches replicas of watermark frequency blocks in all frequency components of host image to provide better robustness against external deprivations in watermarked images. The proposed algorithm also provides the increased probability of extracting at least one undamaged rep...

Digital Watermarking Based on DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform) and DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform)

International Journal of Engineering & Technology, 2019

Digital watermarking is a technique to secure privacy of digital information and it’s an important research area. There is a high risk in piracy with technology developments. Therefore, digital watermarking methods are necessary to solve the problem of content authentication and copyright protection. Digital data is available such as images and videos. The increased value of digital content makes new challenges to secure the digital media. Several digital watermarking methods are actually proposed in special domain and transforms domain. Spatial domain methods still have relatively low-bit capacity. Frequency domain-based methods are more robust and can embed more bits for watermark. watermarking in the frequency domain includes: Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). In this work, digital watermarking method for embedding and extraction copyright protection based on DWT and DCT is proposed. The two methods taking benefit from the advantages of both techniques and make one hybrid method. The combined method is applied on two-dimensional images (original cover image and watermark image). This watermarking method provides good performance and strong robustness.

Recent Advances in Computer Science and Communications, 2021

Background: Nowadays information security is one of the biggest issues of social networks. The multimedia data can be tampered with, and the attackers can then claim its ownership. Image watermarking is a technique that is used for copyright protection and authentication of multimedia.
