Robust Algorithm of Digital Image Watermarking Based on Discrete Wavelet Transform (original) (raw)

Image Watermarking Based on the Discrete Wavelet Transform Statistical Characteristics

EUROCON 2005 - The International Conference on "Computer as a Tool", 2005

The current paper proposes a robust watermarking method for still images that embeds a binary watermark into the detail subbands of the image wavelet transform. The perceptually significant coefficients are selected for each subband using a different threshold. The threshold is computed based on the statistical analysis of the wavelet coefficients. For greater invisibility of the mark, the approximation subband is left unmodified. The watermark is embedded several times to achieve robustness. The method is tested against different types of attacks (lossy compression, AWGN, scaling, cropping, intensity adjustment, filtering and collusion attack). The proposed method was compared with a state-of-the-art watermarking method, highlighting its performances.

IJERT-Robust Invisible Digital Image Watermarking using Discrete Wavelet Transform

In this scheme, digital image watermarking algorithm is based on the DWT coefficients. A defined algorithm does not change any information of the original image. It combines the information of low frequency DWT coefficients and the watermark image. This combination is used as key, which is used to for extraction of the watermark. Watermark extraction can be simply done because the proposed algorithm does not change any information of the original image. Quality of the original image remains unaffected.

A robust image watermarking scheme based on discrete wavelet transforms

2015 2nd International Conference on Knowledge-Based Engineering and Innovation (KBEI), 2015

This paper presents a robust image watermarking method based on discrete wavelet transform. In this method, first, the watermark is coded with chaotic map and then embedded in the middle frequency band of the image to minimize the changes. This process improves the image continuity and robustness against different image processing attacks. Experimental results show that, the proposed method not only achieves the main objectives of watermarking successfully, but also has higher robustness against different attacks compared to the earlier works.

Wavelet transform based watermark for digital images

Optics Express, 1998

In this paper, we introduce a new multiresolution watermarking method for digital images. The method is based on the discrete wavelet transform (DWT). Pseudo-random codes are added to the large coefficients at the high and middle frequency bands of the DWT of an image. It is shown that this method is more robust to proposed methods to some common image distortions, such as the wavelet transform based image compression, image rescaling/stretching and image halftoning. Moreover, the method is hierarchical.

An Additive Watermarking Technique In Gray Scale Images Using Discrete Wavelet Transformation And Its Analysis On Watermark Strength

2016

Digital Watermarking is a procedure to prevent the unauthorized access and modification of personal data<em>.</em> It assures that the communication between two parties remains secure and their communication should be undetected. This paper investigates the consequence of the watermark strength of the grayscale image using a Discrete Wavelet Transformation (DWT) additive technique. In this method, the gray scale host image is divided into four sub bands: LL (Low-Low), HL (High-Low), LH (Low-High), HH (High-High) and the watermark is inserted in an LL sub band using DWT technique. As the image is divided into four sub bands, a watermark of equal size of the LL sub band has been inserted and the results are discussed. LL represents the average component of the host image which contains the maximum information of the image. Two kinds of experiments are performed. In the first, the same watermark is embedded in different images and in the later on the strength of the waterma...

Digital Watermarking using Wavelet Transform Algorithm

Digital watermarking is the newfangled idea in digital media. As the replication and modification of digital media content is done frequently and without any significant obstruction, secrecy and authenticity become vulnerable to attacks. In the information hiding community digital watermarking has achieved immense popularity due to its righteous stronghold against piracy and non-repudiation. Many watermarking algorithm has been developed in recent years. From the context of the purposes, as they serve, they differ from each other. In this paper we focus on digital watermarking technique & algorithm for digital watermarking technique using discrete wavelet transformation.

Simple Image Watermarking Method using Wavelet Transform

The watermarking is a digital process that preserves copyright and ownership of digital media such as audio, video, and images. This process depends on hiding a digital signature in a carrier signal where this signature has to be related to the original signal. In this paper we develop a simple watermarking method operating in the frequency domain for grayscale digital images. The proposed method embeds the message in the LL1 sub-band produced by the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) of the original image by using the Least Significant Bit (LSB) substitution method. Three cover images were used to test the performance of the proposed method. Different experiments were carried out to test the performance of the proposed method and the results show that little and unnoticeable degradation, while the watermark was recovered perfectly, which is considered an acceptable results.

On Watermarking Using Arnold and Wavelet Transform

This paper presents a robust but secured blind digital image watermarking algorithm based on two dimensional discrete wavelet transform. The algorithm is robust because instead of inserting watermark image as it is in a wavelet channel, the watermark image is compound encrypted using Arnold transform and Logistic mapping and then inserted into the desired wavelet channel. The algorithm proposed is secured because there are many parameters that can be used as a security key e.g. the initial value of the Logistic mapping parameters and the iterative time of the Arnold transform. It is also possible to change the initially selected parameters. The algorithm was tested using different powerful attacks like bit compression, JPEG compression, median filtering, image cropping etc. The Experimental result found supports the robustness and security of the proposed algorithm.

Robust Image Watermarking Scheme Based on Wavelet Technique

2011

In this paper, an image watermarking scheme based on multi bands wavelet transformation method is proposed. At first, the proposed scheme is tested on the spatial domain (for both a non and semi blind techniques) in order to compare its results with a frequency domain. In the frequency domain, an adaptive scheme is designed and implemented based on the bands selection criteria to embed the watermark. These criteria depend on the number of wavelet passes. In this work three methods are developed to embed the watermark (one band (LL|HH|HL|LH), two bands (LL&HH | LL&HL | LL&LH | HL&LH | HL&HH | LH&HH) and three bands (LL&HL&LH | LL&HH&HL | LL&HH&LH | LH&HH&HL) selection. The analysis results indicate that the performance of the proposed watermarking scheme for the non-blind scheme is much better than semi-blind scheme in terms of similarity of extracted watermark, while the security of semi-blind is relatively high. The results show that in frequency domain when the watermark is added ...
