Digital watermarking is a technique of hiding a message related to a digital signal like an image, song, video within the signal. Watermarking tries to hide a message related to the actual content of the digital signal. Watermarking has been used from several centuries in the form of watermarks previously used in plain paper and paper bills. However, the concept of digital watermarking has been developed during last fifteen years and which is now being used for many different applications. The copyright protection is an important parameter of piracy. Basically, ownership identification can be identified as well as the hiding information can also be identified.
Dwt based Invisible Watermarking on Images
The imaging technology is being enhancing day by day, there are a lot of possibilities of reproduction and manipulation of digital data such as digital image, digital audio and digital video, hence a strong digital copyright mechanism must be produced in place. So the protection of digital data content from unauthorized users and the problem of copyright management plays very vital role. The Digital watermarking is being used to protect and safe the data of researchers and to keep secret information inside a signal which cannot be easily detected by unauthorized person or users. The digital watermarking is a field of data hiding which hide the crucial information or data in the original data for protecting illegal duplication and to restrict disturbance of multimedia data. This research paper presents a survey on the digital image watermarking techniques. The output of various digital image watermarking methods has been compared on the basis of the results. A digital watermarking can be described as a stream of bits embedded in a digital file that offers features such as IPM (Intellectual Property Management) and proof of authority of ownership. The digital watermarking has two basic ideas-first is content protection and second is the copyright management. There are various methods to hide information inside an image, audio/video, document etc. But the Image Steganography has its own importance and is most popular among the others. This paper gives a review of various techniques such as image domain and transformation domain algorithms available for implementing Image Steganography. In this paper, an overview of some Digital Watermarking methods are discussed such as Discrete Cosine transform (DCT) and Digital Wavelet Transform (DWT) and its purpose ,techniques, limitations and applications.

attempts to remove or destroy the watermark in time We propose in this paper a Discrete Wavelet domain cannot be easily done. Due to some Transform (DWT) based digital image techniques in the frequency domain [2], [3] they watermarking technique. For embedding process, we required the original image. Among the methods consider the watermark signal as a binary sequence which do not use the original image for watermark which is embedded to the high (HL and HH) detection, Piva et al. [5] suggested adding the frequency band of the blue channel. For detecting watermark to a larger number of DCT coefficients process, the correlation between the high frequency which need not be significant. A larger number of band DWT coefficients of the watermarked image coefficients are here for a significant detector and the watermark signal is compared with the response as compared with the method in [2], since predefined threshold to determine whether the correlation is performed without subtracting out the watermark is present or not. The experimental original image. results show that the method is comparatively robust In this paper, we propose an image watermarking to several attacks such as rotation, scaling, JPEG technique based on DWT. In DWT the pixels when compression, cropping, and multiple watermarking. transformed are arranged from the most significant pixel to the least significant pixel i.e. DWT helps
A Robust Video Watermarking Technique using DWT, DCT, and FFT
—Proposed technique is based on dwt, dct, fft, and svd. First video is converted into frames. Apply DWT on each frame that will convert it into four sub-band frequency ranges as LL, LH, HL, and HH. Apply again DWT on LL sub-band then it will divide as LL1, LH1, HL1, and HH1 sub band of LL band. After applying DWT at 2-level, apply SVD in LL1 Sub-band, DCT in LH1 and FFT in HH1 sub-band of LL band. Same process will be applied on watermark symbol/image. Embed both host frame and watermark image with some scaling factor 'α'. For watermarked video arrange all the decomposed matrices using inverse technique. Watermarked video will be generated. To proof of ownership watermarking extraction process would be follow. And for proofing robustness and security level of this watermarked technique watermarked video will be compared with original video. And NCC, PSNR, BER value would be calculated. I. INTRODUCTION Internet has become indispensible and thus the security and the privacy issue have come to the fore of the computing fraternity. These issues need to be addressed with utmost urgency and highest level of dedication. Watermarking addresses the privacy and security issues. Watermarking has helped not just in security but also in resolving numerous copyright and privacy issues, which became one of the most contentious issues while the expansion of internet. This proposal explores the state of art introduces a novel technique to tackle the elephant in the room. Watermarking techniques can be segregated on the basis of domain based, document based, Perception based and application based. Domain of watermarking technique is divided in to two parts such as on the basis of spatial domain and other is on the basis of frequency domain. In spatial domain watermarking, watermark is embedded by modifying the pixels value of the host image/ video directly. The main advantages of pixel based methods are that they are conceptually simple and have very low computational complexities and therefore are widely used in video watermarking where real-time performance is a primary concern. However, they also exhibit some major limitations. The need for absolute spatial synchronization leads to high susceptibility to de-synchronization attacks; lack of consideration of the temporal axis results in vulnerability to video processing and multiple frame collusion; and watermark optimization is difficult using only spatial analysis techniques. In frequency domain, the watermark is embedded for the robustness of the watermarking mechanism. There are three main methods of data transmission in frequency domain. as DCT DFT and DWT. The main strength offered by transforming domain techniques is that they can take advantage of special properties of alternate domains to address the limitations of pixel-based methods or to support additional features. Generally, transform domain methods require higher computational time. In transform domain technique, the watermark is embedded distributive in overall domain of an original data. Host video is first converted into frequency domain by transformation techniques. The transformed domain coefficients are then altered to store the watermark information. The inverse transform is finally applied in order to obtain the watermarked video. On the basis of document watermarking can be apply on Image, Text, Audio and Video. According to the human perception watermarking is divided in to two parts visible watermark media and invisible watermark media. Invisible watermark is further are of two types robust watermarking and fragile watermarking. For effective watermarking the watermarking techniques need to be imperceptible (watermark should not degrade the quality of multimedia), robust (after applying attacks quality of multimedia should not be degrade), and secure from various attacks. In Most of the watermarking techniques, the watermark is embedded into the frequency domain instead of the spatial domain for the robustness of the watermarking mechanism. Discrete Cosine Transformation (DCT), Discrete Fourier Transformation (DFT) and Discrete Wavelet Transformation (DWT) are the three main methods of data transformation in this domain. The main strength offered by transforming domain techniques is that they can take advantage of special properties of alternate domains to address the limitations of pixel-based methods or to support additional features.

International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research (IJSER), France, ISSN 2229-5518, Vol.3, Issue 6, Pages 1- 9, 2012
Digital watermarking is a new method of protecting multimedia content from unauthorized copying. A digital multimedia technology has offered many facilities in the transmission, reproduction and manipulation of data. However, this advance has also brought the problem such as copyright protection for content providers. Copyright protection of images has become a major concern with the rapid expansion of the Internet, which contains millions of freely available images. Digital watermarking is one of the proposed solutions for copyright protection of multimedia and is becoming a major player not only for use in images but also in the latest technology such as audio, image and video. In this paper robustness of digital image watermarking algorithm based on transforming domain. We are proposing a robust combined Discrete Laguerre Transform (DLT) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) watermark transformation algorithm. Experimental results show that the higher robustness against common signal processing attacks. The combined of DLT and DWT, the proposed system achieves significantly higher robustness of the method against some common image processing operations such as Salt and Pepper noise addition , Gaussian noise addition, Speckle Noise addition, Cropping, JPEG compression.
A new optimized robust digital image watermarking scheme based on DWT
In this paper, a wavelet-based logo watermarking scheme is presented. The logo watermark is embedded into all sub-blocks of the LLn sub-band of the transformed host image, using quantization technique. Extracted logos from all sub-blocks are mixed to make the extracted watermark from distorted watermarked image. Knowing the quantization step-size, dimensions of logo and the level of wavelet transform, the watermark is extracted, without any need to have access to the original image. Robustness of the proposed algorithm was tested against the following attacks: JPEG2000 and old JPEG compression, adding salt and pepper noise, median filtering, rotating, cropping and scaling. The promising experimental results are reported and discussed.
A Robust Video Watermarking Scheme using DWT and DCT
Digital data is easily available in the form of images and videos, over the internet. Consequently, the increased importance of digital content invites new challenges for securing the distribution of digital media. This paper addresses a unique, robust copyright protection scheme for videos. In this watermarking algorithm, the video frames are selected randomly from the reference frames of original host video. The embedding of digital signature, tag or data is carried out in the frequency domain. The high frequency bands i.e. LH and HL in the wavelet domain are selected on which DCT is applied. The mid frequency coefficients of these DCT coefficients are altered by low frequency coefficients of the watermark to be embedded. The watermark can be retrieved from the watermarked video by randomly selecting any reference frame. The proposed algorithm is more secure, robust and efficient because of use of DWT and DCT. The algorithm uses the HL and LH bands to add the watermark where the motion does not affect the quality of extracted watermark even if the video is subjected to different types of malicious attacks. The technique is tested for various attacks and stands out to be fairly acceptable and robust against a wide range of signal and video processing operations. The embedded video is of good quality with high PSNR. The technique shows efficient extraction of watermark with high PSNR of the retrieved watermark.
Digital Image Watermarking Using DWT and FWHT
International Journal of Image, Graphics and Signal Processing, 2018
Digital Image Watermarking is a process of embedding a known data into an Image. Several techniques are developed to embed a watermark into a known cover image. Digital image watermarking provides security like copyright protection, ownership, and authentication to the images. In this paper, a new robust image watermarking and the watermark extraction algorithm is proposed using DWT-FWHT transformation. The watermarking algorithm further calculates the peaksignal to noise ratio(PSNR) values on the selected images and the extraction process involves the process of correlating the extracted watermark with the original watermark for various sub-bands of discrete wavelet transformation. The digital image watermarking algorithms using discrete wavelet transformation have been identified to be more prevalent as compared to those with the other watermarking algorithms. This is due to the wavelets high spatial localization, frequency spread, and multi-resolution characteristic features which are much similar to that of the theoretical models of the human visual system.
