چکیده

A new wavelet based logo-watermarking scheme for copyright protection of digital image is presented. Instead of using a noise type Gaussian sequence, a visually meaningful gray scale logo is used as watermark. Watermark embedding process is carried out by transforming both the image and logo in wavelet domain. To embed the watermark robustly and imperceptibly, watermark bits are added to the significant coefficients of each subband selected by considering the human visual system (HVS) characteristics. A scheme is developed for reliable extraction of watermark from distorted images. From the experimental results it can be observed that proposed method is robust to wide variety of attacks. Comparison with the existing methods shows the superiority of the proposed method. 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

A 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 merged to make the extracted watermark from distorted watermarked image. Knowing the quantization step-size, dimensions of logo and the level of wavelet tra...

A New Robust Watermarking Scheme for Document Images by Randomized Distribution of Watermark Segments

A new robust watermarking scheme for protection of document image contents using redundant watermark segments is proposed in this work. A wavelet-based watermarking scheme for embedding a logo has been developed for robust watermarking. At the sender side, a level-2 wavelet transformation is applied on the source document image. LL-sub-band of level-2 of the transformed image is subdivided into...
