Wavelet-based self-similar watermarking for still images
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a wavelet-based watermarking method for copyright protection of still images. Watermarks are structured in such a way to attain spatial self-similarity with respect to a cartesian grid. Embedding and detection are performed in the wavelet domain allowing thus multiresolution detection. The novelty of the current approach is the use of self-similar watermarks (quasi scaleinvariant), which are expected to be robust against geometric transformations, especially scaling. The approach proves rather efficient against many kinds of distortions, such as linear and nonlinear filtering, JPEG compression, scaling, cropping and rotation.

Intelligent scalable image watermarking robust against progressive DWT-based compression using genetic algorithms
Image watermarking refers to the process of embedding an authentication message, called watermark, into the host image to uniquely identify the ownership. In this paper a novel, intelligent, scalable, robust wavelet-based watermarking approach is proposed. The proposed approach employs a genetic algorithm to find nearly optimal positions to insert watermark. The embedding positions coded as chr...
متن کاملA Wavelet-Based Digital Watermarking using Subband-Adaptive Thresholding for Still Images
We present a robust watermarking method for still images using a discrete wavelet transform. The proposed scheme makes use of the image properties in order to make the watermark less perceptible to the HVS. The watermark is embedded in the coefficients of all subbands (except the LL subband), using a subband-adaptive thresholding scheme. We compare the performance of the proposed method with th...
متن کاملEntropy-based Image Watermarking Using Dwt and Hvs
There are a lot of wavelet-based approaches in digital image watermarking literature. In these approaches, the main issue is selection method of wavelet sub-bands’ coefficients and embedding algorithm. In this approach, an entropy-based method is proposed for non-blind watermarking of still gray level images using discrete wavelet transform. In our approach, we have also used the Discrete Wavel...
متن کاملKohonen Self Organizing for Automatic Identification of Cartographic Objects
Automatic identification and localization of cartographic objects in aerial and satellite images have gained increasing attention in recent years in digital photogrammetry and remote sensing. Although the automatic extraction of man made objects in essence is still an unresolved issue, the man made objects can be extracted from aerial photos and satellite images. Recently, the high-resolution s...
متن کاملA remote sensing image self-adaptive blind watermarking algorithm based on wavelet transformation
-Based on the statistical characters of remote sensing image, this paper proposed firstly partition remote sensing image into sub-block images of suitable sizes, and then decomposing these sub-block images with biorthogonal 7/5 wavelet. A novel construction method of wavelet set of coefficients is adopted to embed binary watermarking image into sub-bands except low frequency sub-bands, and real...
