چکیده

An adaptive watermarking method based on the human visual system model and the fuzzy inference system in wavelet domain is proposed. Fuzzy logic is used for data fusion and builds a HVS model for spatial masking in wavelet domain. Modeling spatial masking is a complicated task and there is no single theoretical formulation to precisely compute the perceptual value for a corresponding wavelet coefficient. Fuzzy logic is used for data fusion and operates on the HVS model for spatial masking in wavelet domain. The fuzzy input variables (brightness, luminosity, texture) are computed for each wavelet coefficient in the image. The output of the fuzzy system is a single value which gives a perceptual value for each corresponding wavelet coefficient. The fuzzy based watermarks are robust to attacks and at the same time achieve a high level of imperceptibility.

A Fuzzy Logic Approach to Digital Image Watermarking

The watermarking system proposed in this paper offers an expert system technique to help solve the ownership claim for accidental attacks on digital images. The proposed spatial domain watermarking system is based on fuzzy logic and was designed with the intent of embedding watermark features such that they are undetectable to the human visual system. To achieve this objective, the development ...

A wavelet-based watermarking algorithm for ownership verification of digital images

Access to multimedia data has become much easier due to the rapid growth of the Internet. While this is usually considered an improvement of everyday life, it also makes unauthorized copying and distributing of multimedia data much easier, therefore presenting a challenge in the field of copyright protection. Digital watermarking, which is inserting copyright information into the data, has been...

A Pyramid-Based Watermarking Technique for Digital Images Ownership Verification

This paper proposes a pyramid-wavelet watermarking scheme for ownership verification of digital images. The discrete wavelet transform (DWT) has been used extensively in recent years in watermarking systems. It provides the necessary perceptual invisibility and robustness. In this paper, a pre-DWT process is implemented using optimal pyramid transform (OPT), where one of the error images that a...

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...

Digital image watermarking for joint ownership verification without a trusted dealer

In this paper, we propose a novel watermarking algorithm that makes use of a secret sharing scheme to address the problem of joint ownership verification for a digital image without a trusted dealer, which has not be addressed so far. Given that multiple owners create an image jointly, they collaboratively compute their own distinct keys without anyone else involved. For the watermarking detect...
