Digital Image Watermarking: A Survey

Recently, works are completely based on the internet, so authentication is required to protect the content of the data because owner never wants to degrade the quality of his data. Information hiding via digital watermarks for the multimedia data is the compatible way to provide the protection of data. Watermarks are imperceptible and it is predefined pattern inserting into multimedia data to protect or authenticity. The watermark indicates that data is containing a copyright or not. Many digital watermarking algorithms have been proposed in spatial and transform domain. The performance of the digital watermarking schemes is evaluated as tradeoffs between number of bits embedded on it, robustness against attacks and embedding induced distortions. This work provides a review of information hiding techniques of Digital image watermarking.
