Abstract: The interest in data hiding has raised with the recent activity in digital copyright protection schemes. One way to protect the ownership of a digital image is to secretly embed data in the content of the image identifying the owner. In particular we will describe how one can use watermarking to hide information in a digital image. Multiple watermarking is used for embedding multiple ...

Digital watermarking [1] is the act of hiding information in multimedia data, for the purposes of content protection or authentication. In ordinary digital watermarking, the secret information is embedded into the multimedia data (cover data) with minimum distortion of the cover data. Due to these watermarking techniques the watermark image is almost negligible visible. In this paper we will di...

In a digital watermarking scheme, it is not convenient to carry the original image all the time in order to detect the owner’s signature from the watermarked image. Moreover, for those applications that require different watermark for different copies, it is preferred to utilize some kind of watermark-independent algorithm in extraction. This paper presents a digital color image watermarking sc...

With the advancements in the field of digital image processing during the last decade, digital image data hiding techniques such as watermarking, Steganography have gained wide popularity. Digital image watermarking techniques hide a small amount of data into a digital image which, later can be retrieved using some specific retrieval algorithms to prove the copyright of a piece of digital infor...

Digital watermarking has been widely applied to solve copyright protection problems of digital media relating to illegal use or distribution. In the past few years, several gray-level image watermarking schemes have been proposed, but their application to color image watermarking schemes is scarce and usually works on the luminance or individual color channel. In this paper, a new color image w...

In this paper, we present a new blind digital image watermarking method. We introduce interval wavelet decomposition, which is a combination of a discrete wavelet transform and interval arithmetic, and we examine its properties. According to our experimental results, this combination is a good way to produce a kind of redundancy from the original image and to develop new watermarking methods. T...

The digital revolution in digital image processing has made it possible to create, manipulate and transmit digital images in a simple and fast manner. The adverse affect of this is that the same image processing techniques can be used by hackers to tamper with any image and use it illegally. This has made digital image safety and integrity the top prioritized issue in today’s information explos...

The rapid increase of digitized media because of the proliferation of networked multimedia has created many issues like related to copyright protection, easily copying and transmitting the digital data. This has created the need for various techniques which helps to protect the digital media over the internet. Digital watermarking is one of the solutions. Digital watermarking is a technique whi...

The paper introduces the digital watermarking technology which is a data hiding technique that embeds a message into a multimedia work such as an image or text or other digital object. The proposed technique has several important applications; the majorly important is the digital copyrights protection. The digital watermarking system as any other data hiding technique has its own requirements t...

Watermarking of digital content is an imperative and interactive method for identification and protection of digital data. It allows veritable watermarks to be hidden in digital data for example image, audio, and video. Procedure of embedding and extracting of watermark from original image and watermarked image is complex. These include randomization of the watermark and selection of locations ...
