  • We proposed a method of effective watermarking based m HVS. To speak generally, HVS parameters are contrast sensitivity, texture degree, entropy sensitivity and standard of deviation, etc. The aim of this paper is evaluated by the experiments of imperceptibility and correctness of watermark. According to some experimental results, contrast sensitivity function is superior in smooth image. On the other hand, standard of deviation provides good results in rough images. Consequently, how to select the parameters considering image attribute is key problem in effective watermarking.

  • A combined DWT and DCT based watermarking technique of low frequency watermarking with weighted correction is proposed. The DWT has excellent spatial localization, frequency spread and multi-resolution characteristics, which are similar to the theoretical models of the human visual system (HVS). The DCT based watermarking techniques offer compression while DWT based watermarking techniques offer scalability. These desirable properties are used in this combined watermarking technique. In the proposed method watermark bits are embedded in the low frequency band of each DCT block of selected DWT sub-band. The weighted correction is also used to improve the imperceptibility. The extracting procedure reverses the embedding operations without the reference of the original image. Compared with the similar approach by DCT based approach and DWT based approach, the experimental results show that the proposed algorithm apparently preserves superiori mage quality and robustness under various attacks such as JPEG compression, cropping, sharping, contrast adjustments and so on.

  • In this paper, a Fuzzy Inference System(FIS) based watermarking algorithm in Discrete Wavelet Transform(DWT) domain is proposed. A 2D fuzzy inference values, in which the inputs are parameters of the coefficients of the DWT block of the original image and the output is strength of watermark embedded, is devised. The fuzzy inference algorithm guarantees that the watermark to be embedded into the original image adaptively. The experimental results shows that proposed approach is robust to the digital image processing schemes.

  • In this paper, we propose a new feature-based text watermarking for the binary text image. The structure of specific characters from preprocessed text image are modified to embed watermark. Watermark message are embedded and detected by the following method; Hole line disconnect using the connectivity of the character containing a hole, Center line shift using the hole area and Differential encoding using difference of flippable score points. Experimental results show that the proposed method is robust to rotation and scaling distortion.

  • In this paper, a spatial-based perceptual watermarking considering human visual system (HVS) that is proposed for small-size images such as internet shopping-mall image. In our method, a multi-bit data can be embedded in luminance component of color images still keeping the perceptual quality of image. Experimental results demonstrated that watermarks can be strongly embedded while preserving a good fidelity.

  • In this paper, the 1-level DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform) coefficients of a binary logo image are used as the watermark. The watermark should be inserted in the same band which is equivalent to the host image when the watermark is inserted in the wavelet domain. This is the image fusion of the proposed watermarking method. The watermark is inserted in relatively significant coefficients after the insertion area is defined. The more significant coefficients have the important information because they are identified as the edge and major surface in images. The significant coefficients are defined when their absolute value exceeds the threshold. The standard deviation is used as the weight value of watermark insertion in order to strengthen the weight of the watermark insertion according to the value of the coefficients. The proposed watermarking method is an adaptive scheme, and the proposed two detection algorithms can be adaptively used when the watermarked image is distorted by cropping, filtering, or compression.

  • A robust watermarking algorithm is proposed for 3D mesh models. Watermark is inserted into the 2D image which is extracted from the target 3D model. Each Pixel value of the extracted 2D image represents a distance from the predefined reference points to the face of the given 3D model. This extracted image is defined as “range image” in this paper. Watermark is embedded into the range image. Then, watermarked 3D mesh is obtained by modifying vertices using the watermarked range Image. In extraction procedure, the original model is needed. After registration between the original and the watermarked models, two range images are extracted from each 3D model. From these images. embedded watermark is extracted. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is robust against the attacks such as rotation, translation, uniform scaling, mesh simplification, AWGN and quantization of vertex coordinates.

  • This paper proposes new block fragile watermarking for image authentication and integrity by using the existing pixel-based scheme and block-based scheme. The proposed scheme is performed as fellows. First, we choose LUT(Look Up Table) from each pixel of original image and information of the corresponding block. Next, we insert a watermark, modifying original image with values to compare binary original image with the watermark to be embedded. As a result, we provide the means to overcome some weakness of the existing scheme. Binary logo as watermark can be detected from watermarked image and altered location can also be detected by the unit of pixel or that of block in our scheme.

  • In this paper, we designed about OFDM/QPSK image transmission system simulator embedded watermark in wireless channel environment. Channel environment used OFDM/QPSK still image transmission system considering AWGN, Multi-path fading. And, we analyzed effect of still image and watermark information in considered channel environment. Watermark information is coded by DM-SS (Direct Matric/Spread Spectrum) image watermarking scheme, Also, we used interleaving scheme for mitigating the degradation in watermarking data under wireless channel. As a results, we could know that PSNR of watermark image improved of about 1dB by 54.2371dB then apply interleaving in same multi-path fading environment.
