Abstract
The research on watermarking has been increasing day-by-day since past decade. It has been largely driven by its important applications in digital copyrights management and protection. To provide more watermarks and to minimize the distortion of the watermarked image, a novel technique is presented in this paper. In this paper, the singular value decomposition (SVD)-based image watermarking scheme is proposed. The output result of SVD is more secure and robust. SVD is often used to develop robust watermarking algorithms. However, the SVD-based algorithms exhibit false-positive problem and pose security concern. In this work, we try to overcome this problem. In the proposed schemes, the host image is first decomposed into sub-bands by applying discrete wavelet transform (DWT). The watermark image is embedded in all the sub-bands by modifying the singular values of each sub-band. Next to it, we propose to encrypt and embed the singular values of the watermark image instead of original singular values. RSA algorithm has been used for the encryption process. Peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) is used to measure the imperceptibility of the proposed schemes. The simulation result shows its efficacy.
