Abstract

Watermarking is the process of embedding the particular information into the audio signal for managing the ownership copyrights through wireless network. During the watermarking process, the audio signal consumes high energy, conflicting problem of robustness and imperceptibility, signal to noise ratio, bit error rate and normalized correlation. To overcome these issues present in the audio watermarking process, novel wavelet decomposition and evolutionary algorithm is utilized. Initially the input information or message has been split into two and the spillted message is watermarked using the audio and the image in wireless network. The first half of the message is watermarked with the help of the image and the next half of the image is watermarked by audio. Initially the watermarked image is transferred into YIQ image, from the transferred image the scrambled image is generated with the help of the Hidden Markov tree counter let wavelet transform method for generating the watermarking image. Then the next part of information is watermarked by audio signal which is decomposed into various sub bands using the Multi-resolution complex dual tree wavelet method. From the decomposed audio signal, the message authentication code based watermarks have been embedded in the lower frequency coefficients. Then the embedded process is performed by using the Dead zone quantization process which is optimized with the help of the Fireflies algorithm for enhancing the quality of the watermarking process. Finally both watermarking process is embedded for improving the security to the information with efficient manner through wireless network. In addition the efficient watermarking process through wireless network reduces the various attacks while extracting the water marker. Thus the optimized wavelet and quantization process improves the image and audio watermarking through wireless network and efficiency of the proposed system is evaluated using the experimental results in terms of the Signal to noise ratio, normalized correlation and bit error rate.
