A Robust Watermarking Scheme for Digital Images Using Self Reference

  • Chapter
Advances in Communication Systems and Electrical Engineering

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering ((LNEE,volume 4))

In recent years, transmission of digital multimedia via the Internet has become much easier and faster. The wide use of digital media has also led to an increase in digital piracy. In order to solve this problem, digital watermarking schemes that declare the ownership of digital media have received considerable attention. Digital watermarking is a process of permanently embedding a signature or a copyright message, such as a logo, or series number into digital media. Subsequently, the watermark can be extracted or detected from the watermarked media for copyright ownership identification.
