Abstract

A blind extraction watermarking method on color images is designed to protect © & identify owner of multimedia. Watermark in color is exploited to deliver universality and boundless applicability to proposed watermarking method. The host data is decomposed by applying four decomposition techniques like Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), QR, SVD & Schur decomposition. Arnold transformed watermark is utilized for better security. This scheme embed’s color watermark into gray-scale cover image which will be out of attacker’s expectation. A probabilistic neural network (PNN) is utilized in the watermark extraction. Robustness and quality of scheme are evaluated with quality measurement functions like Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Normalized Correlation Coefficient (NCC).
