ABSTRACT

we start by first characterizing the most important and distinguishing features of wavelet-based watermarking schemes. Application scenario,copyright protection is considered and building on the experience that was gained, implemented two distinguishing watermarking schemes. Detailed comparison and obtained results are presented and discussed.

  Types of Watermarked Images:

1.Visible watermarking

2.Invisible watermarking

Discrete Wavelet Transform

The discrete wavelet transform (DWT) has gained widespread acceptance in signal processing and image compression.

Recently the TIF committee has released its new image coding standard, TIF-2000, which has been based upon DWT.

Advantages of DWTAllows good localization both in time and spatial

frequency domain.Better identification of which data is relevant to

human perception higher compression ratioHigher flexibility: Wavelet function can be freely

chosen

Disadvantages of DWT

The cost of computing DWT as compared to DCT is higher.

Longer compression time

Future scope

The work presented in this project is not user friendly i.e. one can provide a graphical user interface for the work that has been presented. Also the effective retrieving of the image when passed through a lossy channel can be considered for further work. The compression of the watermarked image can also be considered in this process

Conclusion

Watermarking has been used as a tool for embedding image for copyright protection. It is also used for transmission of the data securely and also provided assistance to

management of information.  

Applications

Broadcast Monitoring (Television news often contains watermarked video from international agencies)

Copyright protection Fingerprinting (Different recipients get

differently watermarked content)
