Under The Guidance of DR K.Giribabu Head of The Department Ece

The document describes a generic image watermarking system with the following key points: 1. The system embeds semantically meaningful watermarks in the DCT domain of images for invisibility and robustness against distortions like compression. 2. A pseudorandom permutation is applied to the watermark before embedding to spread its spatial relationship, and block-based mapping embeds watermark blocks into image blocks with higher variances. 3. Embedding involves reversing the polarity of selected AC DCT coefficients compared to the DC value to insert the watermark bits while maintaining invisibility against the JPEG quantization table.

ADVANTAGES OF THIS SCHEME

Advantages:

Semantically

meaningful watermark pattern


Good perceptual invisibility
Acceptable robustness
Various user-selected options
Reasonable complexity/execution time

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Watermarks are randomly permuted to spread their


spatial relationship, and then embedded in the DCT
domain of the host image, with consideration of
invisibility/robustness
