The increased utilization of internet in sharing and distribution of digital data makes it is very difficult to maintain copyright and ownership of data. Digital watermarking offers a method for authentication and copyright protection. We propose a blind, still image, Genetic Programming (GP) based robust watermark scheme for copyright protection. In this scheme, pseudorandom sequence of real number is used as watermark. It is embedded into perceptually significant blocks of vertical and…

Semi fragile watermarking for content based image authentication and recovery in the DWT-DCT domains

This paper proposed an authentication scheme that uses content invariant features of the image as a self authenticating watermark and a quantized down sampled approximation of the originalimage as a recovery watermark, both embedded securely using a pseudorandom sequence into multiple sub bands in the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) domain.
