Traditional watermark embedding schemes inevitably modify the data in a host audio signal and lead to the degradation of the host signal. In this paper, a novel audio zero-watermarking algorithm based on discrete wavelet transform(DWT), discrete cosine transform(DCT), and singular value decomposition(SVD) is presented. The watermark is registered by performing SVD on the coefficients generated through...
In this paper, we present a high-capacity watermarking scheme for color images by using the idea of L2-Norm centroid. Based on spatial domain, the proposed scheme can effectively embed a secret watermark in a host image. Simulations demonstrate that the marked images generated by the proposed watermarking scheme are tolerant of versatile attacks such as color reduction, compression, cropping, blurring,...
In this paper, we propose a watermarking scheme with high perceived quality for color images by using the Euclidean distance of radius-weighted mean (RWM) and centroid. Based on spatial domain, the proposed watermarking scheme can effectively embed a secret message in host images. Simulations demonstrate that the marked images generated by the proposed watermarking scheme are tolerant of versatile...
Zero-watermark technique, embedding watermark without modifying carriers, has been broadly applied for copyright protection of images. However, there is little research on audio zero-watermark. This paper proposes an audio zero-watermark scheme based on energy relationship between adjacent audio sections. Taking use of discrete wavelet transformation (DWT), it gets power approximations, or energies,...
Based on integer wavelet transform (IWT), the author uses the idea of radius-weighted mean (RWM) and present a high-capacity color image watermarking scheme. More specifically, the Euclidean distance of RWM and centroid is used as the embedding criterion, a watermark is hidden in the low-low (LL) subbnad of IWT domain. To further promote payload size, the criterion of Euclidean norm of RWM is employed...
In this paper, we propose a lossless data hiding based on smart boundary adjustment approach. More specifically, by preserving either the minimum or the maximum pixel values of the blocks, data bits can be effectively embedded into the blocks without any occurrence of overflow and underflow. Experiments confirm that perceived quality is good and the payload is large while our peak signal-to-noise...
This paper proposes a robust video watermarking for H.264/AVC using block polarity and AC correlation schemes. In the proposed method, the intra frames are used for watermarking embedding and protection. Block polarity is obtained using the nonzero quantized DC coefficient in each integer DCT block. Then, the selective block polarity of DCT block is used to perform the Intra prediction modes for luminance...
In this paper, we propose a new loss less data hiding method by the adaptive coefficient-bias (ACB) algorithm. The proposed ACB algorithm involves two main steps: block-mean removal and pixel isolating. The block-mean removal first generates the difference blocks, which are obtained by subtracting each pixel of the host block from the predicted mean. Then, the pixel isolating minimizes distortion...
In this paper, a novel reversible watermarking method based on the coefficient adjustment technique is proposed. A host image is first decomposed into the integer wavelet transform (IWT) domain. Subsequently, a secret message is embedded into the low-high (LH), high-low (HL), and high-high (HH) sub-bands of the IWT using the coefficient adjustment method. Experiments confirm that the proposed method...
A simple and effective lossless data hiding algorithm is presented. Based on integer wavelet transform (IWT), a secret message is embedded in the three high subbands of IWT domain by the proposed coefficient-bias algorithm. More specifically, to provide a higher hidden space without severe distortion, only the coefficients of each block that located in a predetermined interval are utilized to hide...
A so-called DHCED (Data Hiding by Conjugate Error Diffusion) method was proposed to hide a binary visual secret into halftone images such that the watermarked halftone image still has good visual quality. When decoding, the secret can be visually revealed by directly superimposing the halftone images. The authors claimed that the DHCED scheme reduced the boundary artifacts around the hidden visual...
A DCT-based digital watermarking by using quotient-embedding scheme with smart arrangement technique is proposed. To increase the hidden capacity while maintaining the robustness of the proposed method, input data are first bundled to a set of 4-octet with a smart arrangement and then embedded in the predetermined low- and middle-frequency coefficients of a DCT block. Simulations show that the mixed...
A simple digital watermarking based on integer wavelet transform (IWT) is proposed. Instead of hiding data bits directly to the blocks, we employ adaptive bit-labeling scheme to a block so that it can be used to carry a data bit 0 or 1. Simulations show that the proposed method robustness against manipulations such as JPEG2000, JPEG, cropping, (color) quantization, noise additions, low-pass filtering,...
A simple watermarking scheme based on the discrete cosine transform (DCT) is proposed. To increase the hidden capacity while maintaining the robustness of the proposed method, the authors use quotient-embedding algorithm to hide the secret message in the selected low-frequency coefficients of a DCT block. Simulations show that the stego-images generated by the proposed method do robustness against...
