Abstract
Objective: In the advanced digital world, images are widely transmitted in many applications including health care. Robust blind watermarking is implemented for digital image content security and confidentiality. Statistical Analysis: The existing mechanism requires new benchmarking performance metric along with its response to the various attacks on digitally watermarked images. The proposed evaluation framework for image security using blind watermarking namely IS-BRW takes cover image along with secret image of varying resolution by applying different level of Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) as well frequency, time, and wavelet transformation. The method adopts varying data embedding size of the watermark image. Findings: The efficiency of the IS-BW is estimated by measuring Peak-to-Signal-to-Noise (PSNR), Correlation Coefficient (CCR) and Bit Error Ratio (BER). A comparative analysis is done for various attacks which include JPEG compression, Median filter, Wiener filter, Gaussian filter, Image cropping, Image rotation and Image resize. The metric parameters evaluated before and after various attacks do not changes and it remains same which shows the efficiency of the proposed algorithm with other existing systems. Applications: The proposed system is more suitable in the healthcare system where it involves the transmission of scanned medical images over the internet which strictly prohibits the modifications. Keywords: Digital Watermarking For Images, Image Security, Wavelet Transformation, Watermarking Attacks
Highlights
The distribution of multimedia content such as audio, video, image etc., through different communication channel from the various applications is possible seamlessly with advance communication and network system
This paper introduces a novel evaluation framework namely IS-BRW with the objective of achieving optimal embedding capacity with constant visual perception against most of the attacks
The input Cover Image ICis applied with Discrete Fractional Fourier transformation (DFFT) with an angle obtain as a power (P) by concatenating 1st and 2nd value of the range to get the transform coefficient (S)
Summary
The distribution of multimedia content such as audio, video, image etc., through different communication channel from the various applications is possible seamlessly with advance communication and network system. For the optimization of embedding capacity, transform methods are evolved This method is optimized for robustness to sustain the effect of many attacks including noise, Gaussian filter and compression etc. The work done in this direction includes some of the significant work such as space-time coding for water making colour image[42], space-time block coding by Irene[43] The limitations found these approaches that watermarked image non-sustainable to the signal processing attacks[44]. A visual attention oriented watermarking technique in Wavelet transform domain and its performance is evaluated under both blind and non-blind system This system provides 25-40% of improvement against JPEG 2000 and filtering attacks[15]. One of the very effective method using fractal encoding and DCT was proposed which uses a double encryption to improve over conventional DCT method and found sustainable to various attacks to maintain its optimality between strength and PSNR18
