Digital image watermarking is an active research field since it provides protection, security, and authenticity of data. This paper presents development and implementation of a blind and robust watermarking application for ID images under a print-cam system. In the present case, the images are watermarked and printed on ID cards and then detected freehandedly with a smartphone camera. In order to design an efficient and robust image watermarking application, the attacks produced in print-cam processes, such as geometric distortions, must be resolved. Accordingly, the proposed watermarking approach is applied in the Fourier domain. Then, a frame-based projective rectification is integrated to deal with geometric distortions by using detection of Hough lines. Moreover, better robustness against print-cam watermarking attacks was achieved compared with the existing methods, and an Android application was designed and implemented based on the proposed scheme.

Watermarking Scheme

In this paper, a new robust digital image watermarking algorithm which was based on singular value decomposition (SVD) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) was proposed and simulated for protecting real property rights. A gray scale logo image, rather than a randomly generated Gaussian noise type watermark, was used as a watermark. Its embedding algorithm hid a watermark LL sub-band blocks in the low–low (LL) and high-high (HH) sub-bands of a target non-overlapping block of the host image by modifying singular values on SVD version of these blocks. A semi-blind watermark extraction was designed to estimate the original coefficients. Experimental results showed that the proposed scheme made significant improvements in terms of both transparency and robustness and was superior to the existing methods which were considered in this paper.

In this paper, we introduce a robust image watermarking method based on bi-dimensional empirical mode decomposition against geometric distortion. Based on the characteristics of the image theory and human visual system, the proposed method makes use of orthogonal properties of empirical mode decomposition to achieve the bi-dimensional empirical mode decomposition transform on the image. The image is decomposed into a series of IMFs and residue which contain the different frequency parts of the image. So the watermark is adaptively weighed to the different positions of the middle frequency IMF region. The method makes use of the multi-scale analysis characteristics of image bi-dimensional empirical mode decomposition theory and the person’s sense of vision and shows excellent advantage against shearing attack. The method could show the watermark clearly when half of the image has been cut. Experimental results show this method excellent robustness for image shearing. The watermark thus generated is invisible and performs well in StirMark test and is robust to geometrical attacks. Compared with other watermarking algorithms, this algorithm is more robust, especially against geometric distortion, while having excellent frequency properties.

Digital Watermarking is a technology, to facilitate the authentication, copyright protection and Security of digital media. The objective of developing a robust watermarking technique is to incorporate the maximum possible robustness without compromising with the transparency. Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) using Firefly Algorithm provides this objective of an optimal robust watermarking technique. Multiple scaling factors are used to embed the watermark image into the host by multiplying these scaling factors with the Singular Values (SV) of the host image. Firefly Algorithm is used to optimize the modified host image to achieve the highest possible robustness and transparency. This approach can significantly increase the quality of watermarked image and provide more robustness to the embedded watermark against various attacks such as noise, geometric attacks, filtering attacks etc.
