Abstract

The Digital Watermarking Technique has gained its importance due to its ability to provide the secure mechanism for copyright protection and authenticity of the digital data in this high growing internet and computer technology where the tampering and distribution of digital data illegally from unauthorized users is inevitable. For these two important properties of Digital Watermarking, i.e. Robustness and Imperceptibility of watermarked image must take into consideration. In this paper, invisible robust digital watermarking is proposed using Discrete Wavelet Transform and Singular Value Decomposition in YCbCr Color space. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with some previous works and results found are more robust against various geometric attacks.
