Part of the book series: Multimedia Systems and Applications ((MMSA))

Abstract

This chapter presents an improved robust and imperceptible hybrid watermarking technique for medical images using fusion of DWT, DCT and SVD instead of applying DWT, DCT and SVD individually or combination of DWT-DCT, DWT-SVD, and DCT-SVD. In the embedding process, the host image is decomposed into first level discrete wavelet transforms where the low frequency band (LL) is transformed by DCT and SVD. The watermark image is also transformed by DCT and SVD. The ‘S’ vector of watermark information is embedded in the ‘S’ component of the host image. The watermarked image is generated by inverse SVD on modified ‘S’ vector and original U, V vectors followed by inverse DCT and inverse DWT. The watermark is extracted using an extraction algorithm. The performance of proposed technique is also tested by using the benchmark software 'Checkmark' and the technique is found to be robust against the 'Checkmark' attacks. Moreover, the performance of proposed algorithm has also been evaluated for multiple watermarking. The proposed multiple watermarking method preventing the problem of patient identity theft and health data management issues in the healthcare applications.
