Abstract

Nowadays image authentication plays a vital role for security. Watermarking techniques facilitate to hide the data in carrier image in such a way so that data would become imperceptible. Watermarking can be performed either in spatial domain or in transfer domain. Least Significant Bit (LSB) modification is the simple but non reliable theme, which is performed in spatial domain. In transfer domain, Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), Discrete Cosine Transformation (DCT), Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT), Discrete Wavelet Transformation (DWT) and Fast hadamard Transform (FHT) etc provide robust result. The goal of the paper is to present how such methods are useful to authenticate images and avoid image tampering. In our work, we have discussed block and non block based watermarking scheme performed in DCT domain using SVD. Several experiments are carried out to check the robustness of the algorithm. We conclude that non block based algorithm is superior in terms of visual quality after embedding and extraction, while its inferior in terms of some common signal processing attacks like rotation, scaling, translation etc.
