Abstract

Digital watermarking at the least significant bit (LSB) for copyright protection is proposed in this paper based on the saliency map. The projected algorithm can embed more information into less perceptive areas within the original image determined by Itti-Koch saliency map. It gives a concept of the areas which has excellent data hiding capacity in an image. The area/region with less perceptibility denotes the most insignificant region from the aspect of visibility in an image, so any modification within these areas will be less evident to any observer. Here the algorithm is being evaluated by means of imperceptibility and robustness. Thus images embed with a watermark will project higher bit capacity.
