Abstract | A dual-image watermarking approach is presented in this research. The presented work utilizes the properties of Hessenberg decomposition, Redundant discrete wavelet transform (RDWT), Discrete cosine transform (DCT) and Singular value decomposition (SVD). For watermarking, the YCbCr color space is employed. Two watermark logos are for embedding. A YCbCr format conversion is performed on the RGB input image. The host image's Y and Cb components are divided into various sub-bands using RDWT. The Hessenberg decomposition is applied on high-low and low-high components. After that, SVD is applied to get dominant matrices. Two different logos are used for watermarking. Apply RDWT on both watermark images. After that, apply DCT and SVD to get dominant matrices of logos. Add dominant matrices of input host and watermark images to get the watermarked image. Average PSNR, MSE, Structural similarity index measurement (SSIM) and Normalized correlation coefficient (NCC) are used as the performance parameters. The resilience of the presented work is tested against various attacks such as Gaussian low pass filter, Speckle noise attack, Salt and Pepper, Gaussian noise, Rotation, Median and Average filter, Sharpening, Histogram equalization and JPEG compression. The presented scheme is robust and imperceptible when compared with other schemes. |
