Colour Separation Technique Bit Stream Watermarking Word Space Coding, Line Space Coding &Character Coding

DIGITAL WATERMARKING

Prevailing Techniques

These approaches are not robust against attacks such as

 Filtering  Compression  Additive noise

 Rotation  Scaling  Transformations

Cannot be used for Medical information protection

DIGITAL WATERMARKING

For medical images the signature must be imperceptible The watermarked image should be broadly similar to the original image so as not to lead to a misdiagnosis.

FUZZY INFERENCE SYSTEM & HVS MODEL

DIGITAL WATERMARKING

USING

FIS & HVS MODEL

 The Proposed System Consists of fuzzy inference system to extract the knowledge of sensitivity of human eye using the HVS model.  The FIS and the HVS handsets are used to automatically determine the insertion force in certain frequency components without being visually perceptible.

The Human visual system model (HVS) MODEL

To hide the watermark in the image, it is useful to exploit the weaknesses of the human visual system
The human visual system has been characterized with several Phenomena that permit pixel element adjustments to elude perception.

11

Fuzzy Inference System ( FIS )

We need an expert who knows what to do in all cases : Increase the insertion force in less sensitive areas (areas textured) Decrease the strength of integration in sensitive areas (edges and homogeneous areas) ... etc.

The problem is to automate these processes

Fuzzy Inference System ( FIS )

A popular computing Framework based on fuzzy set theory

o Closeness To Human Perception And Reasoning o Intuitive Handling And Simplicity

WATER MARKING EMBEDDING PROCESS

To enhance the robustness against various image distortions

an insertion force

which must be below a threshold of visual perceptibility.

This force is not always consistent on all components of the watermark inserted but depends on the characteristics of the zones of insertion (Textured, uniform..)
