Performance Evaluation of Spatial and Frequency Domain Techniques under Various Attacks

Internet is very feasible and an excellent distribution system. One way to protect multimedia data against risk of illegal recording and malicious retransmission is to embed a signal, called watermark that authenticates the owner of the data. Watermark is an image or text to be embedded into the documents that needs protection. A good watermarking scheme is the one which can offer resistance against attacks and is imperceptible to hackers. Robustness measures the withstanding capability of watermark against various attacks. This paper is an effort to study different watermarking techniques on the basis of given parameters. For the purpose of implementation, MATLAB is used and comparison is done on the basis of various performance metrics such as PSNR, MSE, Time Complexity, Correlation Co-efficient and robustness against various attacks like cropping, Gaussian noise, salt and pepper noise etc. The result shows that frequency domain techniques are comparatively more robust with DWT being the most robust one.
