Increase Security of Images from Attacks Using Watermarking Technique

Digital watermarking is used to hide the information inside a signal, which cannot be easily extracted by the third party. Its wide- ly used application is copyright protection of digital information. It is different from the encryption in the sense that it allows the user to access, view and interpret the signal but protect the ownership of the content. One of the current research areas is to protect digital water- mark inside the information so that ownership of the information cannot be claimed by third party. With a lot of information available on various search engines, to protect the ownership of information is a crucial area of research. In recent year, several digital watermarking techniques are presented based on discrete cosine transform (DCT), discrete wavelets transform (DWT) and discrete fourier transforms (DFT). In this paper, we proposed an algorithm for digital image watermarking technique based on singular value decomposition; both of the L and U components are explored for watermarking algorithm. This technique refers to the watermark embedding procedure and wa- termark extracting procedure. Digital image watermarking techniques for copyright protection is robust. The experimental results prove that the quality of the watermarked image is good and that there is strong resistant against many attacks. The image watermarking tech- niques help to achieve artificial intelligence. Digital image watermarking is the most effective solution in this area and its use to protect the information is increasingly exponentially day by day.
