Image Watermarking Techniques - A Review

Multimedia communication technology has developed very rapidly during the last few years. The main aim of the watermarking technique is to protect the confidentiality, integrity, availability and authenticity of information in communication from unauthorized access, reveal, disruption, change and copy. In watermarking the required information is inserted in multimedia data. This study analyzes watermarking techniques, various categories of watermarking and its requirements. This study mainly concentrates on two broad categories of Image watermarking.
