Implementation of object oriented approach for copyright protection using Hadamard transforms

The World Wide Web is, in many respects, a world without barriers. Its openness is highly appealing, if not downright noble. Unfortunately people can take advantage of this electronic latitude to unlawfully take what is not theirs. Efforts aimed at protecting intellectual property are limited to crop up gateways that show lengthy legal documents establish ownership; it does not provide enforcement of tracking stolen intellectual property in the digital world. Copy right protection is one of the proposed solutions for protection of intellectual property. In this paper, we propose an efficient object oriented approach for the copyright protection. This approach can embed an entire image as a watermark into the original image for indicating the copyright. The performance of the proposed technique is better compared to other techniques like Discrete Cosine Transforms, Discrete Wavelet Transforms. It can extract better-quality watermarks and it takes little time to embed and extract the watermark.
