Digital Image Watermarking Techniques: A Survey

Due to the recent progress in internet technology and evolution of very high speed networks operating everywhere, protection of digital content is must. So, it has become a tough task to protect copyright of an individual's creation. The purpose of digital watermarking is to incorporate concealed information in multimedia content to ensure a security amenity or simply a labeling application. This paper then categorizes the various watermarking techniques into numerous categories dependent upon the domain in which the concealed data is inserted. We have also provided the comparative analysis of these techniques that can help us to know the positive and negative of these techniques. This comparison can further be used to improvise and propose various new techniques for the same.
