In this paper, two separate methods for robust and invisible image watermarking are proposed in RGB color space. In the first method, gray scale of watermark is embedded on the blue color channel elements and in second method, the blue color channel elements of watermark are embedded on the blue color channel elements of host image. Then, Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is employed on the blue channel of the host image to retrieve the singular values and the watermark is embedded in these singular values. The performances of the methods are assessed using Normalized Correlation (NC) and Peak-Signal-to-NoiseRatio (PSNR) measures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
