“…Therefore protection of ownership rights in a scientific manner is of vital importance. One of the strong mechanism to deal with copyright protection of digital content is watermarking, which has undergone a thorough research over the past few decades and accordingly resulted into to development of numerous watermarking schemes [17,24,35,43,47,55,61,63,68,71,79]. However in view of the growing volume of data in every walk of life and its usage, it is imperative to explore new and more effective techniques to protect its ownership rights.…”

In today's knowledge driven society and technology driven economy, when data is considered to be one of the most important corporate resource of an organization, equally important is the security of the same to prevent unauthorized users to access and manipulate it. Watermarking being an appropriate solution for claiming authorization has prompted many researchers to work in this direction and accordingly a substantial amount of research work has been done using different schemes on various media types. The main impetus in writing this paper is to provide a broader view as how much work has been carried so far and what are the different dimensions that have been taken into consideration to watermark color images using discrete wavelet transformation. The paper will help prospective researchers to gain more insight about the work that has been done and pave a way for them to design and implement better techniques.

“…As a result, the watermarking technology for copyright protection of color images has gradually developed. Depending on the difference of the embedding locations, image watermarking can be divided into two categories: watermarking in the spatial domain [13][14][15] and watermarking in the transform domain [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. Chou and Wu [13] embedded the color watermark image into the color host images uniformly by modifying the quantization indices of color pixels.…”

“…The imperceptibility of this algorithm is relatively poor. Lakrissi et al [23] proposed a novel dynamic color image watermarking algorithm combining the DWT with SVD. The watermark was randomly embedded into LL sub-bands based on the human visual system (HVS) to choose an adaptive scaling factor.…”

With the wide application of color images, watermarking for the copyright protection of color images has become a research hotspot. In this paper, a robust color image watermarking algorithm based on all phase discrete cosine biorthogonal transform (APDCBT) and shuffled singular value decomposition (SSVD) is proposed. The host image is transformed by the 8 × 8 APDCBT to obtain the direct current (DC) coefficient matrix, and then, the singular value decomposition (SVD) is performed on the DC matrix to embed the watermark. The SSVD and Fibonacci transform are mainly used at the watermark preprocessing stage to improve the security and robustness of the algorithm. The watermarks are color images, and a color quick response (QR) code with error correction mechanism is introduced to be a watermark to further improve the robustness. The watermark embedding and extraction processes are symmetrical. The experimental results show that the algorithm can effectively resist common image processing attacks, such as JPEG compression, Gaussian noise, salt and pepper noise, average filter, median filter, Gaussian filter, sharpening, scaling attacks, and a certain degree of rotation attacks. Compared with the color image watermarking algorithms considered in this paper, the proposed algorithm has better performance in robustness and imperceptibility.
