This paper presents a novel watermarking scheme for authentication of digital color images in social networks. The procedure consists of the embedding of a binary watermark image, containing the owner information, into the image to be authenticated. In order to minimize the artifacts in the host image the process is carried out in the wavelets domain. Concretely, the watermark embedding is performed in the HL4 and LH4 sub-band coefficients of the red, green and blue channels of the original image, based on an optimal channel selection quantization technique. To ensure a high robustness to tampering and malicious attacks a key-based pixel shuffling mechanism is further used. The reverse process is likewise identi fied for the extraction of the watermark from the authenticated image. Both embedding and extraction procedures are benchmarked on diverse color images and under the e ffects of diff erent types of attacks, including geometric, non-geometric, and JPEG compression transformations. The proposed scheme proves to support imperceptible watermarking, while also showing a high resiliency to common image processing operations.

Editor's Notes
- Most data on the Internet including images, videos have been not certified and protected to against the unauthorized copy issue. Therefore, we need a watermarking technique to assign a copyright on our images. In which a watermark is embedded into a host image and able to extract exactly in contention.
- The motivations for proposal of a watermarking method are robustness, imperceptibility and convenience. -> Explain each of them.
- Describe content on the slide
- The input of our method is a color image and a watermark is a binary image. The uniqueness is an optimum color channel selection to apply the embedding rule to achive an imperceptibility at the output. The wavelet coefficients have been modified based on the value of coefficient difference and watermark bits.
- The embedded images in transmission, storage process can be attacks by common digital signal proceses. In extraction, the watermark bits are extracted based on comparing the threshold with coefficient different value. The watermark bits after extracted will be reshuffling to obtain the original one.
- Describe content on the slide
- This slide show the result of image quality after embedding process based on CPNSR and SSIM parameter. Higher value of CPNSR is better. Different images with different structure and texture have different values of CPSNR. SSIM should reach to 1.
- Some results of watermark robustness after extraction under various attacking types : geometric, non-geometric, and lossy JPEG compression. Scaling image to double size and rescaling to original size modifies intensity slightly because interpolation process only consider 4 pixels in neighbor, therefore the pixel is affected by 4 pixels in surrounding. Embedding is implemented on LH and HL sub-band (middle frequency sub-bands including a part of low bandwidth), while Gaussian filter is low-pass filter, that means, this signal process will suppress high frequency and keep low frequency. Actually, the quality after using Gaussian filter is decreased, however, it is not enough. Cropping 25%, that mean, 25% content is removed end replace by 0-bits (black area). We can not extract correctly watermark bit in this area. When rotate the image, the alteration is increased from the center to border of image, and it affects to all pixels in and image and another reason is the operation of wavelet transform on horizontal and vertical dimension, while the effect of rotation is diagonal. With histogram equalization, some results is low depend on the contrast of images. Some image have the low contrast (small range in histogram) will be strongly affected by this attacks. The influence of Gaussian noise on the smooth image (less detail) is less than the image having more details (considering splash sample) Average filter is the opposite case of Gaussian noise when images which have more detail will be strongly modified by this attack (like as mandrill sample).
- Color images, same watermark payload Comparing with method of Niu at the same conditions, the proposed method is outperform in most of attacking types, except Rotation process. 1. Niu: Contourlet transform. Our method: Wavelet transform. 2. Niu: Embedding on Green channel. Our method: optimal channel selection (3 channels) 3. Niu: Embedding on Low frequencies component. Our method: middle frequencies -> better in imperceptibility 4. Niu: SVM in extraction. Out method: thresholding -> more computation time in training and classification in extraction with Niu method.
