This document summarizes a research paper on lossless reversible visible watermarking. It begins with an abstract that describes digital watermarking techniques and introduces a new approach for lossless reversible visible watermarking with robust security. It then provides a literature review of previous lossless invisible and visible watermarking techniques. The proposed technique aims to allow legitimate users to remove embedded watermarks and perfectly recover the original image content. Finally, it outlines the system architecture and provides a mathematical model for the watermark generation, embedding, and extraction processes.
SVD Based Robust Digital Watermarking For Still Images Using Wavelet Transform cscpconf
This paper aims at developing a hybrid image watermarking algorithm which satisfies both
imperceptibility and robustness requirements. In order to achieve our objectives we have used
singular values of Wavelet Transformation’s HL and LH sub bands to embed watermark.
Further to increase and control the strength of the watermark, we use a scale factor. An optimal
watermark embedding method is developed to achieve minimum watermarking distortion. A
secret embedding key is designed to securely embed the fragile watermarks so that the new
method is robust to counterfeiting, even when the malicious attackers are fully aware of the
watermark embedding algorithm. Experimental results are provided in terms of Peak signal to
noise ratio (PSNR), Normalized cross correlation (NCC) and gain factor to demonstrate the
effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Image operations such as JPEG compression from
malicious image attacks and, thus, can be used for semi-fragile watermarking
A Blind Multiple Watermarks based on Human Visual Characteristics IJECEIAES
Digital watermarking is an alternative solution to prevent unauthorized duplication, distribution and breach of ownership right. This paper proposes a watermarking scheme for multiple watermarks embedding. The embedding of multiple watermarks use a block-based scheme based on human visual characteristics. A threshold is used to determine the watermark values by modifying first column of the orthogonal U matrix obtained from Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). The tradeoff between normalize crosscorrelation and imperceptibility of watermarked image from quantization steps was used to achieve an optimal threshold value. The results show that our proposed multiple watermarks scheme exhibit robustness against signal processing attacks. The proposed scheme demonstrates that the watermark recovery from chrominance blue was resistant against different types of attacks.

A NOVEL APPROACH FOR IMAGE WATERMARKING USING DCT AND JND TECHNIQUESijiert bestjournal
Today�s world is digital world. Nowadays,in every field there is enormous use of digital contents. Information handled on internet and multimedia netw ork system is in digital form. The copying of digital content without quality loss is not so diff icult. Due to this,there are more chances of copyi ng of such digital information. So,there is great need o f prohibiting such illegal copyright of digital med ia. Digital watermarking is the powerful solution to ad dress this problem. Digital watermarking is the technology in which there is embedding of various t ypes of information in digital content which we have to protect from illegal copying. This embedded information to protect the data is embedded as watermark. This paper introduces two novel techniqu es for image watermarking such as DCT and JND. The DCT based approach adapted to embed waterm arks in DC,low,mid and high frequency components coefficient of DCT. The JND based approa ch gives robust and transparent scheme of watermarking that exploits the �human visual system s� sensitivity to local image characteristics obtained from the spatial domain,improving upon th e content based image watermarking scheme.
Robust Digital Image-Adaptive Watermarking Using BSS BasedCSCJournals
In a digital watermarking scheme, it is not convenient to carry the original image all the time in order to detect the owner's signature from the watermarked image. Moreover, for those applications that require different watermark for different copies, it is preferred to utilize some kind of watermark-independent algorithm for extraction process i.e. dewatermarking. Watermark embedding is performed in the blue channel, as it is less sensitive to human visual system .This paper proposes a new color image watermarking method ,which adopts Blind Source Separation (BSS) technique for watermark extraction. Single level Discrete Wavelet Transform(DWT) is used for embedding . The novelty of our scheme lies in determining the mixing matrix for BSS model during embedding. The determination of mixing matrix using Quasi-Newton’s (BFGS) technique is based on texture analysis which uses energy as metric. This makes our method image adaptive to embed the watermark into original image so as not to bring about a perceptible change in the marked image. BSS based on Joint diagonalization of the time delayed covariance matrices algorithm is used for the extraction of watermark. The proposed method, undergoing different experiments, has shown its robustness against many attacks including rotation ,low pass filtering, salt n pepper noise addition and compression. The robustness evaluation is also carried out with respect to the spatial domain embedding.

PERCEPTUAL COPYRIGHT PROTECTION USING MULTIRESOLUTION WAVELET-BASED WATERMARK...gerogepatton
In this paper, an efficiently DWT-based watermarking technique is proposed to embed signatures in images to attest the owner identification and discourage the unauthorized copying. This paper deals with a fuzzy inference filter to choose the larger entropy of coefficients to embed watermarks. Unlike most previous watermarking frameworks which embedded watermarks in the larger coefficients of inner coarser subbands, the proposed technique is based on utilizing a context model and fuzzy inference filter by embedding watermarks in the larger-entropy coefficients of coarser DWT subbands. The proposed approaches allow us to embed adaptive casting degree of watermarks for transparency and robustness to the general image-processing attacks such as smoothing, sharpening, and JPEG compression. The approach has no need the original host image to extract watermarks. Our schemes have been shown to provide very good results in both image transparency and robustness.

Comparison of SVD & Pseudo Random Sequence based methods of Image Watermarkingijsrd.com
Due to the extensive use of digital media applications, multimedia security and copyright protection has gained tremendous importance. Digital watermarking is a technology used for the copyright protection of digital applications. Image watermarking is used to hide the special information into the image and to later detect and extract that special information. Watermarking can be implemented both in spatial and frequency domain. In this paper frequency domain techniques were experimented. The methods compared in this paper are image watermarking using singular value decomposition (SVD) based and image watermarking using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and Pseudo random sequence. Our experiments show that former technique have low peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) value and also requires cover data at the detection where as in the later case we don’t require cover data and PSNR value is good.

SIGNIFICANCE OF RATIONAL 6TH ORDER DISTORTION MODEL IN THE FIELD OF MOBILE’S ...P singh
As the time passed, multiple techniques have been proposed on the invisible video watermarking. Watermarking basically means to hide the information into many multiple objects. If the object is video then the name given to this technique is video watermarking. The information which is hidden in the object and isn't seen by anyone then it is called as an invisible watermarking. In this paper, we are using the LSB, SS (Spread Spectrum) and DWT technique for embedding the information into the video and also work on the rational distortion. Today distortion is the biggest problem. This distortion can be destroyed the hide information. The reason of distortion is transmission channel, hackers, viruses etc. In my proposed work, we are working on the rational 6th order model distortion. We are finding the PSNR, SSIM (Structural similarity index measure), Correlation, BER (Bit Error Rate), MSE (Mean Square Error) parameters for the distorted watermarked video and also detects the watermark (hide) information from the distorted watermarked video.

Digital Watermarking Of Medical(DICOM) ImagesPrashant Singh
This project addresses authenticity and integrity of medical images using watermarking. Watermarking can be seen as an additional tool for security measures. As the medical tradition is very strict with the quality of biomedical images, the watermarking method must be reversible or if not, region of Interest (ROI) needs to be defined and left intact. Watermarking should also serve as an integrity control and should be able to authenticate the medical image.

A Quick Glance over the Digital Watermarkingijsrd.com
Digital watermarking is a process for modifying physical or electronic media to embed a machine-readable code into the media. The media may be modified such that the embedded code is imperceptible or nearly imperceptible to the user, yet may be detected through an automated detection process. Watermarking is the art of imperceptibly embedding a message into a work. More than 700 years ago in Fabriano (Italy), paper watermarks appeared in handmade paper, in order to identify its provenance, format, and quality. In this context, the watermark is a kind of invisible signature that allows identifying the creator or the owner of a document, and to detect possible copyright violations, and especially non-authorized copying [1]. More recently, different watermarking techniques and strategies have been proposed in order to solve a number of problems, ranging from the detection of content manipulations, to information hiding (steganography), to document usage tracing. In particular, the insertion of multiple watermarks to trace a document during its lifecycle is a very interesting and challenging application [1]. The main property of the proposed method is that it allows the insertion of multiple watermarks by different users, who sequentially come into play one after the other and do not need any extra information besides the public keys. This characteristic makes the present approach more attractive than previously available solutions.
Digital watermarking has been proposed as a solution to the problem of copyright protection of
multimedia documents in networked environments. There are two important issues that watermarking
algorithms need to address. First, watermarking schemes are required to provide trustworthy evidence for
protecting rightful ownership. Second, good watermarking schemes should satisfy the requirement of
robustness and resist distortions due to common image manipulations (such as filtering, compression,
etc.). In this paper, a watermarking algorithm is proposed based on the Discrete Wavelet Transform
(DWT), Fractional Fourier Transform (FrFT) and Singular value decomposition (SVD). Analysis and
experimental results show that the proposed watermarking method performs well in both security and
robustness.
A Survey on Features Combination for Image WatermarkingEditor IJMTER
As the internet users are increasing day by day it is easy to transfer digital data. By this new
problem of data piracy is increasing. For this different methods of watermarking are developed for
protecting the digital data like video, audio, image, etc. Out of these many researcher are working on
image watermarking field from last few decades. This paper focus on the image watermarking features
combination with various techniques which are broadly categorized into spatial and frequency domain.
Many features are studied with their different requirement and functionality. It has been observed that
most of the researcher combines many features for achieving the prior goal of the watermark that is to
embed watermark and extract from the carrier image in presence of different attack.
Blind image watermarking scheme based on lowest energy contourlet transform c...nooriasukmaningtyas
The widespread of global internet has led to the need for developing new
methods of protecting multimedia information from exploitation, alteration
or forgery, illegal distribution, and manipulation. An attacker is quickly and
illegally distributing or changing multimedia information by using various
means of computer technology. For detecting this manipulation, this paper
suggests blind watermark image inside a host image for observing in the
receiver. If the watermark image was retrieved, then the host image was not
attacked or manipulated. While if not retrieved, in this case, the image was
attacked. The proposed method is depending on a decomposition of the host
image using lowest energy sub-bands of contourlet transform (4-levels), with
scrambling by ikeda map of the watermark image, and selecting new
positions by modified arnold cat map. This will produce more security and
safety, as well as provide more difficulty or prevent hacking. The obtained
results confirm the robustness against attacks and more effectiveness of the
presented scheme compared with the other similar works. Also, using lowest
energy sub-bands will expand area of embedding and this part will be
considered in the future works with the color images.
A New Technique to Digital Image Watermarking Using DWT for Real Time Applica...IJERA Editor
Digital watermarking is an essential technique to add hidden copyright notices or secret messages to digital audio, image, or image forms. In this paper we introduce a new approach for digital image watermarking for real time applications. We have successfully implemented the digital watermarking technique on digital images based on 2-level Discrete Wavelet Transform and compared the performance of the proposed method with Level-1 and Level-2 and Level-3 Discrete Wavelet Transform using the parameter peak signal to noise ratio. To make the watermark robust and to preserve visual significant information a 2-Level Discrete wavelet transform used as transformation domain for both secret image and original image. The watermark is embedded in the original image using Alpha blending technique and implemented using Matlab Simulink.
A New Watermarking Approach Based on Combination of Reversible Watermarking a...CSCJournals
Image watermarking can be defined as a technique that allows insertion of imperceptible and indelible digital data into an image. In addition to its initial application which is the copyright, watermarking can be used in other fields, particularly in the medical field in order to contribute to secure images shared on the network for telemedicine applications. In this report we study some watermarking methods and the comparison result of their combination, the first one is based on the CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) in DWT and spatial domain and its aim is to verify the image authenticity whereas the second one is the reversible watermarking (the least significant bits LSB and cryptography tools) and the reversible carte mapping RCM its objective is to check the integrity of the image and to keep the Confidentiality of the patient data. A new scheme of watermarking is the combination of the reversible watermarking method based on LSB and cryptography tools and the method of CDMA in spatial and DWT domain to verify the three security properties Integrity, Authenticity and confidentiality of medical data and patient information .In the end ,we made a comparison between these methods within the parameters of quality of medical images. Initially, an in-depth study on the characteristics of medical images would contribute to improve these methods to mitigate their limits and to optimize the results. Tests were done on IRM kind of medical images and the quality measurements have been done on the watermarked image to verify that this technique does not lead to a wrong diagnostic. The robustness of the watermarked images against attacks has been verified on the parameters of PSNR, SNR, MSE and MAE which the experimental result demonstrated that the proposed algorithm is good and robust in DWT than in spatial domain.
A Wavelet Based Hybrid SVD Algorithm for Digital Image Watermarkingsipij
In this paper we propose a hybrid image watermarking algorithm which satisfies both imperceptibility and robustness requirements. Our proposed work provide an optimum solution by using singular values of Wavelet Transformation’s HL and LH sub bands to embed watermark. Further to increase and control the strength of the watermark, we use a scale factor. An optimal watermark embedding method is developed to achieve minimum watermarking distortion. A secret embedding key is designed to securely embed the fragile watermarks so that the new method is robust to counterfeiting, even when the malicious attackers are fully aware of the watermark embedding algorithm. Experimental results are provided in terms of peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), normalized cross correlation (NCC) and gain factor to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Image operations such as JPEG compression from malicious image attacks and, thus, can be used for semi-fragile watermarking.
Cars are a very important part of this modern world because they give luxury and comfort. Even
though they are comfortable, some problems always keep arising on the safety side. After a lot of research they
rectified certain problems using air bags, auto parking, turbo charger, pedal shift…, etc.
And now we are going to discuss about one such problem that arises on the safety side. An unsuspected
accident occurs when people smash their fingers in between the car doors. Due to this kind of accident around
120,000 people are injured every year. But this was not taken as a very major safety concern for the customer.
To avoid this kind accident due to car doors, we are introducing “SAFETY DOOR LOCK SYSTEM”
with the help of “HYDRAULIC PISTON AND IR SENSORS”.
The major working process of the “SAFETY DOOR LOCK SYSTEM”is, when a person places his/her
hand or fingers in the gap between the door and the outer panel, at the time when the closing action of the door
takes place, the Sensors start to transmit the Infra Red Rays to the Receivers at the
other end, and so even if someone closes the door without anybody‟s knowledge the hydraulic piston will
automatically come out and stop the door from closing and prevent the person from the unsuspected accident
and minor injuries by the car door and ensure maximum safety to the customer.
Extrusion can be defined as the process of subjecting a material to compression so that it is forced to
flow through an opening of a die and takes the shape of the hole. Multi-hole extrusion is the process of
extruding the products through a die having more than one hole. Multi-hole extrusion increases the production
rate and reduces the cost of production. In this study the ram force has calculated experimentally for single hole
and multi-hole extrusion. The comparison of ram forces between the single hole and multi-hole extrusion
provides the inverse relation between the numbers of holes in a die and ram force. The experimental lengths of
the extruded products through the various holes of multi-hole die are different. It indicates that the flow pattern
is dependent on the material behavior. The micro-hardness test has done for the extruded products of lead
through multi-hole die. It is observed that the hardness of the extruded lead products from the central hole is
found to be more than that of the products extruded from other holes. The study suggests that multi-hole
extrusion can be used for obtaining the extruded products of lead with varying hardness. The micro-structure
study has done for the lead material before and after extrusion. It is observed that the size of grains of lead
material after extrusion is smaller than the original lead.
Analysis of Agile and Multi-Agent Based Process Scheduling Modelirjes
As an answer of long growing frustration of waterfall Software development life cycle concepts,
agile software development concept was evolved in 90’s. The most popular agile methodologies is the Extreme
Programming (XP). Most software companies nowadays aim to produce efficient, flexible and valuable
Software in short time period with minimal costs, and within unstable, changing environments. This complex
problem can be modeled as a multi-agent based system, where agents negotiate resources. Agents can be used to
represent projects and resources. Crucial for the multi-agent based system in project scheduling model, is the
availability of an effective algorithm for prioritizing and scheduling of task. To evaluate the models, simulations
were carried out with real life and several generated data sets. The developed model (Multi-agent based System)
provides an optimized and flexible agile process scheduling and reduces overheads in the software process as it
responds quickly to changing requirements without excessive work in project scheduling.
Effects of Cutting Tool Parameters on Surface Roughnessirjes
This paper presents of the influence on surface roughness of Co28Cr6Mo medical alloy machined
on a CNC lathe based on cutting parameters (rotational speed, feed rate, depth of cut and nose radius).The
influences of cutting parameters have been presented in graphical form for understanding. To achieve the
minimum surface roughness, the optimum values obtained for rpm, feed rate, depth of cut and nose radius were
respectively, 318 rpm, 0,1 mm/rev, 0,7 mm and 0,8 mm. Maximum surface roughness has been revealed the
values obtained for rpm, feed rate, depth of cut and nose radius were respectively, 318 rpm, 0,25 mm/rev, 0,9
mm and 0,4 mm.
Possible limits of accuracy in measurement of fundamental physical constantsirjes
The measurement uncertainties of Fundamental Physical Constants should take into account all
possible and most influencing factors. One from them is the finiteness of the model that causes the existence of
a-priori error. The proposed formula for calculation of this error provides a comparison of its value with the
actual experimental measurement error that cannot be done an arbitrarily small. According to the suggested
approach, the error of the researched Fundamental Physical Constant, measured in conventional field studies,
will always be higher than the error caused by the finite number of dimensional recorded variables of physicalmathematical
models. Examples of practical application of the considered concept for measurement of fine
structure constant, speed of light and Newtonian constant of gravitation are discussed.
Performance Comparison of Energy Detection Based Spectrum Sensing for Cogniti...irjes
With the rapid deployment of new wireless devices and applications, the last decade has witnessed a growing
demand for wireless radio spectrum. However, the policy of fixed spectrum assignment produces a bottleneck for more
efficient spectrum utilization, such that a great portion of the licensed spectrum is severely under-utilized. So the concept of
cognitive radio was introduced to address this issue.The inefficient usage of the limited spectrum necessitates the
development of dynamic spectrum access techniques, where users who have no spectrum licenses, also known as secondary
users, are allowed to use the temporarily unused licensed spectrum. For this purpose we have to know the presence or
absence of primary users for spectrum usage. So spectrums sensing is one of the major requirements of cognitive radio.Many
spectrum sensing techniques have been developed to sense the presence or absence of a licensed user. This paper evaluates
the performance of the energy detection based spectrum sensing technique in noisy and fading environments.The
performance of the energy detection technique will be evaluated by use of Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curves
over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and fading channels.

same dimensions are analyzed and designed for wind zones (wind zone 2, wind zone 3, wind zone 4 and wind
zone 5) by using STAAD Pro V8i. The study deals with the comparative study of both conventional and preengineered

Flip bifurcation and chaos control in discrete-time Prey-predator model irjes
The dynamics of discrete-time prey-predator model are investigated. The result indicates that the
model undergo a flip bifurcation which found by using center manifold theorem and bifurcation theory.
Numerical simulation not only illustrate our results, but also exhibit the complex dynamic behavior, such as the
periodic doubling in period-2, -4 -8, quasi- periodic orbits and chaotic set. Finally, the feedback control method
is used to stabilize chaotic orbits at an unstable interior point.
Energy Awareness and the Role of “Critical Mass” In Smart Citiesirjes
A Smart City could be depicted as a place, logical and physical, in which a crowd of heterogeneous
entities is related in time and space through different types of interactions. Any type of entity, whether it is a
device or a person, clustered in communities, becomes a source of context-based data.
Energy awareness is able to drive the process of bringing our society to limit energy waste and to optimize
usage of available resources, causing a strong environmental and social impact. Then, following social network
analysis methodologies related to the dynamics of complex systems, it is possible to find out, emergent and
sometimes hidden new habits of electricity usage. Through an initial Critical Mass, involving a multitude of
consumers, each related to more contexts, we evaluate the triggering and spreading of a collective attitude. To
this aim, in this paper, we propose a novel analytical model defining a new concept of critical mass, which
includes centrality measures both in a single layer and in a multilayer social network.
A Firefly Algorithm for Optimizing Spur Gear Parameters Under Non-Lubricated ...irjes
Firefly algorithm is one of the emerging evolutionary approaches for complex and non-linear
optimization problems. It is inspired by natural firefly‟s behavior such as movement of fireflies based on
brightness and by overcoming the constraints such as light absorption, obstacles, distance, etc. In this research,
firefly‟s movement had been simulated computationally to identify the best parameters for spur gear pair by
considering the design and manufacturing constraints. The proposed algorithm was tested with the traditional
design parameters and found the results are at par in less computational time by satisfying the constraints.
The Effect of Orientation of Vortex Generators on Aerodynamic Drag Reduction ...irjes
One of the main reasons for the aerodynamic drag in automotive vehicles is the flow separation
near the vehicle’s rear end. To delay this flow separation, vortex generators are used in recent vehicles. The
vortex generators are commonly used in aircrafts to prevent flow separation. Even though vortex generators
themselves create drag, but they also reduce drag by delaying flow separation at downstream. The overall effect
of vortex generators is more beneficial and proved by experimentation. The effect depends on the shape,size and
orientation of vortex generators. Hence optimized shape with proper orientation is essential for getting better
results.This paper presents the effect of vortex generators at different orientation to the flow field and the
mechanism by which these effects takes place.
An Assessment of The Relationship Between The Availability of Financial Resou...irjes
The availability of financial resources is an important element in impacting the success of a planning
process for an effective physical planning. The extent to which however, they are articulated in the process
remained elusive both in scholarly and public discourse. The objective of this study wastherefore, to examine
the extent to which financial resources affect physical planning. In doing so, the study examinedwhether
financial resources were adequate or not to facilitate planning processes in Paidha. According to the study
findings,budget prioritization and ceilings are still a challenge in Paidha Town Council. This is partly due
limited level of knowledge of physical planning among the officials of Paidha Town Council. As a result, there
were no dedicated budget line for routine inspection of physical development plan compliance and enforcement
tools in Paidha. In conclusion, in addressing uncoordinated patterns of physical development that characterize
Uganda‟s urban centres, a critical starting point ought to be the analysis of physical planning process. The
research of this kind is not only significant to other emerging urban centres facing poor a road network,
mushrooming informal settlements and poor social services including poor pattern of residential and commercial
developments but also to all institutions that are involved in planning these towns. Knowing the extent of need
for financial influences in planning may assist local authorities to take the processes of planning seriously which
will help enhance the sustainable development of emerging urban centres including Paidha.

in Surabaya city based on the preferences and choice theory.
Type of survey research is cross sectional approach, the population is mothers who have children aged 1-
12 months in Surabaya. The large sample of 250 mothers who have children aged 1-12 months in 2013 is taken
by simple random sampling technique. Variables of the research are the preference elements and steps, choice
elements and steps, utilization of antenatal care and delivery place. Data were collected through questionnaires
and secondary data were then analyzed with descriptive statistics in the form of a frequency distribution, shown
by the schematic diagram.
The result showed that the preference elements and steps showed almost half (42.9%) desire to give birth
in a health care because of information got from someone else, while the choice element and step shows the
bulk (57.1%) of the criteria of delivery place chosen is a safe, comfortable and cheap delivery place, the labor
place which is the main choice most (57.1%) is cheap, comfortable, close.
Conclusion of the research based on the preferences and choice theory can be found three (3) new
theories, they are preferences become choice, preferences do not become choice, choice is preceded by
preferences

ABSTRACT : Digital watermarking is on high demand for the contained protection which is the efficient way
to protect the digital properties recently. This paper review several techniques about digital
watermarking(visible as well as invisible) and a new approach of lossless reversible watermarking techniques
with robust security is explained. It consists of mathematical model. It is a process of embedding information in
digital signal in a such way that anyone unable easily to remove it. However, most of the scheme do not support
for removing visible watermark. Experimental expected result shows a good result than other methods
mathematically.
Keywords - Watermarking, Lossless visible Watermark, Mathematical model, Extraction of watermark,
visible.
I INTRODUCTION
Watermarking alters the original data I with the watermark data W such that the original image and the
watermark can be recovered later. Some factors related to watermarking are robustness, security, transparency,
complexity and capacity and some of these parameters are mutually exclusive tradeoffs. Robustness is related to
the reliability of watermark detection after it has been processed through various signal-processing operations.
Security deals with the difficulty of removing the watermark. A scheme is considered secure if the knowledge of
the embedding algorithm does not help in detecting the hidden data bits. Capacity relates to the amount of
information that can be embedded in a given cover object. It is important for the watermarked image to be
resistant to common image operations to ensure that the hidden information is still retrievable after such
alterations. Methods of the second type, on the other hand, yield visible watermarks which are generally clearly
visible after common image operations are applied.
In addition, visible watermarks convey ownership information directly on the media and can deter attempts of
copyright violations. Embedding of watermarks, either visible or invisible, degrade the quality of the host media
in general. A group of techniques, named reversible watermarking, allow legitimate users to remove the
embedded watermark and restore the original content as needed. However, not all reversible watermarking
techniques guarantee lossless image recovery, which means that the recovered image is identical to the original,
pixel by pixel. Lossless recovery is important in many applications where serious concerns about image quality
arise. Some examples include forensics, medical image analysis, historical art imaging, or military applications.
Compared with their invisible counterparts, there are relatively few mentions of lossless visible watermarking in
the literature.
II LITERATURE REVIEW
Several lossless invisible watermarking techniques have been proposed in the past. In circular
interpretation of bijective transformations . The histograms of groups of pixels are mapped to a circle. The
transform is chosen so as to provoke the rotation of the histograms around the circle. The relative orientation of
the histograms of two groups of pixels conveys one bit of information. The retrieval of the embedded
information and, consequently, the reversibility process are not altered by wrapped around pixels. Additionally,
the visual quality of the watermarked images does not suffer from the classic “salt-and-pepper” artifact. Finally,
the extraction of the complete embedded message is still possible after alteration of the watermarked image.
This robustness permits conveying embedded information from lossless to lossy environments.[6].For
difference-expansion (DE)-based reversible data hiding, the embedded bit-stream mainly consists of two parts:
one part that conveys the secret message and the other part that contains embedding information, including the
2-D binary (overflow) location map and the header file. The first part is the payload while the second part is the
auxiliary information package for blind detection. To increase embedding capacity, we have to make the size of
the second part as small as possible. However, the compressibility of the overflow location map is still
undesirable in some image types they focus on improving the overflow location map. They design a new
embedding scheme that helps them to construct an efficient payload-dependent overflow location map. Such an
overflow location map has good compressibility. Their accurate capacity control capability also reduces
unnecessary alteration to the image. Under the same image quality, the algorithm often has larger embedding

capacity. It performs well in different types of images, including those where other algorithms often have
difficulty in acquiring good embedding capacity and high image quality[7].
Mohanty et al. [2] proposed a visible watermarking technique in the discrete cosine transform (DCT)
domain. Their scheme modifies each DCT coefficient by C_ = αC + βW, where C and W are the DCT
coefficients of original image and watermark, respectively. The parameters α and β are determined by
exploiting the texture sensitivity of human visual model (HVS). Huang [5] proposed a visible watermarking
scheme with discrete wavelet transform (DWT). The intensity of the watermark in different regions of the
image are varied depending on the underlying content of the image and humans’ sensitivity to the spatial
frequency. However, these two schemes are not reversible. Hu et al. [4 proposed a removable visible
watermarking. The scheme uses a key to determine the unchanged coefficients, and the pixel-wise varying
parameters of the embedder are calculated from those unchanged coefficients. Thus, the user with the correct
key in the receiver end can recalculate the parameters to remove the visible watermark from the watermarked
image. However, the scheme cannot perfectly recover the original image due to rounding error caused by
wavelet transform. In this paper Novel reversible visible watermarking scheme which meets the three major
requirements of visibility, transparency and robustness for visible Watermarking . It additionally provides the
capability that only the user with correct key can lossless restores the original image from the visible
watermarked image. The variance of the key compromises between the transparency of visible Watermarked
image and robustness . Users with the wrong key cannot successfully remove the visible watermark.[3]
A next approach is to manipulate a group of pixels as a unit to embed a bit of information .Although
one may use lossless invisible techniques to embed removable visible watermarks, the low embedding
capacities of these techniques hinder the possibility of implanting large-sized visible watermarks into host
media. As to lossless visible watermarking, the most common approach is to embed a monochrome watermark
using deterministic and reversible mappings of pixel values or DCT coefficients in the watermark region.
Another approach is to rotate consecutive watermark pixels to embed a visible watermark. One advantage of
these approaches is that watermarks of arbitrary sizes can be embedded into any host image. However, only
binary visible watermarks can be embedded using these approaches, which is too restrictive since most
company logos are colorful. In this paper, a new method for lossless visible watermarking is proposed by using
appropriate compound mappings that allow mapped values to be controllable. The mappings are proved to be
reversible for lossless recovery of the original image. The approach is generic, leading to the possibility of
embedding different types of visible watermarks into cover images. Two applications of the proposed method
are demonstrated, where opaque monochrome watermarks and no uniformly translucent full-color ones are
respectively embedded into color images. More specific compound mappings are also created and proved to be
able to yield visually more distinctive visible watermarks in the watermarked image.
III SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
IV MATHEMATICAL MODEL
Irrespective of the strict system and security requirements, we start with a basic watermarking model
having three basic functions: Watermark Generation(G), Watermark Embedding(E), and Extraction(X). To
denote different data within this context, plain letters indicate the original version, and respective single bar
letter and tilde letter indicates their watermarked and estimated version accordingly, where applicable. These
basic functions do the following in digital image watermarking: Watermarking Generation(G) takes a original
image data(i) and Other image data(j) (e.g., logo) as input and yield a watermark(w), Watermark Embedding
(E) takes a original image-data(i), embedding key(e) and yields a watermarked image ( ) as output.
Watermark Extraction (X) takes a watermarked image-data ( ) and Extraction key and yields the original

3. Lossless Reversible Visible Watermarking
image-data ( ) and other image data( ) as outputs . Thus, a basic watermarking scheme for digital images, in
general, can be defined as a 5-tuple ( ,G,W,E,X ) such that:
(1) , the image-data space, is a set of Z+ and its each element is a function of co-ordinates such that f(x,y) for
2D-space, where x Є Z+, y Є Z+, z ЄZ+. Here, Z+ is the set of positive integer, Z+ = {|a| >= 0 : a Є Z}. An
element of image data space is called an image of a*b size for 2D-space, where, a Є Z+ b ЄZ+, and x = {
1,2,3,…. a}, y = {1,2,3……b}, I ,J, and are subset of , where
a)I is the set of original unwatermarked image-data, i.e I
b)J is the set of other image-data used for watermark generation, i.e., (J : J ∩ I = Ø)
c) is the set of watermarked image-data, i.e
d) is the set of estimated original image-data, i.e.,
e) is the set of estimated other image-data, i.e ( )
(2)G is a function G: I * J -> W that is used for watermark generation.
(3)E is a function E:I * W -> that is used for watermark embedding.
(4)X is a function X: * i -> * {┴) that is used for watermark Extraction, indicates a failure. A
watermark(W) is valid if and only if it is obtained from valid inputs,(I,J) and valid watermark generation
function such that, G : I * J -> W. Similarly, a watermarked image ( ) is valid if and only if is obtained from
valid inputs,(I,W) and valid watermark embedding function (E) such that E : I * W -> . (More formally, we
can define a digital image watermarking system to be complete, if the following is true: (I ,j) Є I * J ( , )
Є * | ≈i, ≈j : X(E(i,(G(i, j ))) = ( , ).Here, ≈ i implies that is perceptually similar to i. The
same applies to ≈ j.
V IMPLEMENTATION
A. Project Methods
Watermarking Generation(G) takes a original image data(i) and Other image data(j) (e.g., logo) as
input and yield a watermark(w), Watermark Embedding (E) takes a original image-data(i), embedding key(e)
and yields a watermarked image ( ) as output. Watermark Extraction (X) takes a watermarked image-data ( )
and Extraction key and yields the original image-data ( ) and other image data ( ) as outputs. In watermark
generation original image data is set P= {p1,p2,….pn) and Watermark image data set is mapped as Q
=(q1,q2,…..qn)
(1)The compound mapping described by (1) is indeed reversible, can be derived
exactly from using the following formula:

B. Test cases(Evaluation Parameters)
1) Visibility A watermarking system is called visible (or perceptible), if the embedding function(E) embeds a
given watermark (w Є W) in an image (i ЄI) such that the watermark (w Є W ) at least noticeably appears on
the watermarked image,( Є ). That is: (i, w) Є I * W:| Ee (I,w) – i|= | ≈w.
2) Blindness A watermarking system is called blind (or oblivious) if the extraction (X) function takes the
original image (I) and watermark (W) whichever applies as input. Contrariwise, the watermarking system is
called non-blind (or non-oblivious or informed) if functions X, take I and W, where appropriate as input.
Otherwise, the watermarking system is called semi-blind. Thus, for non-blind watermarking system, Xx: * I *
- > U {┴} and for blind watermarking system: Xx: * - > U {┴) Similarly, for semi-blind
watermarking, Xx: * -> * U{┴} is true.
VI EXPERIMENTAL RESULT
Implementation proposed that an provably allow mapped values to always be close to the desired
watermark if color estimates are accurate. Also described are pseudo randomization techniques ,which can
prevent illicit recoveries of original images without correct input keys.
Original Recovered
VII CONCLUSION
In this paper a new method for reversible visible Water marking with lossless image recovery
capability has been proposed. The method uses one-to-one compound mappings that can map image pixel
values to those of the desired visible watermarks .mathematically prove the reversibility of the compound
mappings for lossless reversible visible watermarking .The compound mappings allow different types of visible
watermarks to be embedded.
