Abstract

The paper proposed a colour image watermarking scheme based on the encrypted watermark with QR code and DWT. In this research, we are working on the security enhancement of image watermarking technique with the latest QR codes. The proposed methodology making image watermarking system more secure and robust adding encryption of watermark being embedded in cover image. The advantages of our proposed methodology is the watermark is completely invisible in cover image as well as the encryption process is quite simple but robust in nature . The recovered watermark is about nearest the main watermark. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm enhances the anti- attack capability and the hidden nature of the image, increases the security of the watermarking detection, and has maximum robustness to cutting, random noise attack and JPEG compression.
