Abstract

This paper proposes a blind watermarking algorithm for transferring medical data securely over the public network. A text watermark is embedded into (YCBCR) color channels of each medical video frame using Discrete Wavelet Transform and Principle Component Analysis. In our experiments, the watermark includes the electronic records for patients with three different sizes. Experimental results show high imperceptibility and robustness against attacks. The maximum PSNR achieved by the proposed technique is 61 dB while the least is 45 dB. The maximum number of characters embedded in the medical video frame is 146 characters.
