Abstract :
Watermark casting on digital images is an important problem since it affects many aspects of the information market. We propose a method for casting digital watermarks on images, and we analyze its effectiveness. The satisfaction of some basic demands in this area is examined, and a method for producing digital watermarks is proposed. Moreover, issues like immunity to subsampling and image-dependent watermarks are examined, and simulation results are provided for the verification of the above-mentioned topics
