INTRODUCTION
With the growth of multimedia production and

broadcasting, security issues have been concerning for multimedia producers.

Watermarking has provided good means for

protecting multimedia against such illegal tasks.

But watermarking works have been dedicated to image

watermarking so far.

Watermarking
is a method of protecting multimedia data against

unauthorized copying It is a signal added to the original signal, which can later be extracted or detected. It is intended to be permanently embedded into the digital data watermark should not degrade the quality of the digital data.

Watermarking
Time domain
watermark bits are embedded directly

Frequency Domain
Embedded into the transform coefficients

REQUIREMENTS
Imperceptibility Payload

Security
Robustness

Watermarking algorithms aim at achieving suitable

trade-offs among these requirements.

DISCRETE WAVELET TRANSFORM

Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) decompose signals

into sub bands with smaller bandwidths and lower sample rates
basic computational step is a convolution followed by a

decimation.

Quantization Index Modulation

One of the common techniques used for watermarking Achieve provably good rate-distortion-robustness

performance to embed a 1 bit, the quantized value should be odd and to embed a 0 bit, the value should be even.

EMBEDDING ALGORITHM(DWT)
START Frames of 1024 samples are taken

Decompose into 5 levels using DWT

de1=d1d1T de2=d2d2T

ep=de1/de2

ep=sf*ep

Round ep to nearest odd no ep

NO

W=0

YES

Round ep to nearest even no ep

K=(ep/ep)

d2=kd2

Extraction Algorithm(DWT)
START Frames of 1024 samples are taken

Decompose into 5 levels using DWT

dew1=dw1dw1T dew2=dw2dw2T

epw=dew1/dew2

epw=sf*epw

epw=round(epw)

Extracted bit is 0

NO

ep=even

YES

Extracted bit is 1

SVD
SVD is an optimal matrix-decomposition technique

It packs maximum signal energy into a few coefficients

as possible
has the ability of adapting to variations have high payload

Dither-modulation(DM)
has good performance in terms of robustness,

imperceptibility, data payload and blind extraction

the host signal is dithered using watermark

information

Contd
The method is simple, has low complexity, and

achieves good rate-distortion-robustness trade-offs

Changing SVs slightly does not affect the signal quality
SVs do not change much after various types of

common signal processing operations

PROPOSED METHOD OF WATERMARKING

Uses both DWT and SVD for embedding and

extracting watermark
The second Detailed Coefficient of DWT is segmented

into blocks and SVD is taken on this cD2

CONCLUSION
By the proposed method we achieve infinite peak

signal to noise ratio for the watermarked signal.
