Watermarking Mobile Phone Color Images with Reed Solomon Error Correction Code

AIM: The main aim of the project is to design and implement Watermarking Mobile Phone Color Images with Reed Solomon Error Correction Code. A S!RAC!: This paper proposes a new watermarking scheme for embedding phone numbers into color images captured by a mobile phone camera. Firstly, the phone number digits are transformed into binary format and the checksum is added as extra bits. Then the generated binary vector is encoded using Reed Solomon error correction code and the generated se uence is transformed into binary matrix. This generated binary matrix, which is the watermark, is inserted in one of the !"T coefficients of the #x# block of the cover color image. The distortion caused by the watermarking is assessed by using the $S%R and SS&'. The robustness of the scheme is assessed by using (Stirmark) software package. The new algorithm offered better performance to the case without using error correction codes and survived *$+, compression and different -x- two dimensional filtering.

 The use of RS +""4s for watermarking mobile phone captured images was investigated. The low fre uency component of the !"T is used to embed the phone number. 5oth RS and 5"6 +""s produce the same results when the watermarked image is attacked. The proposed watermarking algorithms have shown to be resistant mainly to *$+, compression, -x- 1! ,aussian and low pass filtering, -x- median filtering and some rescaling attacks.
