Rohit M Thanki, Rahul K Kher, Divyang D Vyas
Abstract Digital watermarking is the process of inserting a digital signal of a defined pattern into digital data. This is used to identify the owner of the work, to authenticate the content, to trace illegal copies of the work and other similar purposes. This paper provides new techniques of hiding color watermark into color image. The analysis of this technique is taken in term of different value of power of noise of Gaussian Noise. This paper shows how different color watermark hide in color image in spatial domain perform for different values noise. This technique shows visible watermarking scheme.

good watermark for embedding, the original watermark is permuted to obtain a White Gaussian Noise signal, which uncorrelated to the original watermark.

I. INTRODUCTION HE watermark is a signal embedded into the host media to be protected, such as an image or audio or video. It contains useful certifiable information for the owner of the host media, such as producer's name, company logo, etc; the watermark can be detected or extracted later to make an assertion about the host media. There are two important properties of a watermark; the first is that the watermark embedding should not alter the quality and visually of the host image and it should be perceptually invisible. The second property is robustness with respect to image distortions. This means that the watermark is difficult for an attacker to remove and it should be also robust to common image processing and geometric operations, such as filtering, resizing, cropping and image compression [1, 4]. II. COLOR IMAGE WATERMARKING In our scheme, a different color watermark image is used as the original watermark W of size pixels 512*512, 256*256 and128*128 which is shown in fig. 1. In order to construct a

Read and determine size of watermark image. Resize the watermark image into the cover image. Generate the White Gaussian Noise signal using value of power of noise and size of cover image. Add the color cover image with multiple of WGN signal and watermark image using below equation:

Where Iw(x,y) = watermarked image, I(x,y) = cover image, w(x,y) = watermark image Convert watermarked image into uint8 and write the watermarked image and display the color watermarked image. B. The algorithm of the recover color watermark into the Color Cover Image: Generate the White Gaussian Noise signal using value of power of noise and size of cover image. Set the value of Power of Noise. Read and determine size of watermarked image. Read and determine size of cover image. Read and determine size of watermark image. Generate the white Gaussian Noise signal using value of power of noise and size of cover image. Subtract the color watermarked image with multiple of WGN signal and cover image using below equation:

Where Iw(x,y) = watermarked image, I(x,y) = cover image, w(x,y) = watermark image Generate the White Gaussian Noise signal using value of power of noise and size of cover image. III. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS As described color image watermarking, we are hide color watermark into color cover image as per different power of white Gaussian noise. The problem is that when hide color watermark or information in color image, we get visible watermarked image because using white Gaussian noise for hiding. The analysis of watermarking scheme using White Gaussian Noise in different power of noise signal in term of dB watts for hiding of color watermark into color cover image is given below and show how embed color watermark or message image into color image and what effect taken place in HVS of watermarked image and get results like PSNR, NCC, NAE and MSE. This process extended up to N users [7].

IV. CONCLUSION

The watermarking using White Gaussian noise is used for hiding color watermark into color cover image is one visible watermarking method. The results of this method are good for negative value of WGN power in term of recover color watermark. Adding WGN is clearly visible in the watermarked images and color watermarks are recovered with much deterioration. This fact is evident from the average PSNR and MSE values of 67.65 dB and 1059.22, respectively, for this scheme.
