Hiding Image by Using Contourlet Transform

Abstract

The goal of the paper is to provide a practical conceptual framework based on hiding of watermarks embedded within coefficients image disintegrated by contourlet transform, that is characterized by extra sustenance for the potential and actual security of the hiding methods, and strengthen distribution techniques of watermarking inside the cover image; thus this can be done through achieving a kind of merge between those techniques and others techniques of image processing. A case study approach was used to allow the algorithms of the recommended system (non-blind) through concealing the watermarking which is resulted in the possibility of altering the watermarking dimensions with the fixed cover measurements and reciprocally. Another important practical implication is that the quartet tried to divide the techniques into four sections before it has been embedded inside the cover-image then after they have been split up, they distribute them among the fragments of the watermark within the cover-image regarding the quartet try the method. The techniques of using the three suggested algorithms by employing the watermarks cover image of various dimensions displayed that, the correlation factor ratio preceding and succeeding the process of hiding of the cover-image has been exceeded 0.99%. The most striking outcome to emerge from the data is that the result of this research which is in the watermark measured before and after the process depending on the PSNR, SNR, MSE, NC.
