Abstract
A blind color image watermarking using deep artificial neural network (DANN) in YCbCr color model has been proposed aiming at achieving fair trade-off between imperceptibility and robustness. In the proposed watermarking a random generated watermark of length 512 bit is used for the training purpose and original watermark of length 512 bits is used for the testing. Principal component analysis (PCA) is applied to select the best 10 features out of 18 statistical features. Binary classification is used for watermark extraction. It shows the average imperceptibility of 33.34 dB and average SSIM of 0.9860 for four images Lena, Peppers, Mandril and Jet. It performs well in terms of balancing the imperceptibility and robustness, for the threshold value 32. The proposed scheme takes 7.56 seconds for watermark embedding and extraction. It also shows good robustness against common image attacks including the combination of image attacks except the gaussian noise with intensity 0.06 and cropping 20% attacks. The experiment result shows that the proposed watermarking technique performs well against other technique.

Important Announcements


All the authors, conference coordinators, conveners, and guest editors kindly check their articles' originality before submitting them to IJCERT. If any material is found to be duplicate submission or sent to other journals when the content is in the process with IJCERT, fabricated data, cut and paste (plagiarized), at any stage of processing of material, IJCERT is bound to take the following actions.
1. Rejection of the article.
2. The author will be blocked for future communication with IJCERT if duplicate articles are submitted.
3. A letter regarding this will be posted to the Principal/Director of the Institution where the study was conducted.
4. A List of blacklisted authors will be shared among the Chief Editors of other prestigious Journals
We have been screening articles for plagiarism with a world-renowned tool: Turnitin However, it is only rejected if found plagiarized. This more stern action is being taken because of the illegal behavior of a handful of authors who have been involved in ethical misconduct. The Screening and making a decision on such articles costs colossal time and resources for the journal. It directly delays the process of genuine materials.
