Blind image watermarking technique for digital phone camera

In today's modern world, digital phone cameras are common daily gadgets that most people have and use. In the event of a traffic accident, a fire accident, or a criminal act, anyone will be able to capture these important moments and use authentic photographs for evidence purposes. Digital watermarking is able to ensure that the digital photographs taken are authentic and indeed taken from a particular phone camera. This paper presents a blind image watermarking technique for digital phone camera. This method is based on singular value decomposition (SVD) and wavelet decomposition. Experimental results show that the proposed technique performs well in security and robustness against JPEG compression.
