Abstract
Image watermarking is the process of embedding secret information without degrading the quality original image. The main objective of watermarking is to provide copyright protection, content authentication, ownership identification and data integrity. In this paper we classify the robust, fragile and semi-fragile watermarking techniques based on different domains in which data is embedded. Detailed literature survey of various applications and existing watermarking techniques is done. To evaluate the performance of watermarking scheme Peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), Bit error rate (BER) and normalised correlation (NC) are described.
