A Novel Blind Watermarking Strategy for Rightful Ownership Validation in Digital Imagery

The quick growth of the network has made the protection of digital content a critical concern.Digital Rights Management (DRM) systems aim to safeguard valuable assets and regulate their distribution.Among these, digital watermarking serves as an effective technique to embed ownership information into images for copyright enforcement.This paper presents a novel innovative invisible and blind watermarking scheme that embeds a binary watermark into non-overlapping 2 2 blocks of the actual host image.The extraction process requires only the watermarked image, eliminating the need for the original or its features.Experimental results validate the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed approach in defending against digital piracy.
