Digital Watermarking has evolved as one of the latest technologies for digital media copyright protection. Watermarking of images can be done in many ways and one of the proposed algorithms for image watermarking is by utilizing Fuzzy Logic. It is similar to the concept of a Fuzzy set, each element can be defined by an ordered pair, in which one is the value and other is the membership function value. Fuzzy logic systems can explain inaccurate information and explain their decisions. Fuzzy inference system is the simplest way of performing Fuzzy Logic. In the proposed method, three Fuzzy inference models are used to generate the weighing factor for embedding the watermark and input to the Fuzzy Inference System is taken from the Human Visual System model. The Performance measures used in the Process are Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Structural Similarity Index (SSIM), Normalized Cross Correlation (NCC) and Bit Error Ratio (BER). The Proposed algorithm is immune to various Image Processing attacks.

“…BTC is first proposed by Delp and Mitchell in 1979 for data compression [40]. As a simple and fast lossy compression technique, BTC has been widely employed in many applications such as image compression, image watermarking, image retrieval, and so on [41][42][43][44]. It performs standard moments preserving quantization during image coding so that it can achieve both acceptable image quality and low storage space.…”

Advances in cloud computing have aroused many researchers' interest in privacy-preserving feature extraction over outsourced multimedia data, especially private image data. Since block truncation coding (BTC) is known as a simple and efficient technology for image compression, this paper focuses on privacy-preserving feature extraction in BTC compressed domain. We propose a privacy-preserving computation of BTC feature extraction over massive encrypted images (also called PPBTC). First, all images are uploaded to the cloud after encryption. The privacy-preserving image encryption process consists of block permutation, pixel diffusion, and a bit-plane random shift. BTC features remain unchanged after encryption and the cloud server can directly extract BTC features from the encrypted images. Some analyses and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed privacy-preserving feature extraction scheme for BTCcompressed images is efficient and secure, and it can be applied to secure image computation applications in cloud computing. INDEX TERMS Feature extraction, privacy-preserving, block truncation coding, homomorphic encryption.

With the rapid access convenience of content brought by 5G technology, the integrity protection of content becomes more important. The reversible visible watermarking algorithm has attracted more attention due to its effective content protection. In this paper, a novel improved reversible visible image watermarking scheme based on gradient-weighted class activation mapping (Grad-CAM) and the just noticeable difference (JND) model has been presented. The proposed region of interest (ROI) selection strategy is used to locate the main protected body of images for watermark embedding. Divide the watermark and ROI into nonoverlapping blocks in the same way and then embed the classified two types of watermark blocks into corresponding ROI blocks with the JND model. The optimal bit positions for watermark embedding can be selected adaptively with JND threshold and achieve the tradeoff between the watermark visibility and watermarked image quality. For lossless image recovery and watermark extraction, the recovery information is reversibly hidden into watermarked image. In the experiments, the same process of grayscale images is used to each channel separately for color images watermarking. Besides, there are six aspects in this paper to estimate the proposed scheme; with the comparison to other reversible visible watermarking schemes, experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed scheme.
