Watermarking Application Using Bit Plane Allocation

Abstract

This paper studies about bit plane watermarking. The watermarking has been studied to protect digital image against illegal copyright action. Generally speaking, adding watermarking symbol in least significant bit (LSB) is desirable. However, sometimes watermarking information in LSB can be lost during the compression and transmission. Therefore, well designed watermarking technique is necessary. In this paper, we show how to design watermarking application, and compare watermarking performance on different bit plane. Two datasets were used; they are Kodak and McM datasets.
