Prospects of Digital Watermarking in Providing SecurityReliability, and Privacy to Medical Images Subhrajit Sinha Roy, Abhishek Basu, Avik Chattopadhyay Ecti Transactions on Computer and Information Technology, 2023 Telemedicine is one of the most eminent terms used in the modern e-healthcare system. Digital medical image reports, along with electronic patient records, play a central role in diagnosis from distance. These reports need to be transmitted over an open communication channel with immense security and reliability, so that appropriate diagnosis can be performed. Moreover, the privacy of the patient is required to be preserved. Digital watermarking is one of the most conventional and suitable practices to serve all of these purposes. New challenges appear in the domain of watermarking with the advancement of digital signal processing; consequently, researchers are endowing more efforts to overcome these challenges. In this paper, a survey on medical image watermarking has been done, and the performance of a few state-of-the-art medical image watermarking techniques is compared. This work makes the researchers and the developers familiar with the recent trends, challenges, and scopes in this domain to facilitate them in finding out adequate research directions.
Image Watermarking Framework using Histogram Equalization and Visual Saliency Bishwabara Panda, Manas Ranjan Nayak, Pradeep Kumar Mallick, Abhishek Basu Ecti Transactions on Computer and Information Technology, 2023 This paper proposes a digital image watermarking strategy using histogram equalization and visual Saliency followed by LSB (Least Significant Bit) replacement for better imperceptibility with hiding capacity. With this technique, a saliency map determines lesser-observable parts of the original image and gradually implants with increasing amounts of information based on histogram equalization information. The output from saliency is the perceptible areas within an image, which is the most notable position from the perspective of vision; as a result, any changes made other than those areas will be less noticeable to viewers. Implementing the histogram method helps identify the areas where we can hide our secret information within that image. Using the LSB replacement technique, we adaptively insert our confidential data into the original image. Here, we use the saliency map to find out the non-salient region or less perceptible region to improve the imperceptibility, and the histogram equalization technique is used to maximize the hiding capacity within those less perceptible regions. So that we can improve the imperceptibility as well as the hiding capacity.
