본 논문은 그레이 영상을 컬러영상으로 변환하고 컬러농도를 변환하여 출력영상을 향상시킨 연구이다. RGB 컬러성분을 추출하기 위한 의사컬러링은 2D고속웨이브릿 변환(FWT)에 의한 필터뱅크 재배열을 적용하고 후처리에서 각각의 모노컬러는 노이즈제거와 영상향상을 위해 이산 컬러농도변환(CIT)을 적용한다. 실험결과 출력영상은 일반 웨이블릿 변환 적용보다 PSNR 30dB이상 개선된다.

In this paper block based blind secure gray image watermarking scheme based on discrete wavelet transform and singular value decomposition is proposed. In devising the proposed scheme, security is given high importance along with other two requirements: robustness and imperceptibility. The use of discrete wavelet transform not only improves robustness but the selection of bands with high tolerance towards noise caused an improvement in terms of imperceptibility. The robustness further improved due to the involvement of singular vectors along with singular values in watermark embedding and extraction process. Finally, to achieve security, the selected DWT band is decomposed into smaller blocks and random blocks are chosen for modification. Furthermore, the elements of left and right singular vectors of selected blocks are chosen based on their dependence upon each other for watermark embedding. Various experiments using different images as host and watermark were conducted to examine and validate the proposed technique. Additionally, the proposed technique is tested against various attacks like compression, affine transformation, cropping, translation, X shearing, scaling, Y shearing, filtering, blurring, different kinds of noises, histogram equalization, rotation, etc. Lastly, the proposed technique is compared with state-of-the-art watermarking techniques and their comparison shows significant improvement of proposed scheme over existing techniques.
