Abstract
Proposed image watermarking scheme embeds identification watermark in certain selected regions where modifications introduced during the process of watermarking is less sensitive to HVS (Human Visual System). Edge detectors are used to estimate regions in the image where intensity changes rapidly. Modifications to such pixel will not attract the attention of human eyes. Watermark is thus integrated imperceptibly into the digital images. The proposed is a scheme for embedding a unique index number as watermark for content tracking and identification.
