研究目的
To develop a robust and secure watermarking method for tele-health applications using LWT and DCT to embed signature and patient report watermarks into medical images for authentication and confidentiality.
研究成果
The proposed LWT-DCT based watermarking method is robust, secure, and low in computational complexity, making it suitable for tele-health applications. It provides high imperceptibility and capacity, outperforming previous techniques. Future work can focus on improving performance and extending to other multimedia types.
研究不足
The method's performance is affected by gain factor, watermark size, and noise variations. It may not be robust to all types of attacks, such as rotation which showed low NC values. Computational complexity, while low, could be further optimized.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The method uses LWT for decomposition due to its low memory and computational complexity, and DCT for transformation to embed watermarks. MD5 encryption and BCH error correction are applied for security and robustness.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Color medical images of size 512x512 from a medical database [18] are used as cover images. Watermark images are of size 64x64, and text watermarks of up to 80 characters are used.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
No specific equipment or materials are mentioned; the method is computational and uses software-based transforms and codes.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The embedding process involves converting RGB to YIQ color space, selecting Y component, decomposing with LWT up to 3rd level, transforming sub-bands with DCT, encrypting/encoding watermarks, embedding into DCT coefficients, and inverse transforms. Extraction reverses these steps.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Performance is evaluated using PSNR for imperceptibility, NC and BER for robustness, and comparisons with other methods.
