Abstract

This paper presents a novel non-blind watermarking algorithm using dual orthogonal complex contourlet transform. The dual orthogonal complex contourlet transform is preferred for watermarking because of its ability to capture the directional edges and contours superior to other transforms such as cosine transform, wavelet transform, etc. Digital image and video in their raw form require an enormous amount of storage capacity and the huge data systems also contain a lot of redundant information. Compression also increases the capacity of the communication channel. Image Compression using SPIHT Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees algorithm based on Huffman coding technique. SPIHT algorithm is the lossless compression algorithms reduce file size with no loss in image quality and comparing the final results in terms of bit error rate, PSNR and MSE.
