Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>With the growth of information technologies, E-industry safety has recently become the mutual attention of education and business firms. Digital image watermarking is a technique that refers to the security of multimedia data. It is a process referred to the security and authentication of a digital image, video, and audio by embedding a watermark. Watermarking technique applies a number of variable editions to the host content, where the addition is related to embed information. In the past, researchers develop multiple simple watermarking techniques, today race is to find a region where the watermark is imperceptible and have a high payload. In this paper, an invisible image watermarking technique based on the least significant bit (LSB) and laplacian filter is proposed. The original image is divided into blocks and the laplacian filter is applied on each block. Laplacian is a derivative filter that uses the second derivate to find out the area of rapid changes in the image and the least significant bit is a technique to embed a watermark into the bit positions. Watermark is embedded on these regions which is favourable in achieving high desirable properties. This technique shows strong robustness against image processing and geometrical attacks. In evaluation with state of art methods, the proposed technique shows satisfactory progress.</jats:p>
