A Study on Statistical Analysis for Performance Evaluation of Digital Watermarking

Performance evaluation for image quality assessment plays a very vital role in digital image watermarking. The main objective of this paper is to study the process of statistical analysis of image quality metrics for performance evaluation testing in digital image watermarking. This review gives the basic idea of statistical method ANOVA, which will help the researchers to assess the quality of their methods not only related to image watermarking but also to different fields of research of their own interests. The comprehensive study on some existing methods is also presented in this paper to show the effectiveness as well as the limitations of the performance evaluation metrics in the domain of digital image watermarking.
