Performance analysis of FSO transmission of watermarked image over Rician fading channels

In this paper, FSO transmission of the watermarked image over the Rician turbulence channel is analyzed. First, DCT-SVD watermarking algorithm, and algorithm for FSO transmission simulation are explained. Then, transmission of watermarked image and robustness of watermark is described. Obtained simulation results are shown in tables and graphically presented. Finally, performance analysis has been carried out, and it has been shown that the watermark can be successfully extracted from transmitted image transmitted through FSO channel with K parameter value of K=5.
