Digital Image Protection Against Non-Authorized Artistic Edition

Nowadays, internet access and the sophisticated processing capacities of electronic devices for the capture and visualization of visual information, such as images; have allowed young users practices such as downloading, storing, editing, and re-sharing of images without authorization of the image owner. To solve this problem a watermarking algorithm for digital images is proposed, which is able to warranty the image protection against the most common editions incorporated into the capture devices and artistic editions integrated into the upload option of the social media. The experimental results show a high performance of the proposed algorithm, due to, a minimum edition of the protected image exhibiting to the naked eye the watermark pattern, by another way, the average performance is reported with a PSNR=42dB and NCD=0.0885.
