Abstract
This paper presents a rotation scale invariant digital
color image watermarking technique using Scale Invariant
Feature Transform (SIFT) which is invariant to geometric
transformation. The image descriptors extracted using SIFT
transform of original image and watermarked image are used
for estimating the scaling factor and angle of rotation of
attacked image. Using estimated factors attacked image is
then restored to its original size for synchronization purpose.
As a result of synchronization, watermark detection is done
correctly. In proposed approach the offline signature, which is
a biometric characteristics of owner is embedded in second
level detailed coefficients of discrete wavelet transform of
cover image. The simulation results show that the algorithm
is robust against signal processing and geometric attack
