Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
1 Introduction: This introductory chapter lays the groundwork for the research presented in the book. It establishes the problem statement, outlining the increasing need for secure information transfer in a digital age. The chapter differentiates between cryptography and steganography, highlighting the unique challenges and applications of digital watermarking in protecting digital media. It then provides an overview of the book's structure and the objectives of the proposed study, emphasizing the importance of balancing imperceptibility and robustness in watermarking techniques. The chapter also introduces the concept of using neural networks within the context of watermarking, setting the stage for the subsequent chapters' focus on machine learning approaches.
2 Literature Review of Digital Watermarking: This chapter presents a comprehensive overview of existing research in digital watermarking, specifically focusing on the application of artificial neural networks, Support Vector Regression (SVR), Support Vector Machines (SVM), and genetic algorithms. It analyzes previous attempts to integrate these machine learning techniques into watermarking systems, highlighting both successes and limitations. This review serves as a foundation for the novel approaches presented in later chapters, allowing for a comparative analysis of the proposed methods against existing state-of-the-art techniques and identifies gaps in the current research. The chapter summarizes the strengths and weaknesses of different hybridization strategies employed in the field.
3 Lagrangian Twin SVR based Image Watermarking in DCT Domain: This chapter details a novel image watermarking scheme based on the Lagrangian Twin Support Vector Regression (LTSVR) algorithm within the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) domain. It explains the underlying principles of LTSVR and introduces the concept of fuzzy entropy for enhancing watermark embedding. The chapter describes the watermark embedding and extraction algorithms in detail, providing a step-by-step explanation of the process. Significant attention is given to the experimental results and their discussion, including a thorough analysis of the scheme's performance in terms of robustness and imperceptibility.

4 Image watermarking using QR decomposition and LTSVR in Wavelet Domain: This chapter explores alternative approaches to image watermarking using LTSVR in the wavelet domain, incorporating QR decomposition for enhanced efficiency and robustness. It introduces the concepts of QR decomposition and the lifting scheme of wavelet transform (LWT), demonstrating their application to the watermarking process. The chapter then presents two different algorithms: one using LWT-QR decomposition and another using Inverse Wavelet Transform (IWT)-QR decomposition. For each algorithm, the chapter details the watermark embedding and extraction procedures, followed by a detailed analysis of the experimental results, comparing their performance with the DCT-based approach from the previous chapter and discussing the advantages and disadvantages of each method. The focus is on demonstrating the flexibility and adaptability of the LTSVR algorithm across different transform domains.
