VLSI Implementation of Hybrid Stationary Wavelet Transform-Based Digital Watermarking for Intellectual Property Rights Protection

Abstract

With the rapid proliferation of the internet and digital media, the transmission and reproduction of digital content have become incredibly convenient. However, this convenience comes with the drawback of digital piracy and unauthorized distribution, as digital products can be easily duplicated without loss in fidelity. Protecting the intellectual property rights of digital media is crucial in this digital era. Digital watermarking emerges as a powerful technique for content authentication, illegal duplication detection, and securing intellectual property.
