Abstract— The proposed paper gives LSB Information Hiding algorithm which can lift wavelet transform image. The idea behind
the LSB algorithm is to insert the bits of the hidden message into the least significant bits of the pixels. Achieving the purpose of
information hiding with the secret bits of information to replace the random noise, using the lowest plane embedding secret
information to avoid noise and attacks, making use of redundancy to enhance the sound embedded in the way nature to be
addressed. The results showed that the proposed algorithm has a very good hidden invisibility, good security and robustness for a
lot of hidden attacks.However, the limitation of capacity has led us to think about an improved approach which can be achieved
through hardware implementation systems with the help of a programmable gate array (FPGA) board. Watermarking is the
process of embedding data within the domain of another data, this data can be text, image, audio, or video contents. MATLAB is
used to convert video into images and then convert it into pixel-format i.e header files. Here to implement this paper XPS & VB are
needed. In XPS do the hardware & software configuration. Then XPS could be processed by adding source and header files &
converting into bit streams and download into FPGA, to obtain Secret image. The final result is shown on VB.

I.INTRODUCTION
frame we have to hide a secret image. From that the sender
can send the watermarked image to the receiver. In receiver
side they have to extract the images from the input
watermarked images.
A. LSB TECHNIQUE
The term Watermarking is derived from Greek word literally
means “covered writing”. The main difference between
Digital Watermarking and Steganography is that Digital
Watermarking means hiding the information and extending
the file information while Steganography means only hiding
the information. Digital watermarking is a technique which
allows an individual to add hidden copyright notices or other
verification messages to digital audio, video, or image
signals and documents. In this paper we are using invisible
watermarking. : Invisible watermark is hidden in the content.
It can be detected by an authorized agency only. Such
watermarks are used for content and/or author authentication
and for detecting unauthorized copier. Invisible watermarks
are useful for identifying the source, author, creator, owner,
authorized consumer of a document or image. Digital
Watermarking is used in many applications like copyright
protection, tamper proofing, tracking, broadcast monitoring,
fingerprinting, authentication and integrity verification. The
secret bits are written to the cover image pixel bytes. The
spatial domain techniques are very simple to implement and
have larger capacity which includes Least Significant Bit
(LSB)
technique.

techniques are more secure and have greater peak signal-tonoise ratio (PSNR). In this paper, First we convert the video
file into several frames. Then by choosing one of the
The one’s bit of a byte is used to encode the hidden
information. Suppose we want to encode the letter A (ASCII
65 or binary 01000001 where the least significant bit is far
right 1) in the following 8 bytes of a carrier file.
01011101 11010000 00011100 10101100

LITERATURE SURVEY
Methodology of Local watermark and its applications are
explained in Kiroraski et al (2003). Watermarking in medical
image for the application of security and authentications are
described in Rao and Meenakumary (2011). An efficient
WM system implementation using hardware platforms has
seen a lot of interest recently. For example, Strycker et al. [2]
proposed a video WM scheme, called as just another
watermarking system (JAWS), used for TV broadcast
monitoring and implemented the system on a Philips’s
Trimedia TM-1000 very long instruction word (VLIW)
processor. A new real-time WM very large scale integration

millennium watermarking system for copyright protection of
DVD video and copy generation control.

IV .WORKING
In this proposed system VLSI architecture is designed and
implemented, which is used to perform the binary image
processing with high speed and reduced complexity. For that,
the coprocessor Micro blaze is converted into morphological
processing architecture using Xilinx platform studio in
system C language and then tested in Spartan 3EDK FPGA
kit. RS232 cable is used for interfacing the test circuit with
PC. This hardware implementation can overcome the
shortages of previous works. It can achieve accuracy, less
noise and the speed in computation is high with low power
consumption . In this paper first we convert the input video
into several number of frames and then create a header files
for the input image by using MATLAB. In MATLAB we are
creating the header files using GUI window. By using that
header files as supporting file, fusion of the two images by
using LSB technique is performed. GUI window is used to
create header files of the input and secret image in
MATLAB. After converting the header files in the Mat lab
the XPS could be processed. In XPS the impulse C language
is used. The processing of the input image and the
watermarked image could be processed in the SPARTAN
3EDK. These could be processed by converting these coding
into the Bit streams. Then the net list will be created for that
bit streams to get the proper output. In this paper a GUI
window can be created by using Visual Basic to show the
output obtained from Xilinx Spartan3 EDK.

the number of pixels so it has less visual distortion.

PSNR=48(GOOD QUALITY IMAGE)
IX. CONCLUSION:
In this Paper the high speed low power invisible
watermarking technique is implemented by using discrete
wavelet transform technique to the secret image to get the
better results. The hardware implementation of this digital
watermarking could be significant in the copyright networks
for the processing of the secret network based images. The
related work for this implementation could be recognized
over the processing of this LSB technique for the tamper
proofing also.Here we are checking the watermark insertion
and quality analysis parameter like PSNR and the estimated
PSNR is 48 which is a good PSNR. An improvement of
speed has been achieved by consuming considerably less
number of resources of Spartan-3 FPGA device to provide
cost effective solutions for real time image processing
applications.
