Digital Watermarking

This course prepares students to explain the concepts and types of digital watermarking for protecting the integrity and copyright of multimedia content, implement watermarking techniques in the spatial and transform domains, and evaluate the robustness of watermarks against attacks. Study materials: Algorithmic Foundations (AL), Mathematical and Statistical Foundations (MSF), Security (SEC).
