A robust image hashing based on discrete wavelet transform

Abstract

In this paper, a robust image hashing framework is proposed using image normalization, discrete wavelet transform and singular value decomposition. The stressed motive of the proposed scheme is to obtain a randomize hash sequence which can be used for image authentication and database search. For this purpose, the image is first normalized followed by hash generation in the wavelet domain utilizing the properties of singular value decomposition (SVD). Experimental evaluations demonstrate that the proposed scheme is providing the better robustness and security.
