FLOWCHART
1. Start:
• The user launches the app.
2. Image Upload:
• User uploads the image they want to watermark.
3. Watermark Input:
• User inputs the watermark text or uploads a watermark image.
• Options for customizing watermark: position, opacity, size, etc.
4. Watermark Embedding Process:
• Backend (Python, Flask) processes the image.
• Machine learning algorithms (if applicable) adjust the watermark based on security settings.
5. Display Watermarked Image:
• The app displays the watermarked image for user review.
6. User Confirmation:
• User confirms if the watermark is satisfactory.
1. Yes: Proceed to save the image.
2. No: Return to step 3 for customization.
7. Save Watermarked Image:
• The watermarked image is saved locally or in the cloud.
8. End:
• Process completes, and the user can download the image.
Algorithms
1.Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs): CNNs can be used for invisible

watermarking by embedding the watermark into the image's deeper layers
(frequency domain) without visibly affecting the image quality. CNNs can also
be employed for detecting tampered watermarks or altered images.
2.Autoencoders: Autoencoders, a type of neural network, can be used
to encode and decode watermarks invisibly. The autoencoder learns how
to embed watermarks into the image during encoding and retrieve them
during decoding.
3.Support Vector Machines (SVMs): SVMs can be utilized for classifying
image tampering or unauthorized use by detecting alterations in the
watermarked image, ensuring the integrity of the watermark.
4.Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs): GANs can be applied to
improve the robustness of invisible watermarks by training the generator to
create watermarked images that are difficult to distinguish from non-
watermarked ones, while the discriminator attempts to identify the watermark.
Design Details
1.User Interface (UI): Simple and intuitive with an image upload

section, watermark customization options (position, opacity, size),
and a real-time preview of the watermarked image.
2.Backend (Flask + Python): Handles image processing using
Python libraries like Pillow (PIL) or OpenCV, embedding watermarks
based on user input, and serving the app via Flask routes.
3.Watermarking Algorithm: Uses overlay techniques for visible
watermarks and security-focused algorithms like Discrete Cosine
Transform (DCT) for invisible watermarks.
4.Security Measures: Implements file validation, protects against
CSRF attacks, and ensures watermark integrity with tamper
detection for robust security.
Components
1. Hardware – Personal Laptop

2. Software – Python, Flask, Image processing libraries and ML
libraries
Experimental Setup
• The experimental setup involves testing the image watermarking

app in four key areas: functionality, performance, security, and
user experience. Functional testing will ensure that image
upload, watermark customization (position, opacity, size),
embedding, and saving work correctly. Performance testing will
measure the processing time for different image sizes and assess
server load handling. Security testing will focus on the robustness
of invisible watermarks, tamper detection, and protection against
CSRF attacks. Lastly, user experience testing will evaluate the
app's ease of use and responsiveness across various devices.
Experiment Details
1.Functional Testing: Test the app's ability to upload images,
apply customizable watermarks (position, opacity, size), and save
the final watermarked image while preserving image quality.
2.Performance Testing: Measure processing time for embedding
watermarks on small to large images, and assess the app's
efficiency under multiple simultaneous user requests.
3.Security Testing: Evaluate the strength of invisible
watermarks, test tamper detection, and ensure protection
against common web vulnerabilities like CSRF attacks.
4.User Experience Testing: Ensure the app’s interface is
intuitive, responsive across devices, and provides a seamless
experience for customizing and applying watermarks.
Outcomes
1. The app will prevent unauthorized distribution of

images.
2. Provide customizable watermarks for enhanced user
experience.
3. Ensure watermark visibility based on user preferences.
