Abstract :
In this paper, the modified mid-band exchange coefficient (MMBEC) image watermark technique has been realized on FPGA platform. This technique is implemented on Xilinx XCV800-pq240 chip and Labview software as graphical user interface. The MMBEC technique utilizes 49% of the chip area and operating maximum frequency of 36 MHz. A performance comparison between the software and hardware implementations has been discussed. It declared that the hardware implementation improves the execution time 7 times faster than the software.
