Report of the
Workshop on Image
Watermarking and Publishing
Ethics
at
GTU PG SCHOOL, BISAG, Gandhinagar
by Prof. Gaurav Sharma
University Of Rochester, USA
19th March-2015 (08:00 AM to 12:00 PM)
With the visionary leadership of our honorable Vice Chancellor Dr. Akshai Aggrawal GTU PG
SCHOOL organized Workshop on two of the very important topics for the Post-graduate students
of GTU PG School which were Digital Image Watermarking and Research and Publishing
Ethics at the BISAG campus. The 4 hours Workshop was conducted by Prof. Gaurav Sharma,
University of Rochester, USA who has 15 years of rich experience of working at the University
of Rochester, which is one of the top 10 proprietary earning universities in USA. Dr Sharma has
specialized in Digital Watermarking and has published over 115 conference and 50 IEEE journal
papers. Many of his papers hold a large number of citations.
In the first session of workshop Prof. Gaurav Sharma discussed the basics of Image, Image
Processing, representation of Image in various domains and Digital Watermarking. The flow then
got focused on Image watermarking where he explained various methods, schemes and types of
image watermarking to make it as fragile as possible. While narrating the tale of timeline of
watermarks he also gave the students a best example of how a simple idea can turn into a great
work and field of global research with pure dedication and expertise. The session turned out to
be quite an interactive one, since students shared their views and cleared their doubts and many
of them got inspired for their dissertation as well.
He also explained technical concept of the
following:
Conventional Watermarks
Digital Watermarking
Data hiding application
Multiple watermarks
Spread spectrum watermark
Quantization Index Modulation
(QIM) Watermark Embedding
Optimal Watermark Embedding

The second half of the session was all about

Research and Publishing Ethics. In the current situation where research work is turning out to
be a mandatory phase for accomplishment of certifications, the quality and dedication towards
research and focus on a particular problem is getting degraded. The session acknowledged the
necessity, benefits and moral values of qualitative and original research to the students and also
inspired them to work in as optimized, organized and error-free way as possible. Since all or at
least most of the students were new to research field, Prof. Sharma also spoke about universal
traditions of Research committees, dos and donts of publishing papers and working flows on a
dedicated field. Being an Editor-in-Chief of IEEE journals he also shared experience of the best
and the worst works and a few very helpful case studies.
The workshop ended with a vote of thanks to experts,
participants and students of the GTU PG School for their
valuable support. There was sharing of smiles, gratitude
and satisfaction from both the sides and students are
looking forward to further such experiences in future.

Reason to select Topic must be clear in authors mind.

Topic should be related to your area of interest.
You should start writing before you have all the work done and everything figured out.
Typical 150-250 word abstract must be written.
Proof reading and checking of equations should be carefully done.
Author name: The authors first name should be spelled out, not abbreviated with an initial, so
that readers know who you are.
Use correct IEEE reference style (see IEEEs Information for Authors or any IEEE journal). For
multiple authors, use the form Author1 and Author2 or Author1, Author2, and Author3
(note the final comma and the word and).
Footnotes: Footnotes have been historically used for two purposes: 1) For a statement, giving
further details and/or references, and 2) to add material as an afterthought.
Capitalization: Dont capitalize generic phrases such as code-division multiple access (CDMA) or
bit error rate (BER). Do capitalize phrases that are proper names such as Universal Mobile
Telecommunications System (UMTS) and also words in phrases that are proper names like fast
Fourier transform (FFT).
Italics: For emphasis of words, use italic font
Spacing: Always use a space between a number and its unit, e.g., 5 dB.
Hyphens and dashes: Use hyphens for compound adjectives, e.g., time-domain analysis.
Numerals: For numerals, use the words one, two, ... , nine for enumerating objects and 1, 2,
... , 9 for numerical values.
Page numbers: Always number pages so that reviewers can refer to specifics in the text.
Notation, distortion, performance: In the context of defining mathematical symbols, the word
notation is a collective noun and does not use an s on the end.
Jargon: Avoid technical jargon that combines words to make up new words that are not in the
dictionary (e.g., pathloss, basestation, etc.).
Conclusions: The final section of a paper should be titled Conclusions not Conclusion.
References: Standard IEEE citation of references is [1], [2] and [3][5], not [1,2] and [35],
respectively.
