Combined DWT-DCT Digital Image Watermarking
نویسنده
چکیده
The proliferation of digitized media due to the rapid growth of networked multimedia systems, has created an urgent need for copyright enforcement technologies that can protect copyright ownership of multimedia objects. Digital image watermarking is one such technology that has been developed to protect digital images from illegal manipulations. In particular, digital image watermarking algorithms which are based on the discrete wavelet transform have been widely recognized to be more prevalent than others. This is due to the wavelets' excellent spatial localization, frequency spread, and multi-resolution characteristics, which are similar to the theoretical models of the human visual system. In this paper, we describe an imperceptible and a robust combined DWT-DCT digital image watermarking algorithm. The algorithm watermarks a given digital image using a combination of the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT). Performance evaluation results show that combining the two transforms improved the performance of the watermarking algorithms that are based solely on the DWT transform.

To protect the copyright of digital image, this paper proposed a combined Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) based watermarking scheme. To embed the watermark, the cover image was decomposed by a 2-level DWT, and the HL2 subband coefficient was divided into 4x4 blocks, then the DCT was performed on each of these blocks. The watermark bit was embedded by predefi...
