Performance Comparison of DCT and Walsh Transforms for Watermarking using DWT-SVD
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a DWT-DCT-SVD based hybrid watermarking method for color images. Robustness is achieved by applying DCT to specific wavelet sub-bands and then factorizing each quadrant of frequency sub-band using singular value decomposition. Watermark is embedded in host image by modifying singular values of host image. Performance of this technique is then compared by replacing DCT by Walsh in above combination. Walsh results in computationally faster method and acceptable performance. Imperceptibility of method is tested by embedding watermark in HL2, HH2 and HH1 frequency subbands. Embedding watermark in HH1 proves to be more robust and imperceptible than using HL2 and HH2 sub-bands. Keywords—Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT); Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT); Singular Value Decomposition (SVD); watermarking.
