A Robust Image Watermarking Scheme in DWT-SVD Domain Based on just Noticeable Distortion

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper proposes a novel scheme combining Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) for image watermarking. The watermarking image is separated by two parts randomly, then they are embedded into the sub-bands obtained from the original image in DWT domain by modifying the singular value. SVD is applied twice in this scheme.The use of the threshold of Just Noticeable Distortion (JND) based on human visual model determines the embedding strength and position of the watermark, the digital adaptive watermarking algorithm in a combinational domain is realized. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme has a good invisibility and performance of robustness for common attacks, simultaneously enhances the embedding capacity and security.
