摘要
Watermarking is a technology for embedding secure information in digital content such as audio, images, and video. An effective watermarking algorithm is proposed based on a discrete wavelet transform (DWT) using mixed scales representation. The watermark is embedded in dominant blocks using quantization index modulation (QIM). These dominant blocks correspond to the texture and contour zones. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is robust against various attacks and improves watermark invisibility. (c) 2012 SPIE and IS&T. [DOI: 10.1117/1.JEI.21.1.013003]
