Robust Semi-Blind Digital Image Watermarking Technique in DT-CWT Domain
In this paper a new robust digital image watermarking
algorithm based on the Complex Wavelet Transform is proposed. This
technique embeds different parts of a watermark into different blocks
of an image under the complex wavelet domain. To increase security
of the method, two chaotic maps are employed, one map is used to
determine the blocks of the host image for watermark embedding,
and another map is used to encrypt the watermark image. Simulation
results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed
algorithm.
