Digital Watermarking for Image AuthenticationBased on Combined DCT, DWT and SVD Transformation (1307.6328v1)
Published 24 Jul 2013 in cs.MM
Abstract: This paper presents a hybrid digital image watermarking based on Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) in a zigzag order. From DWT we choose the high band to embed the watermark that facilities to add more information, gives more invisibility and robustness against some attacks. Such as geometric attack. Zigzag method is applied to map DCT coefficients into four quadrants that represent low, mid and high bands. Finally, SVD is applied to each quadrant.
