Abstract

This paper presents a new watermarking method based on wavelet transform. Embedding algorithm call define robust area by varying thresholds and gives a watermark image the priority of significance by analyzing spatial correlation of the watermark image. Detector can adjust thresholds to the distorted watermarked image. Also detector can extract the embedded data without an original image. A new measurement for detecting the correct watermark is suggested. Simulation results show that the embedded watermark is robust against various signal processing and compression attacks.
