초록

In this paper, we propose an adaptive digital image watermarking algorithm using successive subband quantization (SSQ) and perceptual model based on wavelet domain. The watermark is embedded into the perceptually significant coefficients (PSCs) of image. The PSCs in the baseband are selected according to the amplitude of the coefficients and the high frequency subbands are selected by SSQ. To embed the watermark, we use perceptual model. The perceptual model is based on the computation of the noise visibility function (NVF) and embed at the texture and edge region stronger embedded watermarks.
