Abstract
We propose a new non-blind digital image watermarking method based on the dyadic wavelet transform (DYWT) and interval arithmetic (IA). Since the DYWT has a redundant representation, the amount of information that the watermark must carry is higher than in discrete-wavelet-transform–based methods. Our watermark is a binary logo that is embedded into the high-frequency components by using DYWT and IA. We describe our watermarking procedure in detail and show experimental results demonstrating that our method gives watermarked images that have better quality and that are robust against attacks such as marking, clipping, contrast tuning (MATLAB histeq and imadjust commands), addition of Gaussian white noise, addition of salt & pepper noise, and JPEG and JPEG2000 compressions.
