Robust Blind Watermarking Algorithm Based on Contourlet Transform with Singular Value Decomposition
Summary :
In this Letter, we propose a blind and robust multiple watermarking scheme using Contourlet transform and singular value decomposition (SVD). The host image is first decomposed by Contourlet transform. Singular values of Contourlet coefficient blocks are adopted to embed watermark information, and a fast calculation method is proposed to avoid the heavy computation of SVD. The watermark is embedded in both low and high frequency Contourlet coefficients to increase the robustness against various attacks. Moreover, the proposed scheme intrinsically exploits the characteristics of human visual system and thus can ensure the invisibility of the watermark. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms other related methods in terms of both robustness and execution time.
