Dual Image Watermarking Scheme based on DWT-SVD

Abstract

The active development of internet, advance smart hand held devices and multimedia technologies have made it possible to easily create, copy, transmit, and distribute multimedia data instantly. Besides all of these advantages, there are many undesired issues including the piracy of digital data. It creates as issue like protection rights of the content and ownership. This concern has drawn the attention of the researchers toward the development of multimedia protection schemes using digital watermark. In this paper, a new image watermarking algorithm is presented which is robust against various attacks. DWT and SVD have been used to embed two watermarks in the HL and LH bands of the host image. Simulation evaluation demonstrates that the proposed technique withstand various attacks.
