A Digital Watermarking Algorithm Based On DCT and DWT

Abstract

This paper introduces an algorithm of digital watermarking based on Discrete Cosine Transform(DCT) and Discrete Wavelet Transform(DWT). Accoring to the characters of human vision, in this algorithm, the information of digital watermarking which has been discrete Cosine transformed, is put into the high frequency band of the image which has been wavelet transformed. Then distills the digital watermarking with the help of the original image and the watermarking image. The simulation results show that this algorithm is invisible and has good robustness for some common image processing operations.
