This paper presents a new image watermarking method based on integer-to-integer wavelet transforms. The watermark is embedded in the significant wavelet coefficients by a simple exclusive OR operation. The method avoids complicated computations and high computer memory requirements that are the main drawbacks of common frequency domain based watermarking algorithms. Simulation results show that the embedded watermark is perceptually invisible and robust to various operations, such as low quality joint picture expert group (JPEG) compression, random and Gaussian noises, and smoothing (mean filtering).展开更多

In particular, we discuss the use of blockwise integer to integer transforms, subsequent application of a dimensionality reduction method, and Burrows-Wheeler based lossless compression for the PNG data and the use of high correlation based modeling of sorted transform coefficients for the raw floating point magnitude and phase data. The gains exhibited are substantial over the application of different lossless methods directly on the data and competitive with existing lossy approaches. The methods presented are effective for large scale processing of similar data formats as they are heavily based on techniques which scale well on parallel architectures.展开更多
