This paper presents a new hybrid image watermarking method based on IWT, DCT, and SVD domains, to solve the problem of false-positive detection and scale down the impact of geometric attacks. Properties of IWT, DCT, and SVD enable in achieving higher imperceptibility and robustness. However, SVD-based watermarking method suffers from a major flaw of false-positive detection. Principal component of watermark is embedding in the cover image to overcome this problem. Attacker cannot extract watermark without the key (eigenvector) of the embedded watermark. To recover geometrical attacks, we use a synchronization technique based on corner detection of the image. Computer simulations show that the novel method has improved performance. A comparison with well-known schemes has been performed to show the leverage of the proposed method.
