Robust digital image watermarking scheme using wave atoms with multiple description coding

Abstract

In this article, a robust blind watermarking scheme using wave atoms with multiple descriptions is proposed. In the presented scheme, the watermark image is embedded in the wave atom transform domain. One of the sub-bands is used to carry watermark data. The experimental results indicate that superiority of the proposed method against common attacks such as JPEG compression, Gaussian noise addition, median filtering, salt and pepper noise, etc., compared with the existing watermarking schemes using multi-scale transformations. © 2012 Leung et al.; licensee Springer.
