Abstract

An adaptive digital image watermarking technique is proposed. The proposed method exploits the sensitivity of human eyes to adaptively embed a visually recognizable watermark in an image without affecting the perceptual quality of the underlying host image. In addition, the watermark will still be present if some lossy image processing operations such as low-pass filtering, median filtering, resampling, requantization, and lossy JPEG image compression are applied to the watermarked image. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed watermarking method.
