Abstract

In this paper, a novel watermarking scheme based on quantum wavelet transform (QWT) is proposed. Firstly, the wavelet coefficients are extracted by executing QWT on quantum image. Then, we utilize a dynamic vector for controlling embedding strength instead of a fixed parameter for embedding process in other schemes. Analysis and results show that the proposed dynamic watermarking scheme has better visual quality under a higher embedding capacity and outperforms the existing schemes in the literature.
