Abstract

A novel color image watermarking algorithm is proposed based on quaternion wavelet transform (QWT) and discrete cosine transform (DCT) for copyright protection. The luminance channel Y of the host color image in YCbCr space is decomposed by QWT to obtain four approximation subimages. A binary watermark is embedded into the mid-frequency DCT coefficients of two randomly selected subimages. The experimental results show that the proposed watermarking scheme has good robustness against common image attacks such as adding noise, filtering, scaling, JPEG compression, cropping, image adjusting, small angle rotation and so on.
