Abstract

A wavelet based multiresolution watermarking method using the human visual system (HVS) is proposed, in which a different number of watermarks, in proportion to the energy contained in each band, are embedded into each band. Experiments show that the proposed three-level wavelet based method is robust to various attacks such as joint photographic experts group (JPEG) compression, smoothing cropping collusion, multiple watermarking, and so on
