Reversible watermarking using priority embedding through repeated application of integer wavelet transform

Published: 19 October 2011 Publication History

Abstract

Digital Watermarking is a well-known technique for digital content protection. Reversible Watermarking techniques are a special class of watermarking techniques whereby after the watermark has been extracted, the original content can be retrieved without any distortion. In this paper we present a novel high capacity reversible watermarking technique for grayscale images, based on repeated application of integer wavelet transform. The process is performed after determining a priority of the different image pixels to be used for watermark embedding. Our experimental results fare favourably when compared to other state-of-the-art reversible watermarking techniques of similar principle.
