Abstract

This paper proposes a digital watermarking algorithm of combining the chaos with the wavelet transform. Firstly, three-color separation is performed over dual carrier images; secondly, chaotic scrambling is carried out over RGB components of the watermark using different secret keys, followed by wavelet transform; then, corresponding components are embedded, allowing for improved watermark security, as different secret keys are used for different components; furthermore, according to the property of human vision system being variably sensitive to different regions of the wavelet transformed image, the watermark is embedded into medium and low frequency domain of wavelet transform, so as to balance transparency and robustness of the watermark. Experimental results show that this watermarking algorithm has kept image quality relatively well with high security, and exhibited good robustness to such attacks as Gaussian and compression etc.
