Abstract

In this work, a new wavelet based secured image to image watermarking based on singular value decomposition scheme is presented. This method uses the time domain signal & process it in frequency domain, while time domain features of the carrier remains same, so visually no one can identify the hidden data into it. The algorithm is based on DWT is used for this purpose, since wavelet decomposition of images gives better resolution results than other transforms. It generates a watermark signal using DWT & embeds it into the signal by measuring the subband threshold using DWT. The watermarks are embedded into non-overlapping DWT coefficients of the host signal which are randomly selected & very hard to detect even with the blind detection. The image watermarking is relatively new & has wide scope for research Proposed algorithm is based on DWT domain while considering the more active components of the signal. Comparison shows the PSNR is 51.95 dB & MSE is 0.78, also SSIM is 0.94 which is very good.
