Abstract
This paper presents a robust watermarking for still digital images based on a Slant transform, discrete wavelet transforms and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). The cover image is transformed using discrete wavelet transform and singular value decomposition while watermark image is transformed using slant transform. It is watermarked by replacing singular values of the high-frequency and low-frequency component of an original image by that of slant transformed watermarks. Experimental results show that our method guarantees the robust resistance against no attack and the robustness against common image processing attacks such as JPEG compression, cropping, histogram equalization, sharpening etc.
