Cascade Approach of DWT-SVD Digital Image Watermarking
Cascade Approach of DWT-SVD Digital Image Watermarking
Abstract
Digital image watermarking is a method of embedding
information into the host image in order to make the
image secure against any possible attacks. Information
can be an image or a data whose size is less than the host
image, such that embedding should not alter the original
characteristics of host image to a large extent. The
embedded information is called watermark, it can be
extracted whenever required and the originality of the
image can be tested by using a set of performance
parameters. Watermarking method has wide range of
applications in the field of secured data transfer. In this
work, we have implemented digital watermarking
techniques, namely, DWT-SVD cascade technique where
we combined both SVD and DWT techniques.
Keyword: Host image, watermark, embedding, extracting
and performance parameters.

IV Experimental Results
The host image we used is lena which is shown in fig. 3,
because it has all the characteristics of the image. The
watermark image is as shown in fig. 4.

4. Resize Noise
Resized watermarked image is resized to the original
image size so that watermark can be extracted. The
watermarked image was resized to the various
percentages as illustrated in the below figures.
