Block-Based Discrete Wavelet Transformsingular Value Decomposition Image Watermarking Scheme Using Human Visual System Characteristics

Digital watermarking has been suggested as a way to achieve digital protection. The aim of digital watermarking is to insert the secret data into the image without significantly affecting the visual quality. This study presents a robust block-based image watermarking scheme based on the singular val...
