An Adaptive Digital Image Watermarking Algorithm Based on Morphological Haar Wavelet Transform

At present, much more of the wavelet-based digital watermarking algorithms are based on linear wavelet transform and fewer on non-linear wavelet transform. In this paper, we propose an adaptive digital image watermarking algorithm based on non-linear wavelet transform--Morphological Haar Wavelet Transform. In the algorithm, the original image and the watermark image are decomposed with multi-scale morphological wavelet transform respectively. Then the watermark information is adaptively embedded into the original image in different resolutions, combining the features of Human Visual System (HVS). The experimental results show that our method is more robust and effective than the ordinary wavelet transform algorithms.
