DIGITAL WATERMARKING BASED ON COMPLEXITY OF BLOCK

A lot of researches [1] have been conducted on digital watermark embedding in brightness. A prerequisite for the digital watermark is that the image quality does not change even if the volume of the embedded information increases. Generally, the noise on complex images is perceived than the noise on fiat images. Thus, we present a method for watermarking an image by embedding complex areas by priority. The proposed method has achieved higher image quality of digital watermarking compared to other method that do not take into consideration the complexity of blocks, although the PSNR of the proposed method is lower than for a method not based on block complexity.
