Abstract
In this paper, a digital watermarking method using the WPT (Wavelet Packet Transform) is proposed. The proposed algorithm transforms the input image by using the WPT and inserts the watermark by using the quad-tree algorithm and Cox's algorithm. The experiments for evaluating the performances of the proposed algorithm is carried out by inserting a watermark in each wavelet packet transform step and by inserting a watermark into the lowest frequency domain (LL). As a simulation result, the performance of the insertion of the watermark into the 6 levels of WPT is better than that of other cases. In addition, about $30{\sim}60%$ of all watermarks are inserted into the LL band, the correlation value is improved though the PSNR performance decreases $1{\sim}2dB$.
