Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new blind watermarking method that embeds a watermark on the lowest wavelet subband coefficients, while most watermarking techniques embed watermarks in the middle frequency range for robustness and fidelity. A new embedding algorithm for watermarking is proposed that embeds a bi-level watermark sequence into randomly selected wavelet coefficients on the lowest subband(LL) using a quantization in order to be robust. Experimental results prove our novel embedding strategy is invisible and good rate-distortion-robustness performance.
