Abstract
In this paper, we Propose a method using the Tikhonov-Miller process to improve the robustness of watermarking under various attacks. A visually recognizable pattern watermark is embedded in the LH2, HL2 and HH2 subband of wavelet transformed domain using threshold and besides watermark is embeded by utilizing HVS(Human Visual System) feature. The pattern watermark was interlaced after random Permutation for a security and an extraction rate. To demonstrate the improvement of robustness and similarity of the proposed method, we applied some basic algorithm of image processing such as scaling, filtering, cropping, histogram equalizing and lossy compression(JPEG, gif). As a result of experiment, the proposed method was able to embed robust watermark invisibility and extract with an excellent normalized correlation of watermark under various attacks.
