With the era of rapid technology in multimedia, the copyright protection is very important to preserve an ownership of multimedia data. This paper proposes an image watermarking scheme based on Integer Wavelet Transform (IWT) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). The binary watermark is scrambled by Arnold transform before embedding watermark. Embedding locations are determined by using variance pixels. Selected blocks with the lowest variance pixels are transformed by IWT, thus the LL sub-band of 8×8 IWT is computed by using SVD. The orthogonal U matrix component of U3,1 and U4,1 are modified using certain rules by considering the watermark bits and an optimal threshold. This research reveals an optimal threshold value based on the trade-off between robustness and imperceptibility of watermarked image. In order to measure the watermarking performance, the proposed scheme is tested under various attacks. The experimental results indicate that our scheme achieves higher robustness than other scheme under different types of attack.

The article is devoted to the analysis of watermarking algorithms in terms of their use in marking medical images. The algorithms based on the Integer Wavelet Transform (IWT), Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) were compared. The algorithms were implemented using the combinations: IWT, IWT-DCT, and IWT-SVD. As part of the research, the level of disturbances caused by embedding the watermark was checked using subjective and objective methods. The attack resistance of the watermarked images was tested and the steganographic capacity was measured. All algorithms are based on IWT, however, each has different advantages. The algorithm based on the IWT showed the highest capacity. The most resistant to attacks is IWT-SVD, and the lowest level of interference was obtained for the IWT-DCT algorithm.
