This paper studied the image tamper detection and recovery watermarking scheme based on the discrete wavelet transformation(DWT) and the singular value decomposition (SVD).By the property of DWT and SVD , we design two watermarks which are embedded into the high-frequency bands of the DWT domain.One watermark is from the U component of the SVD domain and used for detecting the intentional content modification and indicating the modified location, and another watermark is from the low-frequency of DWT and used for recovering the image. The watermark generation and watermark embedding are disposed in the image itself. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme can resist the mild modifications of digital image and be able to detect and recovery the malicious modifications precisely.

This paper proposes an image denoising method, using the wavelet transform and the singular value decomposition (SVD), with the enhancement of the directional features. First, use the single-level discrete 2D wavelet transform to decompose the noised image into the low-frequency image part and the high-frequency parts (the horizontal, vertical, and diagonal parts), with the edge extracted and retained to avoid edge loss. Then, use the SVD to filter the noise of the high-frequency parts with image rotations and the enhancement of the directional features: to filter the diagonal part, one needs first to rotate it 45 degrees and rotate it back after filtering. Finally, reconstruct the image from the low-frequency part and the filtered high-frequency parts by the inverse wavelet transform to get the final denoising image. Experiments show the effectiveness of this method, compared with relevant methods.

Robust and invisible watermarking provides a feasible solution to prove the ownership of the genuine content owner. Different watermarking algorithms have been presented by the researchers in the past but no algorithm could be termed as perfect. Proposed work puts forward a novel image-adaptive method of embedding a binary watermark in the image in a transparent manner. Discrete wavelet transform (DWT), singular value decomposition (SVD) and discrete cosine transform (DCT) are used together in the proposed hybrid watermarking scheme. Image-adaptive nature of the scheme is reflected in the usage of only high entropy [Formula: see text] blocks for the watermark embedding. Binary watermark is embedded in the DCT coefficients using a flexible strength derived from the means of the DCT coefficients. This flexible strength factor (SF) has different value for the DCT coefficients originated from different [Formula: see text] blocks. Any desired level of visual quality could be obtained by varying the adjusting parameter of the flexible SF. Side information generated in the watermark embedding is used in the detection of watermark. The presented watermarking technique shows better robustness in comparison to the three contemporary watermarking techniques.

This paper presents a robust and imperceptible methodology of watermark embedding. It uses two vital techniques, firstly the Multi-Resolution Singular Value Decomposition (MR-SVD) and an image adaptive algorithm on the lines of the human visual system (HVS), called Noise Visibility Function (NVF). This is a special type of Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) with cell based operation for multi-resolution behavior like wavelets. So, by embedding the watermark in the Eigen values the robustness of the scheme is enhanced. While for the imperceptibility the NVF has been employed here. The optimal areas for embedding the watermark are characterized by it based on the local smooth or rough textures detected on the MR-SVD image based on the wavelet strength at sub bands. For imperceptibility, the algorithm has been tested on standard test images and different types of attacks for robustness to obtain encouraging results. This incorporates MR-SVD for the first time with HVS based NVF function. Together they produce better results.
