The invention discloses a full
frequency domain sub-band
digital watermarking embedding method based on
wavelet decomposition, comprising the steps of conducting first-level
wavelet decomposition on a color host image Y component; conducting equal-area and not-overlapping partition on all the
four frequency domain sub bands HH, HL, LH and LL, and selecting embedding blocks from the
four frequency domains according to rules at random to form a full
frequency domain embedding block array B; conducing
LU decomposition on the embedding blocks and selecting
diagonal matrix to conduct SVD
decomposition; dividing gray-scale watermarking images into p*p blocks after scrambling in a equal-area and non-overlapping manner, and conducting SVD decomposition on each watermarking block; modifying the
singular value of the carrier block and completing the circular embedding of watermarks. At the time of extracting watermarks, a complete
watermark information can be obtained by selecting any continuous p*p embedding blocks in the embedding array. The full
frequency domain sub-band
digital watermarking embedding method based on
wavelet decomposition is advantageous in that geometric
attack like shearing, brightness adjusting, high pass filtering,
lossless compression and zooming can be effectively defended; under the prerequisite that high-capacity embedding of watermarks is guaranteed, the relation between the
invisibility and robustness can be balanced; the full frequency domain sub-band
digital watermarking embedding method is suitable for the copyright protection of color digital images.
