An Efficient Watermarking Technique Using ADEW and CBWT for Copyright Protection

In this paper, we propose an efficient watermarking technique using adaptive differential energy watermarking (ADEW) and cross binding wavelet tree (CBWT) for copyright protection. The ADEW embeds a secret bit string using the reference threshold with experimental statistics. The proposed method not only takes advantage of the ADEW's error resilience but corrects a secret bit string by using ECC after error occurrence. Experimental results indicated that the proposed method provides better robustness against attacks than the conventional DEW approaches.
