Abstract
Four digital watermarking techniques (image watermarking using curvelet transform (WCT), watermark wavelets in curvelets of cover image (WWCT), resized watermark into curvelets of cover image (RWCT), resized watermark wavelets into curvelets of cover image (RWWCT)) based on curvelet transform are discussed in this chapter. In WCT both the embedding and extraction procedures are discussed, where the watermark is embedded into the curvelets of the color cover image. In WWCT the wavelets of watermark are obtained. These wavelets are embedded into the color image curvelets. In RWCT the watermark is resized based on magic square technique and then embedded into the color image curvelets. In RWWCT the resized watermark obtained through the magic square procedure is transformed through wavelet transformation and then the wavelets are embedded into the curvelets of the cover image. The results indicate that the embedding and extraction procedures of WWCT and RWWCT are much superior to WCT and RWCT. The regeneration of watermark image is satisfactory, but lossy.
