Abstract
A novel scheme of digital image watermarking based on the combination of dual-tree wavelet transform (DTCWT) and probabilistic neural network is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the original image is decomposed by DTCWT, and then the watermark bits are added to the selected coefficients blocks. Because of the learning and adaptive capabilities of neural networks, the trained neural networks can recover the watermark from the watermarked images. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme has good performance against several attacks.
