Özet

Watermarking techniques are proposed as a solution to copyright protection of digital media files. Watermarking algorithms are mainly concentrated on spatial or spectral domains. In this work, a robust and high capacity watermarking method that is based on spatio-frequency (SF) representations is presented. We use the Discrete Evolutionary Transform (DET) calculated by Gabor expansion to represent an image in the SF domain. A watermark is embedded onto selected coefficients in the joint SF domain. Hence by combining the advantages of spatial and spectral domain watermarking methods, a robust, invisible, secure and high capacity watermarking method is presented.
