ABSTRACT A digital image watermarking algorithm based on fast curvelet transform is proposed. Firstly , the carrier image is de- composed by fast curvelet transform, and, the watermarking image is scrambled by Arnold transform. Secondly, the binary watermarking image is embedded into the medium frequency coefficients according to the human visual charac- teristics and curvelet coefficients. Experiment results show that the proposed algorithm has good performance in both invisibility and security and also has good robustness against the noise, cropping, filtering, JPEG compression and other attacks.

Introduction This paper proposes a digital image watermarking al- gorithm based on fast curvelet transform. Firstly, we take In the past two decades, more and more researchers have a binary-valued image which contains copyright infor- devoted to the transform domain which shows good per- mation as watermark, and adapt Arnold transform to it to formance and robustness.
