A DWT-based robust watermarking scheme with fuzzy ART

Digital watermarking is an important technique for protecting the intellectual property rights (IPR) of digital media. In this paper, we propose a DWT-based robust watermarking scheme with fuzzy adaptive resonance theory (Fuzzy ART) for still images. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme is robust against common image processing, geometric distortions and some intentional attacks. Without modifying the original image, the proposed scheme is not only a robust method but also a lossless one. Moreover, it is not necessary to use the original image during extracting the embedded watermark.
