An Efficient Watermarking Technique using ADEW and CBWT for Copyright Protection

This paper proposes an efficient watermarking technique using adaptive differential energy watermarking (ADEW) with cross binding wavelet tree (CBWT). The ADEW embeds a secret bit string using the reference threshold with experimental statistics. The proposed method not only takes advantage of the ADEWs error resilience but corrects a secret bit string by using ECC after error occurrence. Through experiments, we compare the proposed method with conventional DEW approaches and the proposed method shows the appropriateness for robust watermarking
