Abstract

Non-blind watermarking is a form of watermarking with a watermark image validation process that requires a host image. The use of the transform domain is more robust and imperceptible. The transform domain method is resistant to various forms of digital image attacks. In this study, Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) were selected as watermark insertion algorithms. DCT is faster and more resistant to attacks, especially in image compression attacks, but has lower imperceptibility than DWT. DWT is also known to be resistant to noise attacks, filtering, blurring, cropping, and has high imperceptibility depending on the sub-band selection but is not resistant to image compression attacks. Based on each algorithm's advantages and disadvantages, there is an opportunity to combine it to analyze and compare the insertion results with DCT and DWT itself. To test the results of imperceptibility, we used the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), while to test the robustness, we used Cross-Correlation (CC) and Bit Error Ratio (BER). Without attacks, the PSNR on the proposed method can reach 71 dB. The CC value without attack can reach a perfect value of 1 and BER = 0. The highest attack test result is CC = 1 on the filtering attack. From the various tests we have conducted, it has been proven that the DCT-DWT is more imperceptive and robust than previous studies
