Basic Overview
Digital Watermarking (DWM) is a technique of protecting digital data. This code base implements 2 methods for marking digital images based on Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT).
Several attacks (signal degradations such as noise, dithering, filtering, cropping, lossy JPEG compression) on marked image were conducted. Attacked images are saved and the watermark is extracted.
Robustness of DWT vs DCT is graded based on the quality of extracted watermark. The measure used is the Correlation coefficient (0-100% or 0-1).

Using the App
See Main.mlx
example file for simple Image Watermarking Procedure to control the program flow. It does not contain popup windows for selections, instead it has drop down selections.
Procedure steps are separated by sections that match the steps of the main menu in Main.m
.
Also, hardcoded input variables from Main.m
are clearly marked in Main.mlx
as numeric sliders.
Example Log
