Robust digital image watermarking using DWT, DFT and quality based average

This paper presents a digital image watermarking system that complements a wavelet based insertion module, with a resynchronization module, and a method for selecting the watermark using an estimated-quality-based average. The proposed system has been tested with attacks performed by Stirmark, obtaining results of robustness over 90%.
