LWT-SVD secure image watermarking technique

In this paper we have proposed a new image watermarking technique which consists in applying the Singular Values Decomposition (SVD) in LWT domain in order to insert the watermark image in the cover image. This technique also use signature in the embedding and extraction procedure. The obtained results from the application of the proposed technique on a number of images show clearly that this technique is secure and both the watermarked and the watermark images are with good visible quality.
