An Image Adaptive Watermarking method based on the Discrete Wavelet Transform is presented in this paper. The robustness and fidelity of the proposed method are evaluated and the method is compared to state-of-theart watermarking techniques available in the literature. For the evaluation of watermark transparency, an image fidelity factor based on a perceptual distortion metric is introduced. This new metric allows a perceptually aware objective quantification of image fidelity.

In this paper, the performance of several state-of-the-art watermark perceptual transparency metrics is evaluated through subjective assessment. Simulation results show that a metric based on S-CIELAB distortion maps proved to be better correlated to the subjective tests than other objective metrics available in the literature. The paper focus on Image Adaptive Watermarking methods in the Discrete Wavelet Transform Domain since they yield better results regarding robustness and transparency than other watermarking schemes.
