Ketahanan dan Kualitas Visual Watermarked Image Menggunakan Integer Wavelet Transform (IWT) dan Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) by Bambang Harjito, Eka Tri Kustanti

“…This paper proposes a digital watermarking method using a combination of Integer Wavelet Transform (IWT) and Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) to produce watermarking with good visual quality and resistance from several attacks. The results obtained that Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR)  values are close to 1 and Normalized Correlation Coefficient (NCC)  equal to 0.71337. shows the IWT and CRT methods are able to produce watermarked images with good visual quality or imperceptibility and are able to provide image resistance to several attacks such as gaussian, salt & pepper and JPEG2000 compression but are not resistant to rotation and contrast attacks because the NCC value is below 0.5 …”
