Abstract

See full text

The system and method reduces the quantization artifacts in the addition and removal of a digital watermark to and from a selected resolution image of a hierarchical image storage system where the watermark removal record is placed in a higher resolution image component. For those applications where preserving the image quality of a higher resolution image component is more critical than preserving the image quality of a lower resolution image component, the low-resolution image is modified according to the teachings of the present invention to minimize and in many cases eliminate the quantization artifacts at the higher resolution component.
