However, the successive mean quantization transform perform an automatic structural breakdown of information and these characteristic make the transform interesting for automatic enhancement of any images [9].

Analysis of Image Enhancement Methods for Outdoor-Applications

One of the most important techniques proposed is Quantization Index Modulation (QIM) [12], where watermark embedding is obtained by quantizing the host or input signal with a quantizer level chosen among a full set of quantizers that are each associated with a different message.

Quantized(x) is quantized effect drawing, q is quantization level, [DELTA]q controls the width of quantization range, [q.sub.nearsst] is the edge information that is the nearest to f([??]) and [phi] is the parameter that controls the transition sharp degree between two quantization range.
