“…The achieved tradeoffs from these techniques between imperceptibility and robustness are controversial.To solve this problem,this study proposes the application of artificial intelligent techniques into digital watermarking by using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and singular value decomposition (SVD).To protect the copyright information of digital images,the original image is decomposed according to two-dimensional discrete wavelet transform.Subsequently the preprocessed watermark with an affined scrambling transform is embedded into the vertical subband (HLm) coefficients in wavelet domain without compromising the quality of the image.The scaling factors are trained with the assistance of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO).A new
algorithmic framework is used to
forecast feasibility of hypothesized watermarked images.In addition,the novelty is to associate the Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization (HPSO),instead of a single optimization,as a model with SVD.To embed and extract the watermark,the singular values of the blocked host image are
modified according to the watermark and scaling factors. …”
