In recent years, singular value decomposition has become a popular tool for image watermarking. In this paper, we propose a new blind watermarking scheme by quantizing the singular values of wavelet component. To optimize the system performance, we treat the image watermarking as a multi-objective optimization problem based on non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II. Based on this new perspective, the inherent conflict existing in image fidelity and watermark robustness for image watermarking can be objectively handled. The experimental study shows that our method indeed provide superior performance.Index Terms-watermarking, singular value decomposition, non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
