Robust watermarking scheme based LWT and SVD using artificial bee colony optimization

Abstract

<span>This paper presents a watermarking scheme for grayscale images, in which lifting wavelet transform and singular value decomposition are exploited based on multi-objective artificial bee colony optimization to produce a robust watermarking method. Furthermore, for increasing security encryption of the watermark is done prior to the embedding operation. In the proposed scheme, the actual image is altered to four sub-band over three levels of lifting wavelet transform then the singular value of the watermark image is embedded to the singular value of LH sub-band of the transformed original image. In the embedding operation, multiple scaling factors are utilized on behalf of the single scaling element to get the maximum probable robustness without changing watermark lucidity. Multi-objective artificial bee colony optimization is utilized for the determination of the optimal values for multiple scaling components, which are examined against various types of attacks. For making the proposed scheme more secure, the watermark is encrypted chaotically by logistic chaotic encryption before embedding it to the host (original) image. The experimental results show excellent imperceptibility and good resiliency against a wide range of image processing attacks.</span>

Medical Images Breast Cancer Segmentation Based on K-Means Clustering Algorithm: A Review

“…where each of the region's pixels is comparable to the unique characteristics or particular features measured, such as color, strength, or texture. When operating on a large amount of data set created by medical modalities, many segmentation methods are computationally costly [7,37]. In the clinical setting, segmentation of image data before or during the procedure must be quick and accurate.…”

Image Compression Based on Deep Learning: A Review

“…All the representations have been obtained by learning an efficient hierarchy of symbols from distributed and massive data [40]. Deep learning effectively removes the requirement of handcrafted representations, which can be very useful when dealing with data, such as acoustic and visual signals, while performing the same [41,42].

Self embedding digital watermark using hybrid method against compression attack

“…In the past years digital images watermarking developed quite dramatically, and there's so many methods and technique for that [4], [5], and its change from a domain to another medical, telecommunication, copyright registration to just simple effect for images and videos [6]- [8], but each one of them need some parameters like original image or a key to extract the digital watermark correctly [9]- [11], which mean a big problem in case lose or destroy this parameters, that will lead to incapability for the extraction [12]- [14], in other words embedding a mark in the LSB of images with simple methods alone, and not using any encryptions or other data hiding techniques is too fragile for be used alone to counter any kind of data manipulation [15], [16]. But in this paper we propose a solution for this problem, by creating a method to embed a digital watermark, and extracting it after regardless for the need for any other parameters using any standard LSB extracting method to get the watermark.…”
