Abstract
A novel optimal image watermarking scheme is proposed in which the genetic algorithm (GA) is employed to obtain the improvement of algorithm performance. Arnold transform is utilized to obtain the scrambled watermark, and then the embedding and extraction of watermark are implemented in digital wavelet transform (DWT) domain. During the watermarking process, GA is employed to search optimal parameters of embedding strength and times of Arnold transform to gain the optimization of watermarking performance. Simulation results show that the proposed method can improve the quality of watermarked image and give almost the same robustness of the watermark.
