A Novel Robust Adaptive Color Image Watermarking Scheme Based on Artificial Bee Colony

Abstract This paper proposes a new robust adaptive watermarking scheme based on dual-tree quaternion wavelet and artificial bee colony, wherein the host images watermark are both color images. Color in RGB space transformed into YCbCr space. Then, apply Arnold chaotic map their luminance components use colony optimization algorithm to generate embedding strength factor. Dual-tree transform is performed component of scrambled image. Apply singular value decomposition its low-frequency amplitude sub-band obtain principal (PC). Embed component. Analysis experimental results show that proposed better as compared RDWT-SVD QWT-DCT scheme.
