چکیده

Digital Watermarking provides techniques to hide watermarks into digital content to protect it from illegal copy or reproduction. The prevalent techniques of digital watermarking in spatial domain cause the watermarked image to loose its image quality termed as Robustness and fidelity. Several techniques have been devised to optimize the Robustness and fidelity with given information content. Recently, genetic algorithms have become quite popular in artificial intelligence area due to their evolutionary nature and their special significance for optimization in several areas. This paper is an attempt to propose the conceptual background of technique based on genetic algorithm which may help to optimize the fidelity and robustness aspect of watermarking. Genetic algorithm may help to search appropriate locations in cover images to insert watermark so that fidelity or robustness may be optimized. Based on a specific requirement, a suitable fitness function may be selected.

Intelligent scalable image watermarking robust against progressive DWT-based compression using genetic algorithms

Image watermarking refers to the process of embedding an authentication message, called watermark, into the host image to uniquely identify the ownership. In this paper a novel, intelligent, scalable, robust wavelet-based watermarking approach is proposed. The proposed approach employs a genetic algorithm to find nearly optimal positions to insert watermark. The embedding positions coded as chr...

Tuning Shape Parameter of Radial Basis Functions in Zooming Images using Genetic Algorithm

Image zooming is one of the current issues of image processing where maintaining the quality and structure of the zoomed image is important. To zoom an image, it is necessary that the extra pixels be placed in the data of the image. Adding the data to the image must be consistent with the texture in the image and not to create artificial blocks. In this study, the required pixels are estimated ...

Application of Single Objective Genetic Algorithm to Optimize Heat Transfer Enhancement from a Flat Plate

The optimal shape of a two dimensional turbulator above an isothermal flat plate is found by using numerical simulation. The turbulent boundary layer over the flat plate was disrupted at various situations by inserting a quadrilateral bar where the boundary layer thickness kept more than three times greater than the insert\'s height. As a result, the overall heat transfer coefficient of the wal...
