Abstract

In this paper, the scaling factor of the watermark is the significant parameter that helps in improving the imperceptibility and robustness against attacks. The tradeoff between the imperceptibility and robustness is considered as an optimization problem and is solved by applying genetic algorithm (GA). The water marking is proposed to be implemented using a hybrid approach which encompasses discrete wavelet transforms (DWT), lifting wavelet transforms (LWT) and singular value decomposition (SVD) technique. The encryption is proposed to be effected using RSA and AES encryption algorithms. A graphical user interface (GUI) which enables the user to have ease of operation in loading the image, watermark it, encrypt it and also retrieve the original image whenever necessary is also designed and presented in this paper.
