We present a new optimal watermarking scheme based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and singular value decomposition (SVD) using multiobjective ant colony optimization (MOACO). A binary watermark is decomposed using a singular value decomposition. Then, the singular values are embedded in a detailed subband of host image. The trade-off between watermark transparency and robustness is controlled by multiple scaling factors (MSFs) instead of a single scaling factor (SSF). Determining the optimal values of the multiple scaling factors (MSFs) is a difficult problem. However, a multiobjective ant colony optimization is used to determine these values. Experimental results show much improved performances of the proposed scheme in terms of transparency and robustness compared to other watermarking schemes. Furthermore, it does not suffer from the problem of high probability of false positive detection of the watermarks.

Watermarking is a method to hide the image efficiently into any covering object (image in our case) so no intruder can interpret it by any means. Proposed work is a new design of image watermarking which include pre-processing of cover image with Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). Proposed work using an alphanumeric key which initially modifies the watermark using simple ‘XOR’ operation, and at the receiver end this key must be there so that receiver can extract the watermark.  Proposed work is also using torus Automorphism which initially changes the watermark into a scramble format which cannot be recognised as original watermark.

Keaslian informasi dalam berbagai bentuk dan media tidak lagi terjaga karena setiap orang dapat mengubah dan memodifikasinya untuk kemudian disebarkan kembali. Tanda air (watermarking) dapat diartikan sebagai suatu teknik penyisipan dan atau penyembunyian informasi yang bersifat rahasia pada suatu data lainnya untuk “ditumpangi” (kadang disebut dengan host data), tetapi orang lain tidak menyadari adanya kehadiran data tambahan pada data host-nya (istilah host digunakan untuk data atau sinyal digital yang disisipi), sehingga seolah-olah tidak ada perbedaan berarti antara data host sebelum dan sesudah proses watermarking. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan simulasi algoritma watermarking dengan menyisipkan citra watermark ke citra asli menggunakan Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) dan Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). Penelitian ini menggunakan citra host berwarna sehingga perlu dilakukan proses konversi citra RGB menjadi komponen Y, Cb, dan Cr. Metode DWT-SVD lebih tahan terhadap attack dibandingkan dengan metode DWT. Prosespenyisipan watermark dengan Arnold transform menghasilkan PSNR lebih tinggi dibandingkan tanpa Arnold transform, dimana dengan Arnold transform PSNR = 85.7959 dB, dan tanpa Arnold transform PSNR = 85.3901 dB. Semakin rendah PSNR maka semakin tinggi nilai similarity factor (SF) dan semakin jelas watermark-nya.

The dispersal of digital media due to the fast evolution of networked multimedia systems has created an essential need for copyright prompting technologies that can protect multimedia objects such as text, images, audio and videos from copyright ownership. This paper proposes digital image watermarking algorithm for copyright protection based on discrete wavelet transform, discrete cosine transform and singular value decomposition. In this method a watermark is embedded into the low frequency sub-band of a host image, after subjecting the watermarked image to various attacks like Gaussian noise, rotation sharpening, noise and pepper salt and speckle noise etc., we extract the originally inserted watermark images from LL sub-band by Truncated singular value decomposition and compare them on the basis of their mean square error, peak signal to noise ratio and normalized correlation values. Experimental results are provided to illustrate that the proposed scheme is the robustness of the technique on wide set of attacks.
