Providing a digital watermarking algorithm using genetic algorithm and SVD

In this paper, a scheme suggested for watermarking of digital images that used a singular value decomposition (SVD) and genetic algorithm. The singular values derived from the SVD are resistant towards image processing attacks such as cutting, noise, rotation and... And have resistant capability. Using SVD, the eigenvalues of the original image extracted and changed using genetic algorithms. Then the process of watermark embedding is carried out. SVD is the ability to be reversed after watermarking, the watermark image from the original image be removed again. The experimental results show that this scheme is resistant against image processing included a montage of previous methods.
