Abstract
This article presents a robust image watermarking founded on discrete cosine transform (DCT), bi-dimensional empirical mode decomposition (BEMD) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). In encoding process, DCT coefficient is implemented on original image, and also, the BEMD decomposition is applied to disintegrate the watermark image. For the optimization, PSO is used for complex and multidimensional search. The embedding and scaling factor is embedded through the help of security key. Such a procedure is accompanied by the reverse of IDCT as well as IBEMD. Recovery algorithm is employed to extract the watermark image. The outcome of this technique shows that the suggested technique is robust compared to various different attacks. Therefore, this proposed technique is feasible for the visible quality of watermark image and improves the imperceptibility compared to other techniques.
