Medical Image(s) Watermarking and its Optimization using Genetic Programming
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2019, Vol 10, Issue 4
Abstract
In this paper, an medical image watermarking technique has been proposed, where intelligence has been incorporated into the encoding and decoding structure. The motion vectors of the medical image sequence are used for embedding the watermark. Instead of a manual selection of the candidate motion vectors, a generalized approach is used to select the most suitable motion vectors for embedding the watermark. Genetic programming (GP) module has been employed to develop a function in accordance with imperceptibility and watermarking capacity. Employment of intelligence in the system improves its imperceptibility, capacity, and resistance toward different attacks that can occur during communication and storing. The motion vectors are generated by applying a block-based motion estimation algorithm. In this work, Full-Search method has been used for its better performance as compared to the other methods. Experimental results show marked improvement in capacity and visual similarity as compared to the conventional approaches.
