Watermarking Algorithm Based on Image Projection and Genetic Algorithm

Abstract

This research has included developing the method of concealment in images the projection method. The secret message was first encryption into a binary string, and then the projection method is applied to the original image's cover as it produces a set of pixels determined by the method, which is hidden in the way of the Least Significant Bit (LSB) cell within certain locations, and then after it The genetic algorithm(GA) that works randomly to get the best generation of concealment has been applied, as it ensures the confidentiality of the information and improves the concealment that enables us to get the best value for Peak Signal to Noise Ratio(PNSR). The PSNR, Bit Error Rate (BER), Mean Square Error (MSE), Average Difference (AD), Maximum Difference (MD), Peak Mean Square Error (PMSE), Normalized Cross-Correlation (NK), Structural Content (SC), Laplacian Mean Square Error (LMSE), Normalized Absolute Error (NAE) and Robustness Test (BER) standards were adopted to achieve results that are effective and efficient. The application is implemented with NetBeans8.2 software support
