Abstract
In recent, watermarking technology have been paying attention to methods avoiding illegal use and reproduce of digital contents. Then, in order to protect the right of digital contents, a watermark image is inserted into original images. In different watermarking methods, several technologies using Ant Colony Algorithm have been studied. In this paper, we propose a watermarking method using a discrete optimization method in the ants colony algorithm. This proposed method resembls the process that ants follow the pheromone traps to find out food. And when a watermark image is inserted into original images, the proposed method considers the deployment of obstacles or the balance between cells in the entire digital image. Simulation results show that the proposed method is increased in robustness of watermarked image and is decreased in the perceptibility of watermarking compared to the previous methods.
