A color image watermarking scheme based on artificial immune recognition system

This study suggests a novel watermarking technique that uses artificial immune recognition system to protect color image's intellectual property rights. The watermark is embedded in the blue channel of a color image. m-bit binary sequence embedded into the color image is used to train artificial immune recognition system. With this composed technique, extracting the watermark which is embedded into the color image is carried out using artificial immune recognition system. It is observed that the composed technique achieves high performance to process of extracting this watermark. The watermark is extracted successfully from the watermarked image after various image processing attacks as well.
