Digital Watermarking: A survey on image watermarking in Frequency Domain using Genetic Algorithm

As the technology grows, its effect on our daily life becomes more and more penetrable. The same phenomenon is applied in the field of Digital image processing. As the caliber of images, audios and videos going heighten, the undesirable techniques are also applied to slip, falsify those. Hence the work of watermarking comes into effect. The watermarking technique used to avoid illegal copying of the work by embedding the digital signature or copyright image. Watermarking embeds information in the original image which is indiscernible to the human visual system. The objective of robust watermarking is to maintain the quality of an image, audio and video without affecting its originality. The work furnished in this paper is an effort to provide a survey on the latest technologies that are employed in watermarking technique.
