Reversible watermarking scheme for medical image based on differential evolution

作者:

Highlights:

• A reversible watermarking method is proposed with wavelet transforms and SVD.

• Signature and logo data are inserted by recursive dither modulation algorithm.

• DE is explored to design the quantization steps optimally.

• Good balance of imperceptibility, robustness and capacity is obtained by DE.

• Experiments show good performance and outperform the related algorithms.
