The trade-off between the imperceptibility and robustness is one of the most challenges in digital watermarking system. To solve the problem, a digital image watermarking implementation of evolutionary algorithm in the discrete wavelet domain is presented. In the proposed scheme, the watermark is embedded in the vertical subband (
HL
m
) coefficients in wavelet domain. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm based on Particle Swarm Optimization is performed to train scaling factors to accomplish maximum the watermark strength while decrease the visual distortion. From experimental results, it demonstrates the robustness and the superiority of the proposed hybrid scheme.
