Mohammad Hassan Vali, Ali Aghagolzadeh, Yasser Baleghi

Abstract: Highlights•The proposed method satisfies all of the watermarking requirements simultaneously.•Scaling factors are optimized using self-adaptive differential evolution algorithm.•Fitness function assures a pre-defined imperceptibility while maximizing robustness.•A verification process is prepared to solve the false positive problem.
