QDCT-Based Blind Color Image Watermarking With Aid of GWO and DnCNN for Performance Improvement

Artificial intelligence (AI) is of great potential for improving the performance of image processing and applications. In this study, we incorporate two AI techniques, namely, the grey wolf optimizer (GWO) and denoising convolutional neural network (DnCNN), within a framework developed based on the...
