Abstract :In this paper, visible image watermarking based on image fusion with shearlet transform using genetic algorithm is proposed. The proposed method consists of three steps. First of all steps, shearlet transform is separately applied to host image and mark image. Secondly, weighted image fusion rate is determined by using genetic algorithm and fused image is obtained according to optimized image fusion rate. Finally, visible watermarked image is obtained by applying inverse shearlet transform to fused image. Visible watermarked image is assessed by quality metrics and these results show that the proposed method is satisfactory for visible image watermarking based on image fusion with shearlet transform using genetic algorithm.Keywords : Genetic Algorithm, Image Fusion, Image Watermarking, Shearlet Transform
