description This paper presents a new watermarking method to improve the robustness and transparency of extracted and host images. The embedding process is based on decomposing of pyramidal directional filter bank and triangular matrix, while the watermark extraction process is based on Mamdani fuzzy logic. In this design, in order to obtain efficient robustness and transparency, the Harris hawks optimization algorithm is used to find the best value of embedding factor. For this purpose, in the embedding algorithm, pyramid directional filter bank decomposition is utilized and accordingly the approximation sub-bands are divided into 8*8 non-overlapping blocks. Moreover, by decomposing the triangular matrix, which embeds the watermark bits in the matrix element, the use of Mamdani implication and the product inference engine have led to an efficient watermark extraction. The simulation results show that the quality of the watermarked image is equal to 60.6dB. Furethermore, applying the proposed algorithm is strong against attacks.
