主　　题：Fuzzy inference 

摘      要：Images, habits, rituals, beliefs, cultures, information, arts, crafts, music, and artefacts specific to a place are all included in heritage. The cultural, natural and mixed heritage of India is very diverse, complicated, and complex. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) designates various sites of countries as the world heritage sites. The proposed watermarking technique aims to provide the copyright protection to the UNESCO world heritage sites image of India (UWHSII). This proposed method uses the novel and efficient combination of redundant discrete wavelet transform (RDWT) and multi-resolution singular value decomposition (MSVD). In order to balance the robustness and imperceptibility of any watermarking scheme, the scaling factor is essential. Aquila optimization (AO), and fuzzy inference system (FIS) is used to get the optimum scaling factor. The comparative analysis of AO and FIS is also carried out. Internet of cultural things (IoCT)-based real-time authentication is carried out by using the geographical location of sites and secured hash algorithm. To evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme Average peak-signal-to-noise ratio (APSNR), Structural similarity index measure (SSIM), Degree of balance (BD), Universal image quality index (UIQI) and Normalized correlation coefficient (NCC) is used. The average percentage improvement in robustness is 8.96%, and imperceptibility is 54.51%. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2025.
