초록

In this paper, authentication technologies for X-ray inspection images in container merchandises are introduced and a method of authentication for X-ray inspection images is proposed. Until now, X-ray images of container merchandises have been managed without any authentication of inspection results and environments, it means that there was no any action for protection of illegal copy and counterfeiting of X-ray images from inspection results. Here, authentication identifies that who did inspect container X-ray images and, whether the container X-ray images were counterfeited or not. Our proposed algorithm indicates to put important information about X-ray inspection results on an X-ray image without affecting quality of the original image. Therefore, this paper will be useful in determining an appropriate technology and system specification for authentication of X-ray inspection images. As a result of experiment, we find that the information can be embedded to X-ray image without large degradation of image quality. Our proposed algorithm has high detection ratio by Quality 20 of JPEG attack.
