Abstract

Digital watermarking has been recently proposed as the means of intellectual property right protection of multimedia data. We present a novel watermarking scheme to hide a copyright information in a digital image. The method Is based on the 2D DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform) and image statistics. Gaussian and Laplacian noises as the watermarks are added to the large wavelet coefficients at the high and middle frequency bands in the wavelet domain. Experimental results show that the proposed Laplacian watermark is stronger to several common image distortions, such as noises, JPEG coding as different qualities, Gaussian blurring, and edge enhancement.

디지털 워터마킹은 멀티미디어 데이터의 저작권 보호 목적으로 최근에 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 디지털 영상에 저작권 정보를 은닉하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 2차원 이산 웨이브릿 변환과 영상의 통계적 특성에 기반한다. 가우시안이나 라플라시안 워터마크를 웨이브릿 영역에서 중간이나 고주파 대역의 큰 계수에 삽입한 결과 라플라시안 워터마크는 잡음, JPEG 압축, 가우시안 블러링 그리고 에지 강조와 같은 일반적인 영상 왜곡에 매우 강함이 입증되었다.
