Abstract

In this paper, multi-watermarking algorithm is proposed to satisfy two purpose of ownership protection and tamper proofing simultaneously. At first, for robust watermarking, the location of the embedding wavelet coefficient is selected by using existing QSWT algorithm. And then, we propose the method inserting discrete cosine transformed watermark. The watermarked image is watermarked again for the tamper proofing. The tamper proofing algorithm is also proposed. According to the experimental results, the proposed multi-watermarking algorithm is robust to the attack, such as blurring, sharpening, JPEG compression. And also, the tampered area are detected in blocks, making it simple to judge which pixels are changed.

본 논문에서는 소유권 보호와 변질검증이라는 두 가지 목적을 동시에 만족시키기 위한 다중 워터마킹 알고리즘을 제안한다. 먼저 강인한 워터마킹을 위해 기존의 QSWT 알고리즘을 이용하여 웨이블릿 계수에 워터마크가 삽입될 위치를 정한 후, 워터마크 영상을 DCT변환하여 삽입하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 다음으로, 워터마킹된 영상은 다시 변질검증을 위해 또 다시 워터마킹된다. 변질검증을 위한 알고리즘도 본 논문에서 새롭게 제안한다. 실험결과에 의해 제안한 다중 워터마킹 알고리즘은 blurring, sharpening 및 JPEG 압축 등의 공격에 강인함을 보인다. 또한 변질검증 워터마킹 기법에 의해 변질된 영역을 쉽게 판별하였다.
