Abstract

A robust watermarking algorithm is proposed for 3D mesh models. Watermark is inserted into the 2D image which is extracted from the target 3D model. Each Pixel value of the extracted 2D image represents a distance from the predefined reference points to the face of the given 3D model. This extracted image is defined as “range image” in this paper. Watermark is embedded into the range image. Then, watermarked 3D mesh is obtained by modifying vertices using the watermarked range Image. In extraction procedure, the original model is needed. After registration between the original and the watermarked models, two range images are extracted from each 3D model. From these images. embedded watermark is extracted. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is robust against the attacks such as rotation, translation, uniform scaling, mesh simplification, AWGN and quantization of vertex coordinates.

본 논문에서는 3차원 메쉬 모델에 적용되는 강인한 워터마킹 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리듬에서 워터마크는 3차원 모델로부터 추출된 2차원 영상에 삽입된다. 이 2차원 영상의 화소 값은 정해진 기준점들로부터 3차원 모델의 표면까지의 거리이며, 이를 거리 영상이라 한다. 워터마크는 거리 영상에 삽입되며, 워터마크된 거리 영상을 이용하여 3차원 모델의 꼭지점 좌표를 변경하면 워터마크가 삽입된 3차원 모델을 얻는다. 워터마크의 추출은 워터마크가 삽입된 모델로부터 거리영상을 얻고, 이 영상에서 워터마크를 추출한다. 워터마크 추출에는 원본 모델이 필요하며 원본과의 정합이 필요하다. 실험을 통해 제안하는 알고리듬이 회전, 병진, 비례조절, 가우스 잡음, 메쉬 간략화, 꼭지점 양자화에 강인함을 확인하였다.
