Abstract

Watermark insertion methods on low frequency subbands in wavelet transform image are robust in attacks, but become reduction of invisibility. And watermark insertion methods on high frequency subbands have a good visibility, but are weak in attack. In this paper, we propose the method that improve invisibility and robustness of watermarks according as we adaptively control insertion intensity by using subband characteristics and perceptual weights. Experimental result, we show that the proposed method has excellent of invisibility and robustness more than the conventional method, according as it is improved with $1.7dB{\sim}2.6dB$ in invisibility, and is improved with $0.2{\sim}12.9$ in similarity measurement.

웨이브릿 변환 영상에서 저주파수 대역에 워터마크를 삽입하는 방법은 공격에 견고하지만 비가시성이 저하된다. 그리고 고주파수 대역에 워터마크를 삽입하는 방법은 비가시성이 좋지만 공격에 취약하다. 본 논문에서는 부대역의 특성과 인지가중치를 이용하여 삽입강도를 적응적으로 조절함으로써 워터마크의 비가시성과 견고성을 향상 시키는 방법을 제안한다. 실험 결과, 제안한 방법은 비가시성에서 $1.7dB{\sim}2.6dB$ 향상되고, 유사도 측정에서 $0.2{\sim}12.9$ 향상됨으로써, 기존의 방법에 비해 비기시성 및 견고성이 우수함을 알 수 있다.
