Abstract

In this paper, we propose a robust watermarking method against geometric attack even though the watermarked image is partially damaged. This method consists of standard image normalization which transforms any image into a predefined standard image and embedding watermark in DCT domain of standard normalized image using spread spectrum technique. The proposed standard image normalization method has an improvement over existing image normalization method, so it is robust to partial damage and geometric attack. The watermark embedding method using spread spectrum technique also has a robustness to image losses such as blurring, sharpening and compressions. In addition, the proposed watermarking method does not need an original image to detect watermark, so it is useful to public watermarking applications. Several experimental results show that the proposed watermarking method is robust to partial damage and various attacks including geometric deformation.

본 논문에서는 워터마크된 영상이 일부 손상되었다 할지라도 기하학적 공격에 강인한 다중 비트 워터마킹 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 임의의 영상을 기 정의된 표준 영상으로 변형하는 표준 영상 정규화 과정과 표준 정규화 영상의 DCT 영역에 대역 확산(spread spectrum) 기법을 이용하여 워터마크를 삽입하는 과정으로 구성되어있다. 제안한 표준 영상 정규화 방법은 기존의 영상 정규화 방법을 개선한 것으로써 부분 손상과 임의 기하학적 공격에 강인한 특성을 가지고 있으며, 대역 확산 기법을 이용한 워터마크 삽입과정은 블러링, 샤프닝, 압축 등과 같은 영상 손실에 강인한 특성을 가지고 있다. 또한 제안한 워터마킹 방법은 워터마크 검출을 위해 원영상이 필요하지 않기 때문에 공개 워터마킹(public watermarking) 응용에 적합하다. 몇 가지 실험을 통해 제안한 워터마킹 방법이 부분 손상 및 기하학적 변형을 포함한 여러 가지 공격에 강인하다는 것을 보여준다.
