Abstract

This paper deals with digital watermarking methods to protect ownership of image with targeting the ultra-high multi-view or free-view image service in which an arbitrary viewpoint image should be rendered at the user side. The main purpose of it is not to propose a superior method to the previous methods but to show how difficult to construct a watermarking scheme to overcome the viewpoint translation attack. Therefore we target the images with various attacks including viewpoint translation. This paper first shows how high the error rate of the extracted watermark data from viewpoint-translated image by basic schemes of the method using 2DDCT(2D discrete cosine transform) and the one using 2DDWT(2D discrete wavelet transform), which are for 2D image. Because the difficulty in watermarking for the viewpoint-translated image comes from the fact that we don't know the translated viewpoint, we propose a scheme to find the translated viewpoint, which uses the image and the corresponding depth information at the original viewpoint. This method is used to construct the two non-blind watermarking methods to be proposed. They are used to show that recovery of the viewpoint affect a great deal of the error rate of the extracted watermark. Also by comparing the performances of the proposed methods and the previous ones, we show that the proposed ones are better in invisibility and robustness, even if they are non-blind.

본 논문에서는 사용자 측에서 임의의 시점 영상을 렌더링하여야 하는 초다시점 또는 자유시점 영상서비스를 타겟으로 소유자의 지적재산권을 보호하기 위한 디지털 워터마킹 방법을 다룬다. 본 논문의 주된 목적은 기존방법들에 비해 우수한 방법을 제안하는 것보다는 시점이동 공격을 이겨내는 워터마킹 방법이 얼마나 어려운지를 보이는 것이다. 따라서 대상 영상은 시점이동을 포함한 다양한 공격을 가한 영상이다. 본 논문은 먼저 2D영상에 대한 워터마킹 방법 중 2DDCT(2D discrete cosine transform)를 사용하는 방법과 2DDWT(2D discrete wavelet transform)를 사용하는 방법의 기본적인 scheme으로 시점이동이 추출한 워터마크 데이터의 오차율을 얼마나 높이는 지를 보인다. 시점이동된 영상에 대한 워터마킹의 어려움은 이동된 시점을 모르기 때문이며, 따라서 본 논문에서는 이동된 시점을 찾는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 원시점의 영상과 해당 깊이정보를 사용한다. 또한 이 방법을 사용한 non-blind 워터마킹 방법을 제안하여, 이동된 시점을 복원하는 것이 추출된 워터마크의 오차율에 큰 영향을 미친다는 것을 보인다. 제안한 방법과 기존 방법의 성능을 비교하여, 비록 non-blind 방법이기는 하지만 기존 방법보다 비가시성 및 강인성에서 우수함을 보인다.
