Abstract
This paper proposes a new method for tracking image contents, which are re-distributed on the Internet using a web-robot and fingerprinting scheme. The fingerprinting is an extended technique of watermarking and embeds identity of the customer into the content as a fingerprint in a way that is very difficult to erase. The fingerprint in the content can be used widely in the field of the copyright protection technique because it identifies the content itself and includes the information about the original customer. In this paper we discuss an active image tracking system using a web-robot and fingerprinting scheme. In the proposed system the information of the original customer is embedded as a fingerprint into the image content before distribution and also stored into DB. The distributed contents are collected by the web-robot and fingerprinting information is extracted from the contents. Finally the identifying of contents is done by comparing the extracted fingerprint with the selling history of the content.
