In this paper, we propose a private digital watermarking method based on a wavelet transform to protect digital contents copyrights. We find out the optimal watermark insertion region and the optimal amount of watermark in order to satisfy robustness and imperceptibility against various attacks such as noise, compression, collusion, clipping, scaling to transfer the contents safely. Through this experiment, we could find out the adequate location of watermark insertion and proper amount of watermark, and transfer the watermarked image safely.

디지털 워터마킹은 디지털 컨텐츠에 정보를 삽입하는 기술이다. 종래의 디지털 워터마킹 기술은 견고성과 비가시성 사이에 트레이드오프 관계를 가지고, 변형 및 노이즈 공격 등에 취약하다. 본 논문에서는 호스트 이미지의 비가시성을 보장하면서 효율적인 공격 탐지와 소유자 식별이 가능한 워터마킹 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 방식은 주파수 분할 기반의 계층적 워터마킹 및 공격 탐지 시그니처 삽입을 통해 비가시성을 보장하며 용량과 견고성 측면에서 종래의 방법보다 향상된 성능을 보였다. 실험 결과에 따르면 종래의 디지털 워터마크가 무력화되는 왜곡 공격 상황에서 공격 탐지 시그니처 검출이 가능하여 워터마크 공격을 탐지하고 소유자를 식별할 수 있었다.

본 논문은 디지털 컨텐츠의 저작권 보호를 위한 공간영역기반 워터마킹을 다루고 있다. 특히, 기존 연구 중 Lee[1]의 방법에서 nonblind 워터마킹의 한계를 확장시켜 원 영상과 워터마크 없이도 삽입된 워터마크를 추출할 수 있는 blind 워터마킹을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 기존기법에서 다루어진 다양한 공격에서 동등이상의 성능을 보이고 있다.

During the design of a successful digital watermarking systems, Pseudo-Noise(PN) sequences are widely used to modulate information bits into watermark signals. In this method, the number of bits that can be hidden within a small image by means of frequency domain watermarking is limited. In this paper, we show the possibility of introducing chaotic sequences into digital watermarking systems as potential substitutes to commonly used PN-sequences. And we propose a method that transforms the text to chaotic sequence. In our current implementation, we show how the sample text is expressed by an implied unit data(watermark) and the implied unit data is regenerated into the original left. Because we use this implied data as watermark for information hiding, we can insert much more watermark compared with previous method.

In this paper, we proposed a digital watermarking method based on the edge-wavelet transform to protect digital contents copyrights. We find out the optimal watermark insertion region and the proper amount of watermark in order to satisfy robustness and imperceptibility against various attacks such as noise, compression, collusion, clipping, scaling. Especially through this experiment, we could find out the adequate location of watermark insertion and proper amount of watermark and it is also viewed to satisfy robustness and imperceptibility in the lower frequency region with small watermark quantity.

본 논문에서는 디지털 영상의 소유권 보호를 위하여 양자화기법과 신경망을 적용하여 기존의 방법보다 강인한 워터마킹 기법을 제안하였다. 제안한 워터마킹 알고리즘은 시간영역에서 양자화 기법을 사용하여 워터마크를 삽입하고 추출하였고, back-propagation neural network(BPN)을 사용하여 워터마크를 검출하였나. 실험결과 압축공격에 강인하며, PSNR이 41dB이상으로서 비가시성을 만족함을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, we proposed a robust watermarking algorithm based on fuzzy inference and human visual system. In the first, discrete wavelet transform(DWT) is involved to calculate additive energy strength, then we devised fuzzy inference, which was established by computing contrast and texture degree in gray-level image. Watermark is embeded into the coefficients of 3-level DWT so as to consider a spatial effects. Visual recognizable patterns such as binary image were used as a watermark Consequently, experimental results showed that proposed algorithm is robust in JPEC compression.

In this paper, We proposed extraction method using EZW a specific character and then add watermark significant coefficient of image. After wavelet transform in image, the significant coefficient value add to watermark information image. In this method, the locations of nonzero wavelet coefficients are encoded with a tree structure, called zerotree, which can exploit the self-similarity of the pyramid decomposition across different scales. The simulation shows that this method provides a superior performance over conventional method and can be successfully applied to the application areas that requires of progressive transmission and search for image data.

Zero-watermarking is a digital watermarking technique that can escape from data distortion and quality degradation by no watermark insertion into digital images to be watermarked. This paper proposes DCT0CRT, a CRT-based zero-watermarking technique in the domain of DCT. One of the DC and low-frequency AC coefficients of each DCT block chosen in chaotic way from an image is selected by testing whether it satisfies the CRT-based condition matching with the watermark bit to be embedded. Such selection information forms a key to extract the watermark from the watermarked image. Experimental results show that the image quality watermarked by DCT0CRT is better than that watermarked by any other CRT-based watermarking techniques and the inserted watermark is robust against some common attacks such as sharpening, blurring, and JPEG lossy compression.

저작권 보호 기술의 하나인 디지털 워터마킹은 디지털 콘텐츠에 삽입되어 저작권 확인 및 증명에 이용될 뿐만 아니라 영상의 위변조 판별에도 이용된다. 즉, 영상이 변조되는 경우 삽입된 워터마크가 변형됨으로써 위변조 여부 및 위변조 영역의 확인도 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같이 영상의 위변조 여부를 판별하기 위한 인증 워터마킹 기법으로 적응적인 양자화 워터마킹 기법을 제안한다. 워터마크 삽입 과정은 영상에 DWT를 수행한 뒤 저주파 영역에 블록 DCT를 수행하여 계수들을 변형시키는 방법으로 수행되며, 이를 위해 원신호의 파워를 고려한 적응적인 양자화 방식을 제안하였다. 실험 결과 제안 방식에 의해 워터마크 삽입된 영상은 화질적으로 원영상과 차이가 없고 압축에 대한 강인성도 우수하여 인증 워터마킹에 적합함을 확인하였다.
