In this article, we present a new DICOM object able to create image-based annotations in DICOM image. Since the proposed image-based annotation uses images themselves of annotation, various types like character, sketch, and scanning image, etc., can be imported into annotation easily. The proposed annotation is inserted into DICOM image directly but they do not influence original DICOM image quality by using independent data channel. The proposed annotation is expected to be very useful to medium and small clinics that cannot afford picture archiving and communication systems or electronic medical record.

In this research, nonvisibility and robustness of image watermarking mixed Key and Logo method were evaluated. The role of the Key was performed by a personal ID of a copyrighter and the logo images were used as the watermark. The standard image of Lena was used for experimental image and binary images of `Park'with size 32${\times}$32 and 64${\times}$64 were used for the watermark, respectively In order to evaluate nonvisibility of the proposed watermarking scheme, PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) of the watermarked image was obtained and for robustness reconstructive rates of the reconstructed watermark were obtained from the watermarked image with image transformation of JPEG lossy compression. The experimental results show that nonvisibility is excellent as PSNR of the watermarked image is 93.75dB and the reconstructive rates of the case of 322${\times}$32 watermark was better than the case of the 64${\times}$64 watermark; average 5.9%, 13.9%, 6.5%, and 4.2% in the case of scale-down rates, rotational rates, impulse noise power density, and JPEG lossy compression rates, respectively.

저작권보호를 목적으로 사용하는 워터마킹 기술은 원본 이미지에 특정 워터마크 정보를 삽입하는데 이러한 경우, 원본이미지는 다시 복구할 수 없다. 의료영상 데이터베이스나 군사용 이미지 시스템과 같은 특정된 응용에서는 이미지 열화가 시스템 전체에 미치는 영향이 크기 때문에 이러한 워터마크 알고리즘을 사용할 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 Hadamard Matrix(HM)을 이용하여 디지털 이미지에 워터마크를 삽입하며, 가역적인 연산에 기초하여 원 이미지의 복구가 가능하도록 워터마크 알고리즘을 개발한다. 본 연구에서는 Hadamard Coefficients의 규칙적인 연관성을 이용하여 2D HM을 알고리즘 개발에 적용한다.

In Generally, a imbedding and extracting is good as watermark using a random dot image. In this paper, when the autostreogram which has some randomness is used watermark image, distortion rate is low and extraction rate is high. Using this quality, when any logo image is transformed to same image domain randomly, distortion rate is low and extraction rate is high, more over the robustness is good in spite of hard clipping.

본 논문은 시각적 워터마크의 삭제나 수정을 방지하기 위해 블록 기반 내용 인증(Block-wise content authentication) 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 원본 이미지와 워터마크 이미지를 사용하여 DCT 기반의 시각적 워터마크(Visible watermark)가 삽입된 이미지로 만든다. 다음, 블록 기반 서명(Block-wise signature)을 삽입하여 JPEG 과 같은 허용 가능한 이미지 조작에서는 정보가 유지되고, 워터마크의 삭제와 같은 악의적인 이미지 조작에는 인증을 허용하지 않는다. 또한 이미지의 조작된 부분을 알 수 있도록 로컬라이제이션(Localization)을 이용하여 조작된 부분의 위치를 파악한 수 있다. Lena를 포함한 여러 표준 영상을 사용하여 실험한 결과, 제안한 방법은 시각적 워터마크에 대한 다양한 공격에서 조작된 위치를 정확하게 표현할 수 있었다. 그리고 Photoshop 7.0의 Quality factor 11인 JPEG-90 압축에서 약 99%의 인증이 가능하였고, 블러링(Blurring)이나 샤프닝(Sharpening)과 같은 기타 공격에서는 각각 51%, 50%로 인증이 허용되지 않았다.

현대 사회에서의 생체인식 기술의 발전을 통해 홍채, 지분 등의 정보를 사용하여 사용자의 신원확인 등이 가능하게 되었으며, 생체정보의 유출/위조 방지에 대한 중요성이 높아지면서 관련 연구가 활발히 이루어 지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 홍체 전체의 이미지에 삽입하거나 동공의 중심에 가까운 DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform)영역에 삽입방법, 동공 중심과 눈매의 영역을 검출하여 거리 및 DC 계수를 통하여 삽입 위치를 선택하는 방법 등 홍채영상 속 워터마크를 삽입하여 유출/위조된 홍채 영상을 검출하는 방법에서의 워터마크 삽입위치에 관한 방법을 연구하고, CASIA Irisimage Database ver 4.0의 워터마크를 삽입하여 NC(Normalized Correlation)의 값을 비교하여 워터마크 삽입 실험을 검증하였다.

The emergence of digital imaging and digital networks has made duplication of original artwork easier. In order to protect these creations, new methods for signing and copyrighting visual data are needed. In the last few years, a large number of schemes have heen proposed for hiding copyright marks and other information in digital image, video, audio and other multimedia objects. In this paper, we propose a technique for embedding the watermark of visually recognizable patterns into the frequency domain of images. The embedded watermark can be retrieved from the decoded sequence witbout knowledge of the original. Because the source image is not required to extract the watermark, one cannot make the fake original that is invertible to watermarking scheme from the waternlarked image. In order to recover the embedded signature data without knowledge of the original, a prediction of the original value of the pixel containing the information is needed. The prediction is based on a averaging of amplitude values in a neighborhood around the pixel itself. Additionally the projxJsed technique could survive several kinds of image processings including JPEG lossy compression.

In this paper, the multiwatermarking method to make it possible to the authentication, modification detection and copyright protection of the digital image was proposed. After the original image is transformed by the DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform), the encrypted watermark information is embedded into the LSB(Least Significant Bit) of LL band on the low frequence domain for authenticating and detecting modified position in the image. And watermark information is embedded by exchanging the wavelet coefficient for the copyright protection. Thereby, we can authenticate the modification and detect the modified location by extracting the values of LSB on the low frequence domain. And we can perceive the copyright information of original image by extracting the embedded watermark on the high frequence domain.
