In this research, a watermarking scheme for multimedia content service under the mobile envrionment is proposed. The proposed watermarking scheme that adds robustness to the errors occured in the mobile envrionment existing the pathloss, fading, interference and noise was designed. In case of the multimedia content service under the mobile envrionment, Possible methods for important matters to be considered for the copyright protection, construction of the watermark and position of insertion and detection are also proposed. It is observed that a watermark is composed of information of the mobile user Insertion and detection of the watermark is implemented with CDMA technique in the frequency region.

In this paper, we propose a forensic watermarking scheme using temporal differences of video chrominance values. Proposed method has low complexity and good visual quality, which is suitable for traitor tracing of digital cinema. Experimental results show that our forensic watermarking method has good detection performance and is robust to several attacks, such as camcorder recording and video 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.

Digital image watermarking is the method that can protect the copyright of the image by embedding copyright information, which is called watermark. Watermarking must have robustness to intentional or unintentional data changing, called attack. The conventional watermarking schemes are robust to waveform attacks such as image compression, filtering etc. However, they are vulnerable to geometrical attacks such as rotation, scaling, translation, and cropping. Accordingly, this paper proposes new watermarking scheme that is robust to geometrical attacks by using invariant centroid. Invariant centroid is the gravity center of a central area in a gray scale image that remains unchanged even when the image is attacked by RST including cropping and proposed scheme uses invariant centroids of original and inverted image as the template. To make geometrically invariant domain, template and angle compensated Log -Polar Map(LPM) is used. Then Discrete Cosine Transform(DCT) is performed and the watermark is embedded into the DCT coefficients. Futhermore, to prevent a watermarked image from degrading due to interpolation during coordinate system conversion, only the image of the watermark signal is extracted and added to the original image. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme is especially robust to RST attacks including cropping.

The existing watermarking techniques for copyright protection of a digital image are fragile in geometric distortion and it is hard to detect whether it was manipulated artificially. In this paper, we proposed the new copyright protection system that can authorize a digital mage and :an embed or extract a robust watermark in a artificial manipulation in order to solve these problems. In a watermarking part, the proposed a watermarking technique embeds a watermark in a phase component after a Complex Wavelet Transform (CWT) with an original image, and a watermark is extracted from an watermarked image by stages. A copyright about an image can be insisted on than a threshold after comparing a correlation of an original watermark with an extracted watermark if large. In an authentication part of a digital image, EZW (Embedded Zerotree Wavelet) is used, and an authentication cord of an watermarked image is generated. An authentication code of an image to have been distribute to is compared with a generated authentication cord, and artificial operation isn´t than a threshold if large. The proposed copyright protection system through performance evaluation display that it was robust in geometric distortion and a artificial operation was able to be detected.

인터넷을 통한 멀티미디어의 유통이 광범위하게 이루어지면서 저작권 보호에 대한 요구가 점점 높아지고 있다. 디지털 워터마키을 저작권보호를 위한 DRM의 수단으로 사용하는 시도도 있어왔다. 특히, 비디오 매체에 대한 워터마킹이 현실적으로 가장 효과적이고 현실적이다. MPEG 압축 비디오를 이용하는 방송환경의 워터마킹 기술은 많은 연구가 되어지고 있지만 실제 STB(Set Top Box)에서 동작하는 워터마킹 기술은 아직 일반적이지 못하다. 본 논문에서는 서버(방송국) 및 클라이언트(STB)에서 제공자와 이용자의 정보를 각각 삽입하는 다중 워터마킹 구조를 제안한다. STB에서는 비디오 스트림 수신 후 제공자의 정보(서버 워터마크)를 검출 및 확인 후 인증 시 비디오카드를 통하여 모니터 및 장치들로 비디오신호를 전송하게 된다. 이때 STB의 정보를 포함한 클라이언트 비디오 워터마크를 삽입함으로서 2차적 저작권보호를 시도하게 된다. 이러한 기술은 IPTV 환경에서 발생할 수 있는 멀티미디어의 불법 사용에 대한 저작권보호의 수단으로 사용하는 것이 가능하다.

Recently, on the internet, we need the protection methods of digital contents. To Protect web contents, we inserted a visible watermark but it could be removed easily and covered some place of original contents. In this paper, we proposed a logo detection algorithm that it insert an invisible logo watermark and extract after attacks. Previous works, it didn't show clearly. Experimental results show that it can be extracted all logo images after an attack. And it is proved that proposed scheme is an appropriate algorithm.

고도 정보화 사회의 발전에 따라 멀티미디어의 발달, 그리고 인터넷의 보급으로 인하여 멀티미디어 정보의 지적 소유권 보호를 목적으로 영상 데이터에 기밀정보를 삽입하는 정보 은닉에 관한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 정보 은닉의 한 방법인 디지털 워터마킹 기술은 크게 화소 값에 직접 정보를 삽입하는 공간 영역(spatial domain) 기반 워터마킹과 주파수 영역으로 변환하여 정보를 삽입하는 주파수 영역(frequency domain)기반 워터마킹으로 나눌 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 영상의 디지털 데이터를 FFT에 의해 주파수 영역으로 변환하여 인간의 시각으로는 지각할수 없는 주파수 영역에 워터마크를 삽입한 후, 무결성의 정도를 측정하여 워터마크를 검출하는 주파수 영역기반(frequency domain based) 디지털 워터마킹 기법을 제안한다.

This paper proposes an 3D face image watermarking method based on discrete wavelet transform(DWT). First, 3D face image are transformed by DWT and inserted gaussian watermark into frequency domain. To increase the robustness and perceptual invisibility of watermark, the proposed algorithm is combined with the characteristics of 3D face image and human visual system. The proposed method is invisible and blind watermarking which the original image is not required. Simulation results show that the proposed method is robust to the general attack such as JPEG compression, enhancement, noise, cropping, and filtering etc.
