In this paper we propose a new watermarking technique for copyright protection of images. The proposed technique is based on a spatial masking method with a spatial scale parameter. In general it becomes more robust against various attacks but with some degradations on the image quality as the amplitude of the watermark increases. On the other hand it becomes perceptually more invisible but more vulnerable to various attacks as the amplitude of the watermark decreases. Thus it is quite complex to decide the compromise between the robustness of watermark and its visibility. We note that watermarking using the spread spectrum is not robust enought. That is there may be some areas in the image that are tolerable to strong watermark signals. However large smooth areas may not be strong enough. Thus in order to enhance the invisibility of watermarked image for those areas the spatial masking characteristics of the HVS(Human Visual System) should be exploited. That is for texture regions the magnitude of the watermark can be large whereas for those smooth regions the magnitude of the watermark can be small. As a result the proposed watermarking algorithm is intend to satisfy both the robustness of watermark and the quality of the image. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is robust to image deformations(such as compression adding noise image scaling clipping and collusion attack).

In this paper, we propose a blind watermarking algorithm of 3d mesh model using spherical parameterization. Spherical parameterization is a useful method which is applicable to 3D data processing. Especially, orthogonal coordinate can not analyse the feature of the vertex coordination of the 3D mesh model, but this is possible to analyse and process. In this paper, the centroid center of the 3D model was set to the origin of the spherical coordinate, the orthogonal coordinate system was transformed to the spherical coordinate system, and then the spherical parameterization was applied. The watermark was embedded via addition/modification of the vertex after the feature analysis of the geometrical information and topological information. This algorithm is robust against to the typical geometrical attacks such as translation, scaling and rotation. It is also robust to the mesh reordering, file format change, mesh simplification, and smoothing. In this case, the this algorithm can extract the watermark information about $90{\sim}98%$ from the attacked model. This means it can be applicable to the game, virtual reality and rapid prototyping fields.

생체 정보를 도용하기 어렵다는 장점에도 불구하고 생체 인증시스템이 그 자체로 안전한 것은 아니다. 생체정보를 위조하기는 어렵지만 손상되기는 쉽기 때문이다. 본 논문은 생체 정보로부터 생성된 초기 값을 이용하여 생체정보의 무결성을 보장하는 생체 인증시스템을 제안한다. 실험 결과 카드 소유자를 소유자로 인식한 확률은 최적 파라미터 하에서 약 96%정도였으며, 비소유자를 소유자로 오인한 확률은 0%였다. 학습에 참여한 비소유자 뿐만 아니라, 학습에 참여하지 않은 비소유자도 100% 기각을 하여 소유자 검증에 놓은 신뢰도를 보였다.

In this paper, we have introduced a new watermarking method using the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). This method has two features. Firstly the trade-off between the quality and the robustness, and between the quality and the capacitance can be controlled. Next, this method use different scheme according to the watermarks. We have also implemented numerical examples for several kinds of attack. It is found that watermarking method in this paper is robust to above attacks.

In this paper, we propose a robust audio watermarking method. The proposed watermarking algorithm is composed of a psychoacoustic model to achieve perceptual transparency and spread spectrum technique to embed watermark. The watermark is embedded in each audio frame by adding a perceptually-shaped pseudo-random sequence. We demonstrate the robustness of the watermarking algorithm.

In this paper, we consider the problem of digital audio watermarking to robust about compression without original audio data. We specifically address the audio watermarking using BPSK with variable carrier frequency. This technique make audio data embeded watermarking robust with compression attack, for example MPEG, AC-3, etc.

본 연구는 디지털 이미지 데이터에 대한 창작자의 저작권 보호 기술인 watermarking 기술을 연구하였다. 저작권 보호를 위한 정보를 invisible watermark로 삽입하였고, watermarking된 칼라 이미지를 데이터 압축, Filtering, cropping 등과 같은 여러가지 외부 공격에 대한 내구성을 실험하였다. invisible watermark를 삽입하기 위하여 변형된 주파수 변환기법을 이용하였으며, 기존의 PRN(pseudo random number) 방법보다 가시성이 뛰어난 이미지 형태의 로고를 삽입하여 저작권에 대한 확증성을 제고하였다.

In this Paper, we Present a method for embedding digital watermarks into digital audio signals. The watermarking must be imperceptible and should be robust to attacks, such as filtering and compression etc. In our method, we adaptively embedded the watermarks changing the scale factor using the spread spectrum and MPEG-2 AAC psychoacoustic model.
