In this paper, we propose an efficient watermarking algorithm using block indexing. The proposed algorithm is a novel blind watermarking scheme using the indexed watermark value based on the spread spectrum method. The watermark insertion is allocated into index value of each block after dividing original image into sub-blocks. The watermark embedded in mappinged with index values of blocks, And the mappinged blocks convert to DCT and then the PN sequence embedded to middle frequency band. Consequently the watermark is expressed by index value of sub-blocks. The watermark extracted from the correlation of between PN sequence and watermarked image. Experimental results demonstrate that the watermarked image has a good quality in terms of imperceptibility and is robust against various attacks.

본 논문에서 얼굴과 홍채 데이터를 사용하여 다중생체시스템에 기반한 스테가노그라피 구현을 제안한다. 이를 위해, 얼굴과 홍채 인식 기반의 다중생체인식을 구성하였다. 여기서, 홍채의 특징벡터는 디지털 워터마킹 기법을 이용하여 얼굴 이미지 안에 숨기게 된다. 얼굴과 홍채의 인식시스템은 퍼지집합 이론과 LDA 기법이 결합하여 확장한 Fuzzy-LDA(Fuzzy-Based Linear Discriminant Analysis)기법을 제안한다. 최종적으로 디지털 워터마킹 기법을 적용하여 얼굴이미지 안에 홍채 정보를 삽입하고 얼굴 데이터와 홍채 데이터를 통한 다중생체인식을 구성하였으며, 최종적으로 생체데이터 인식율의 ROC 곡선을 통해 제안된 워터마킹 기법의 좋은 성능을 확인하였고, 얼굴 인식율을 통해 워터마킹된 얼굴 영상과 원본 얼굴 영상을 비교하였다. 다양한 실험을 통해 제안된 기법이 다중생체시스템을 보호하고 효과적으로 사용 될 수 있음을 확인 할 수 있다.

We propose a blind watermarking method that embeds a binary pseudo-random sequence (watermarks), (-1, 1), into wavelet dc components, while most watermarking techniques embed watermarks in the middle frequency range for robustness and fidelity. In our scheme, the watermarks are embedded into particular locations to be selected by a key, where some watermark embeddings are skipped to avoid severe degradation in quality. Our robustness is compared to some results registered to the ChechMark [1] that is one of the most popular benchmarking tools.

The infectious information hiding system(IIHS) is proposed for secure distribution of high quality video contents by applying optimized watermark embedding and detection algorithms to video codecs. And the watermark as infectious information is transmitted while target video is displayed or edited by codecs. This paper proposes a fast and effective reversible watermarking and infectious information generation for IIHS. Our reversible watermarking scheme enables video decoder to control video quality and watermark strength actively for by adding control code and expiration date with the watermark. Also, we designed our scheme with low computational complexity to satisfy it's real-time processing in a video codec, and to prevent time or frame delay during watermark detection and video restoration, we embedded one watermark and one side information within a macro-block. Experimental results verify that our scheme satisfy real-time watermark embedding and detection and watermark error is 0% after reversible watermark detection. Finally, we conform that the quality of restored video contens is almost same with compressed video without watermarking algorithm.

Medical images are being managed more by PACS in general medical institutions. It is important to protect patients from being invaded their privacy related to the images. It is also necessary to confirm the ownership, the right of property of the medical images and notice whether the data are modified. In this paper, we propose a robust watermarking against RST attacks in medical images on the PACS. The proposed scheme modifies and improves Log-Polar Mapping and Fourier Mellin Transform in order to realize and recover serious image degradation and watermark data loss caused by the conversion between cartesian coordinate and log-polar coordinate. We used the radius and theta Look Up Table to solve the realization of the Fourier Mellin Transform, and inserted a watermark into 2D-DFT magnitudes using Spread Spectrum. Experimental results shows that this method are robust to rotation attack.

The digital watermark is one of important techniques to solve copyright authentication problems of digital media. Researches on the digital watermark are rapidly increasing in various media. The watermark system can resist some attacks such as signal attack, geometric attack and protocol attach. However, so far the robustness of the watermark needs to be improved. This paper suggests a watermarking technique with which a watermark is embedded on a coefficient of wavelet-based frequency band and extracted from it for protection of property rights and authentication of Blackfin processor-based digital sound. By carrying out hardware implementation of the suggested sound watermarking, the commercialization of protection of property rights and robustness of watermarks resulted from development of high-level programs can be confirmed.

In this paper, a technique for securely concealing the watermark, which is intellectual property information, in the image pixel LSB using spatial encryption is proposed. The proposed watermarking technique can be effectively used to protect intellectual property of images. The proposed technique can be used to extract watermark without loss from the stego-image, which is a hidden image of spatially encrypted watermark. The experimental results confirmed the superiority of the proposed technique. As a result of performing watermarking using the proposed technique, the image quality of the stego-image is higher than 51 dB, so humans cannot visually recognize the presence of a watermark. Due to the watermark is spatially encrypted, the security of the watermark is excellent.

일반적으로 디지털 컬러 영상의 워터마킹 구현방법은 기존의 워터마킹 방법을 RGB 컬러 성분에 대해 각각 적용하였기 때문에 컬러 영상의 특성을 충분히 고려하지 못했다. 그러나 인간의 시각 체계(HVS : Human Visual System)의 특성을 이용하면 컬러 영상에 더욱 효과적으로 워터마크를 삽입할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 다해상도 이산 웨이브렛 변환 영역에서의 인간의 시각 체계의 특성을 이용한 컬러 영상 워터마킹 방법을 제안하였다.
