This paper describes a new image watermarking scheme invariant to rotation, scaling and translation (RST) attacks. For obtaining the invariance properties we propose to present an image of watermark by wedges and rings to convert its rotation to shift and then utilize the shift invariance property of the Direct Fourier Transform (DFT). But in contrast to conversional schemes based on the Fourier-Mellin transform (FMT), we do not use a log-polar mapping (LPM). As a result, our scheme preserves high quality of original image since it is not underwent to LPM For withstanding against JPEG compression, noise addition and low-pass (LP) filtering attacks a low frequency watermark is embedded into middle frequencies of the original image. Experiments with various attacks show the robustness of the proposed scheme.

Digital watermarking has gained importance in recent years in copyright protection and multimedia. This paper proposes a secure and novel watermarking system based on complemented Maximum Length Cellular Automata (MLCA) and Two-Dimension Cellular Automata Transform (2D CAT). In this watermarking scheme, the original watermark is first encrypted by complemented MLCA with the private keys, and then the encrypted watermark is embedded into the CAT domain of the cover image, at last use the inverse CAT for the transformed image, the watermarked image is obtained. Experiment results show that this new method is more secure and provides robust performance against watermarking attacks.

Digital watermarking is the technique, which embeds an invisible signal including signal including owner identification and copy control information into multimedia data such as audio, video, and images for copyright protection. A new MPEG watermark embedding algorithm using complex block effect based on the Human Visual System(HVS) is introduced in this paper. In this algorithm, $8{\times}8$ dark blocks are selected, and the watermark is embedded in the DC component of the discrete cosine transform(DCT) by using quantization and modulus calculation. This algorithm uses a blind watermark retrieval technique, which detects the embedded watermark without using the original image. The experimental results show that the proposed watermark technique is robust against MPEG coding, bitrate changes, and various GOP(Group of Picture) changes.

In this paper, we present a watermarking scheme based on the DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform) and the ANN (Artificial Neural Network) to ensure the copyright protection of the digital images. The problem to embed watermark is not clear to select important coefficient in the watermarking. We used the RBF (Radial-Basis Function) to solve the problem. We didn't apply the whole wavelet coefficients, but applied to only the wavelet coefficients in the selected node. Using the ANN, although even the watermark casting process and watermark verification process are in public, nobody knows the location of embedding watermark except of authorized user. As the result, the watermark is good at the strength test-filtering, geometric transform and etc.

Q+-reader, an E-Book reader system for XML based contents is introduced. The system is developed for the embedded platform, called Q+, which targets for the digital home electronics systems. The system supports XML contents and CSS based styling as described in Open e-Book standard. The system renders the e-book contents for users, so the contents are secured for a proper use. This will found an essential part of business infra for electronic books with copyright protection. The system was developed in Java language to be used in various platforms, and has an open architecture to be reusable for other standards as well.

본 논문에서는 디지털 영상의 주파수 대역에 따른 워터마킹의 강인성을 연구하였다. 먼저 영상 데이터를 주파수 대역별로 분리하여 이진 워터마크를 삽입하였다. 그리고 각 대역별로 워터마킹된 영상에 대하여 JPEG 압축을 비롯한 다양한 공격을 시도하여 강인성을 비교하였다 실험결과, 고주파 대역과 저주파 대역에 삽입된 워터마크는 특정한 공격에 대해 추출되지 않는 경우가 있었으며, 워터마킹된 영상의 손상(열화)도 높게 나타났다. 그러나 중주파 대역에 삽입한 워터마크는 모든 공격으로부터 높은 비율의 추출을 보였다. 그리고 워터마킹된 영상의 손실정도도 적은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 워터마크를 삽입할 경우 가능하면 중주파 대역에 삽입하는 것이 유리함을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 원본 이미지에 저작권자의 저작권 정보를 삽입함으로써 저작권을 보호하고 차후 불법적인 도용을 방지하기 위해, 숫자와 로고로 구성된 워터마크 생성, 삽입 및 검출, 검증 시스템을 설계 및 구현한다. 본 시스템은 콘텐츠의 특성과 저작권자의 요구에 따라 워터마크를 숫자 또는 로고로 선택해서 구성할 수 있으며, 디지털 오디오 워터마킹 시스템과 마찬가지로 저작권 보호에 대한 전문지식이 없는 일반관리자도 용이하게 이용할 수 있는 사용자 인터페이스를 갖추도록 설계하였다. 이러한 디지털 이미지 워터마킹의 적용을 통한 소유권 및 저작권 보호는 궁극적으로 문화콘텐츠 등의 콘텐츠 제작 의뢰자로 하여금 제작 의지를 강화하여 제작 의뢰 건수를 증가시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

웹 콘텐츠의 특성상 분배, 복제 및 조작이 용이하기 때문에 원 정보의 저작권 침해로 인한 재산권 침해 피해가 나날이 증가하고 있어, 막대한 비용이 투자된 웹 콘텐츠의 무단도용을 방지하고 분쟁 발생시 소유권에 대한 분쟁을 해결하기 위한 노력이 계속되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 웹 콘텐츠의 소유권 및 저작권 보호를 위한 오디오 콘텐츠에 대한 워터마크 생성, 삽입 및 검출, 검증 시스템을 설계 및 구현한다. 본 시스템은 저작권 보호에 대한 전문지식이 없는 일반관리자도 용이하게 이용할 수 있는 사용자 인터페이스를 갖추고 있으며, 이러한 디지털 오디오 워터마킹의 적용을 통한 소유권 및 저작권 보호는 궁극적으로 콘텐츠 제작 의뢰자로 하여금 제작 의지를 강화하여 제작 의뢰 건수를 증가시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대되어 문화콘텐츠 등의 디지털 콘텐츠 제작업체의 매출 신장에 도움을 주게될 것이다.

Embedding information into video data is a topic that recently gained increasing attention. This paper proposes a new approach for digital watermarking and secure copyright protection of video, the principal aim being to discourage illicit copying and distribution of copyrighted material. The method presented here is based on the three dimensional discrete cosine transform of video scene, in contrast with previous works on video watermarking where each video frame was marked separately, or where only intra-frame or motion compensation parameters were marked in MPEG compressed videos. The watermark sequence used is encrypted, pseudo-noise signal to the video. The performance of the presented technique is evaluated experimentally
