Digital watermarks have recently been proposed for the purposes of copyright ptotechtion and autheutication for multimedia contents. A watermarking technique consists of an algorithm that incorporates a watermarking structure into an image in the spatial or frequency domains. In this paper we proposed a new watermarking method for authentication and integrity of digital images and the proposed algorithm uses the MD5 hash funiction and a symmetric key encryption algorithm. To decide the position of embedding watermark and the bit pasitionin the original image, the secret key is used as an input of the MD5 hash function. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has the advantage of difficulty to find positions of inserted watermarks, and keep the similar watermarked image quabty with Wong's method.

In this paper, as a digital watermark we propose to use a chaotic sequence instead of the conventional Gaussian sequence. It is relatively easy to generate the chaotic sequence and is very sensitive to the change of initial value. The chaotic sequence adopted in this paper is a modified version of logistic map to give the sequence distribution of Chebyshev map. In the experiments, we applied the Gaussian sequence and chaotic sequence to wavelet coefficients of images to compare the similarity distribution. The results show that, as id the DCT-based watermarking system, the chaotic sequence is robust for various signal processing attacks, Moreover, the similarity variance is smaller than the Gaussian sequence for iterative experiments. It also shows a better performance for compression errors than the Gaussian sequence.

디지틸워터마킹은 디지털콘텐츠의 저작권보호 솔루션으로서 현재 주로 이미지, 오디오, 비디오, 텍스트 등을 대상으로 연구되고 있다. 컴퓨터 하드웨어, 네트워크, 그리고, 응용 소프트웨어의 빠른 발전과 함께 국가 차원의 초고속 통신망의 인프라 구축에 힘입어, 3차원 폴리곤과 곡선 및 곡면에 대한 디지털워터마킹에 관심이 높아지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 유리 베지에곡선에 대한 디지털워터마킹에 대한 하나의 방법을 제시한다. 기존의 베지에곡선의 차수를 증가시키는 일반적인 방법이 아닌 유리항의 분모와 분자에 공통의 다항식을 곱하여 차수를 증가시킨다. 이때 공통으로 칠하는 다항식의 관들의 복비(cross ratio) 값에 우리가 숨기고자하는 마크를 삽입하고, 추출해내는 방법을 제시한다. 본 논문에서 제시된 알고리듬은 워터마크를 삽입하는 과정에서 곡선의 형태를 전혀 변화시키지 않는 형태 유지성(shape preserving property)을 갖는다. 또한. 본 알고리듬의 다른 중요한 특징은 곡선이 CAD 시스템에 의해 이용되는 과정에서 흔히 일어나는 재매개화 방법 중 뫼비우스 변환을 이용한 재매개화에 저항성이 있는 알고리듬이라는 것이다. 마지막으로 본 연구에서 제시한 방범에 의한 예제의 결과를 보여준다.

In this paper, a novel watermarking technique that based on wavelet packet transform using PIM is proposed for the copyright of the digital images. We divide wavelet packet coefficients into detailed blocks and calculate the complexity of each block using PIM. Because human is impervious to the change in the complex area, the embedding watermark to the selected coefficients using PIM enhances invisibility. From the experimental results, the proposed algorithm shows better invisibility and robustness performance in a general signal processing such as JPEG and SPIHT lossy compression, median filtering. Especially, it demonstrates better performance for the low bit-rate compression in the images that include many high frequency components.

In this paper, we propose a digital watermarking method using Multi-resolution Characteristic of 2D CAT (2D cellular automata transform). Firstly, we select the gateway values to generate a basis function and the basis function transforms images into cellular automata space. Then, we embed the random bit sequence as watermark in specific parts of cellular automata transform coefficients. The proposed method not only verifies higher fidelity than the existing method but also stronger stability on JPEG lossy compression, filtering, sharpening and noise through tests for robustness. Moreover, the proposed scheme allows only one 2D CAT basis function per gateway value. Since there are $2^{96}$ possible gateway values.

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.

다양한 워터마킹 방식 중 m-sequence 기반 방식은 일반적으로 상관 관계를 이용한 다른 시퀀스 기반 방식에 비해 노이즈에 취약하고, 블러링에 안정성이 떨어진다는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위해 블러링과 gaussian noise 에 안정성을 가지는 watermark 인코더와 디코더의 알고리듬을 제안한다. 인코더에는 히스토그램 평활화 과정을 추가하고 디코더에는 샤프닝 필터를 추가하여 실험을 진행했고, 결과적으로 워터마크의 복원율이 개선되었다.

We show that image make converts of multiplex resolution using wavelet transform algorithm. To evaluate the robustness, we have measured comparison of similarity using various sequences which is inserted important coefficient of middle frequency band. The wavelet transform is advantage that it has a special quality of frequency domain and a special quality of spatial domain. As result of experiments, it is to certify that The chaos sequence similarity is higher than other sequence. So the chaos sequence will be used for watermark sequence.

Image watermarking schemes are researched in the field of digital watermarking for multimedia data copyright protection, but color image watermarking scheme is a little bit insufficient. In this paper, we analyzed HSI channel analysis in color models for effective image watermarking. Simulation results are satisfied with invisibility and correlation from the extracted watermark.
