In this paper, we proposed a robust watermark scheme for image based on SVD(Singular Value Transform) and Triplet. First, the original image is decomposed by using 3-level DWT, and then used the singular values changed for embedding and extracting of the watermark sequence in LL3 band. Since the matrix of singular values is not easily altered with various signal processing noises, the embedded watermark sequence has the ability to withstand various signal processing noise attacks. Nevertheless, this method does not guarantee geometric transformation(such as rotation, cropping, etc.) because the geometric transformation changes the matrix size. In this case, the watermark sequence cannot be extracted. To compensate for the above weaknesses, a method which uses the triplet for embedding a barcode image watermark in the middle of frequency band is proposed. In order to generate the barcode image watermark, the pattern of the watermark sequence embedded in a LL3 band is used. According to this method, the watermark information can be extracted from attacked images.

In this paper, a digital watermarking method using the WPT (Wavelet Packet Transform) is proposed. The proposed algorithm transforms the input image by using the WPT and inserts the watermark by using the quad-tree algorithm and Cox's algorithm. The experiments for evaluating the performances of the proposed algorithm is carried out by inserting a watermark in each wavelet packet transform step and by inserting a watermark into the lowest frequency domain (LL). As a simulation result, the performance of the insertion of the watermark into the 6 levels of WPT is better than that of other cases. In addition, about $30{\sim}60%$ of all watermarks are inserted into the LL band, the correlation value is improved though the PSNR performance decreases $1{\sim}2dB$.

In this paper we present a technique for detecting cross-reference points that allows improving watermark detect-ability. In general, Harris detector is commonly used for finding salient points. Harris detector is a kind of combined corner and edge detector which is based on neighboring image data distribution, therefore it has some limitation to find accurate salient points after watermark embedding or any kinds of digital attacks. The new method proposed in this paper used not data distribution but geometrical structure of a normalized image in order to avoid pointing error caused by the distortion of image data. After normalization, we constructed pre-specified number of virtual lines from top to bottom and left to right, and several of cross points were selected by a random key. These selected points specify almost same positions with the accuracy more than that of Harris detector after digital attacks. These points were arranged by a random key, and blocks centered in these points were formed. A reference watermark is formed by a block and embedded in the next block. Because same alteration is applied to the watermark generated and embedded blocks. the detect-ability of watermark is improved even after digital attacks.

Digital watermarking has been proposed as a solution to the problem of copyright protection of the multimedia documents. In this paper a new watermarking method for digital images operating in the frequency domain is proposed. In our approach, DCT coefficients of the watermark are added to the low frequency region of the host image, and extract it using the Wiener Filter. Due to the characteristic of the wiener filtering, the watermark is robust to various image processing techniques. Experimental results show that it is possible to reliably extract the watermark without degrading image quality.

디지털 영상의 인증과 무결성을 위한 워터마킹은 fragile 워터마킹을 기반으로 하고 있으며, 워터마크가 삽입된 영상에 대해 삽입된 워터마크와 조작에 의해 변형된 워터마크를 비교함으로써 영상의 변형 여부를 검출할 수 있다. 따라서 스케일링이나 필터링과 같은 영상처리에 의한 변형이 발생할 경우 영상의 인증과 무결성을 위한 워터마크는 쉽게 제거되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 디지털 영상에 대하여 효과적인 변형 검출 방법을 제안한다. 제안 방법에서는 원 영상을 중첩되지 않은 $2{\times}2$ 크기의 블록으로 나누어 각 블록의 하위 2개의 LSB에 워터마크를 삽입하며, 워터마크 삽입으로 인한 영상의 왜곡은 사람의 눈으로 인지할 수 없다. 그리고 워터마크 추출 과정을 통해 워터마크가 삽입된 영상이 변형 되었는지의 여부를 결정할 수 있으며, 실험 결과는 제안 방법의 효율성을 나타내고 있다.

Many digital watermarking methods have been proposed for copyright protection. Especially, methods to add a watermark in the frequency domain are often used. In those methods, only a few components of frequencies are changed according to watermark information, so that the pixel values of the image obtained by the inverse transform sometimes exceed the dynamic range and owing to the clipping process at this time watermark information is changed. This phenomenon even occurs without attacks like image processing. In this paper, we propose two methods to prevent loss of watermark information, applicable to such cases, it is said that one is the method called "inversion of increase and decrease" and another is "conservation of amounts of changes." We can extract the watermark information correctly under the condition of no attacks by using these proposed methods.

본 논문에서는 가시적 워터마크의 삽입으로 저작권 소유자를 명시하고 비가시적 워터마크의 삽입으로 저작권 보호를 할 수 있는 방식을 제안한다. 제안 방식은 저작권의 명시와 보호를 하기 위해 하나의 원본 영상에 두 가지 워터마크를 동시에 삽입한다. 가시적 워터마크의 삽입은 투명도를 높여 원본 영상을 알아보기 쉽게 하였으며, 비가시적 워터마크는 공간영역에 삽입하였다.

In this paper, we proposed digital audio watermarking algorithm for high quality audio. Nowadays, digital watermark used to confirm to digital copyright protection, not only digital image but also digital audio is active in the digital watermarking study. In this paper, we proposed digital audio watermarking algorithm using psychoacoustics model and MDCT/IMDCT (Modified Discrete Cosine Transform/Inverse Modified Discrete Cosine Transform) for the high quality audio watermark. In the proposed scheme, we used to 441KHz, 128kbps and stereo audio data for audio watermarking algorithm. Audio data is passed by MDCT; watermark can be inserted into the frequency domain with 256,1024 and 2048 interval.
