본 논문에서는 임의의 모양을 가지는 영상 객체(image object)에 적용 가능한 모양적응 이산변환(PSADT : Polar coordinates shape adaptive discrete transform)에 기반한 새로운 워터마킹 기법을 제안한다. 대수-극 좌표계(log-polar coordinates)와 모양적응 이산변환을 이용하여 제안된 기법은 MPEG-4의 VOP와 같은 임의의 모양을 가지는 영상 객체에 적용할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 기존 기법에 비하여 회전과 크기 변화와 같은 기하학적인 공격에 대하여 우수한 강인성을 제공한다.

In this paper, we propose a new image-watermarking scheme lot arbitrarily shaped object based on Polar coordinates Shape Adaptive Discrete Transform (PSADT). Using log-polar coordinates conversion and shape adaptive discrete transform, the proposed watermarking method can be applied to any arbitrarily shaped image-object such as MPEG-4 VOP and is much more robust to geometrical attacks such as rotation and scaling than the conventional methods.

This paper presents a new watermarking scheme that is robust against geometrical attacks such as translation and rotation. The proposed method is based on the conventional PSADT(Polar Coordinates Shape Adaptive Discrete Transform) method which is an robust watermarking scheme for an arbitrarily-shaped image such as character images. The PSADT method shows perfect robustness against geometrical attack if there is no change in the shape of the image object. However, it cannot be utilized to watermark general rectangular images because of the missing alignment between the watermarked signals in the embedding and extracting side. To overcome this problem we propose a new watermarking scheme that aligns the watermark signal using the image inherent feature, especially corner. Namely the proposed method decides a consistent target region whose shape and position isn't changed by any malicious attack and then embeds the watermark in it using the PSADT method. Experimental results show the robustness of the proposed method against geometrical attacks as well as image compression.
