We propose a new watermarking method to embed a label in a video which is robust against the change of the group of picture. The proposed method embeds labels in the pixel domain, but detects the label in the DCT frequency domain. For embedding a label, the size of watermark based on the human visual system is calculated to keep a quality of videos. A lookup table haying the pixel patterns and the sequences of a sign of DCT coefficients is used for detecting a label in the DCT frequency domain. In this paper, we analyze bit error rates for labels of videos compressed by MPEG2 using the central limit theorem and compare the simulation results with previous methods.

This paper propose a digital watermarking method for digital contents which satisfies both the invisibility and the robustness to attacks to prohibit counterfeiting, modification, illegal usage and illegal re-production of video contents. This watermarking algorithm insert a watermark(digital hologram) by generated using Fresnel transform which improve the robustness. The inserting positions of the watermark choose by considering the frequency property of an image and a watermark. Also the amount of watermarking for watermark bit decide by considering the level of 2DDWT. This algorithm was implemented by C++ and experimented for invisibility and robustness with optical system. The experiment results showed that the method satisfied enough the invisibility of the inserted watermark and robustness against attacks. For the general attacks, the error rate of the extracted watermark was less than 15%, which is enough in robustness against the attacks.

We present new digital watermarking scheme that embeds a watermark according to the characteristics of the image or video. The scheme is compatible with established image compression standard. We define a weighting function using a parent-child structure of the DCT coefficients in a block to embed a maximum watermark. The spatio-frequency localization of the DCT coefficients can be achieved with this structure. In the detection stage, we present an optimum a posteriori threshold with a given false detection error probability based on the statistical analysis. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is efficient and robust against various signal processing techniques. Especially, they are robust against widely used coding standards, such as JPEG and MPEG.

Recently, according to the number of internet in widely use and the development of the related application program, the distribution and use of multimedia content(text, images, video, audio etc.) is very easy. Digital signal may be easily duplicated and the duplicated data can have same quality of original data so that it is difficult to warrant original owner. For the solution of this problem, the protection method of copyright which is encipher and watermarking. Digital watermarking is used to protect IP(Intellectual Property) and authenticate the owner of multimedia content. In this paper, the proposed watermarking algerian embeds watermark into multiple lower bitplanes of digital image. In the proposed algorithm, original and watermark images are decomposed to bitplanes each other and the watermarking operation is executed in the corresponded bitplane. The position of watermark image embedded in each bitplane is used to the watermarking key and executed in multiple lower bitplane which has no an influence on human visual recognition. Thus this algorithm can present watermark image to the multiple inherent patterns and needs small watermarking quantity. In the experiment, the author confirmed that it has high robustness against attacks of JPEG, MEDIAN and PSNR but it is weakness against attacks of NOISE, RNDDIST, ROT, SCALE, SS on spatial domain when a criterion PSNR of watermarked image is 40dB.

This paper proposes a unique data embedding algorithm for the video sequence. It describes two processings: shot boundary detection and robust data embedding. First, for the shot boundary detection, instead of using absolute frame differences, block by block based relative frame differences are employed. Frame adaptive thresholding values are also employed for the better detection. Second, for the robust data embedding, we generate message template and then convolve and correlate it with carrier signal. And then we embed data on the time domain video sequence. By using these two methods, watermarks into randomly selected frames of shots. Watermarks are detected well even if several certain shots are damaged because we embed watermark into each shot equally.

본 논문에서는 MPEG-21 Digital Item Adaptation(DIA)에 의한 워터마크 신호의 영향을 실험하고 분석한다. MPEG-21 DIA에서는 다양한 소비환경에 맞게 멀티미디어 컨텐츠를 변할 수 있는 기능들을 제공하고 있다. 그러나 컨텐츠 변환기능들은 저작권 보호를 위해 컨텐츠에 삽입된 워터마크신호를 홰손시킬 수 있으므로, DIA 환경에서 워터마킹기술을 사용하기 위해서는 워터마킹기술에 대한 DIA의 영향을 분석할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 일반적으로 널리 알려진 대표적인 워터마킹기술을 이용하여 MPEG-21 DIA에서 정의하고 있는 각각의 적응변환기능에 대한 워터마크의 강인성을 실험하여, 그 결과를 바탕으로 DIA 환경에서 워터마킹기술을 적용할 때 필요한 요구사항을 분석하였다.

최근 정지영상, 동영상, 음성 등의 멀티미디어 컨텐트가 디지털화 되고 네트워크가 발달함에 따라 영상을 포함한 멀티미디어 데이터의 접근이 용이해 졌다. 이러한 데이터의 불법적 사용과 인위적인 조작으로부터 소유권과 저작권을 효율적으로 보호하기 위한 워터마킹 기술이 많이 연구되고 있다. 일반적으로 정지 영상 및 음성에 대한 워터마킹 기술은 많이 연구가 되었지만 이러한 방법을 동영상에 그대로 적용하기에는 실시간 처리에 적용하기가 힘들다는 큰 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 비디오 신호에서의 빠른 처리과정과 실시간으로 워터마크를 삽입하고, 원 영상 없이 워터마크를 추출 할 수 있는 새로운 방법(Blind Watermarking)을 제안하고자 한다. 제안한 방법은 대역확산을 근거로 하여 워터마크 은닉 과정에서 치환(Permutation) 과정과 LSB 부호화 방법을 이용하여 비디오 시퀀스의 모든 I-프레임에 은닉한다. 복원과정은 모든 I-프레임에서 LSB 복호화와 역 치환 과정을 거쳐 본래의 저작권 정보를 추출한다. 제안한 방법을 여러 가지 동영상 비디오에 적용해 본 결과 기존의 워터마킹 방법보다 효율적이고 시각적 손상이 없었으며 빠른 실시간 처리가 가능함을 볼 수 있었다.

강인성을 포함한 비인지성(imperceptibility)과 계산량(complexity)은 비디오 워터마킹 시스템에 있어서 중요한 항목으로, 이러한 항목은 워터마킹 시스템의 설계시 고려하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 적절한 비인지성과 계산량을 제공하기 위해 3개의 연속된 프레임을 이용하는 비디오 워터마킹 시스템을 제안한다. 특히, 워터마크를 삽입할 영역 R을 3개의 프레임 f(t), f(t+1), f(t+2)로부터 구성하고, 워터마크를 구성된 영역 R의 DCT 계수들에 삽입한다. 제안 방식은 프레임 간의 특징을 이용 워터마킹 삽입 영역 R을 구성함으로써, 좋은 화질을 제공함과 동시에 MPEG-2 압축 및 프레임 공격에 대한 강인성을 제공함을 실험에 의해 확인한다.

This paper describes a watermarking system that has the robust characteristics against the geometric attacks of resizing and the bitrate varying attacks. While the existing watermark methods of marking on AC in DCT coefficients are weak against the geometric attacks, the methods of tiny increasing the DC in DCT coefficients and the system implementations are suggested in this paper. We measure the differences between the original images and the watermarked images and the detecting rate from the geometric and bitrate attacked images. Results of experiments show that our method is robust against that attacks.

In this out watermarking method, a key is determined by quantizing the maximum motion difference between frames. We have a problem the key value for embedding and detection are different in 1 to 3% frames of all frames. This problem can be easily solved by using a new key according to bit error rate of the extracted watermark. Since the watermark is embedded in each frame nth different keys and detected In all the frames, out method is resistant against attacks such as the frame averaging and frame drop.
