In this paper, we focus on digital watermarking for color images. At first, in order to embed the watermark signal in color image, we converted RGB color space to YCbCr color space which is a world-wide digital component video standard. In addition, we adopted the acceptable degree of color difference in order to keep the invisibility.

A new approach of error concealment using a digital watermarking technique for interframe video coding is presented in this paper. In the proposed method, the most important feature of the reference frame is extracted. Then, this feature is embedded into the prediction error of current frame prior to transmission. Error concealment is achieved by means of recovering the erroneous reference frame using the embedded data before the reconstruction of current frame is performed. Simulation results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method.

컴퓨터의 발전과 정보통신의 급속한 발달로 인하여 사회 전반에 네트워크 기반의 멀티미디어 기술 확산과 다양한 디지털 이미지 기술의 사용이 대폭 늘어나면서 멀티미디어 컨텐츠의 보호에 대한 필요성이 대두되었다. 이러한 멀티미디어 데이터에 대한 저작권 보호(copyright protection)를 위해서는 이미지의 내용 인증(content authentication)과 소유권 인증(ownership authentication), 불법 복제(illegal copy) 등을 확인할 수 있는 인증 기술(authentication techniques)이 요구된다. 기존의 워터마킹 기술에 대한 많은 연구들은 정지영상에 대한 것이 대부분이다. 본 논문에서는 멀티미디어 컨텐츠인 동영상 데이터를 훼손하지 않고 저작권 정보를 삽입하여 저작권을 보호하며, 인간 중심의 시각 시스템의 관점에서 주파수 기반의 워터마크인 웨이브릿 변환 워터마킹을 통한 동영상 데이터의 저작권 보호를 위한 기법을 제시한다.

본 논문에서는 적응적 임계값과 반화소 움직임 벡터를 이용한 비디오 워터마킹 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 방법은 모든 매크로블록에 대해 워터마크삽입 조건을 검색하고, 임의의 움직임 벡터에 워터마크가 삽입되므로 움직임 벡터 변경이 많고, 비가시성이 떨어진다. 제안한 방법은 PMV를 이용하여 임계값을 생성하고, 임계값보다 큰 움직임 벡터에 워터마크를삽입하므로 움직임 벡터 변경 횟수가 적고, 비가시성이 향상된다. 실험결과 제안한 방법은 바디오 비트스트림에 따라 평균 5.4 dB ~ 9.3 dB 의 비가시성 특성이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

Depending on the characteristics of each 3D-DCT block, images can be classified into three types: images with motion and textures, images with high textures and little motion, images with little textures and little motion. In this paper, we propose an adaptive watermarking method using these characteristics of each 3D-DCT block. and the human visual system. The proposed method classifies patterns of 3D-DCT blocks based on the motion and texture information, and classifies the image type according to the ratio of these patterns. The watermark is inserted proportional to the 3D-DCT coefficients by using pattern adaptive JND, which. makes the proposed watermarking robust by inserting watermarks in as many blocks as possible. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves better performance in terms of invisibility and robustness than the previous method.

In this paper. we proposed a hardware(H/W) structure which can compress the video and embed the watermark in real time operation and implemented it into a FPGA platform using VHDL(VHSIC Hardware Description Language). All the image processing element to process both compression and reconstruction in a FPGA were considered each of them was mapped into H/W with the efficient structure for FPGA. The global operations of the designed H/W consists of the image compression with the watermarking and the reconstruction, and the watermarking operation is concurrently operated with the image compression. The implemented H/W used the 59％(12943) LAB(Logic Array Block) and 9％(28352) ESB(Embedded System Block) in the APEX20KC EP20K600CB652-7 FPGA chip of ALTERA, and stably operated in the 70㎒ clock frequency over. So we verified the real time operation, 60 fields/sec(30 frames/sec).

This paper proposes a new watermarking algorithm to embed watermarks in thr process of sample adaptive offsets (SAO) for high efficiency video coding (HEVC) compressed videos. The proposed method embeds two-bit watermark into the SAO offsets for each coding tree unit (CTU). To minimize visual quality degradation caused by embedding watermark, watermark bits are embedded into SAO offset depending on the SAO types of block. Furthermore, the embedded watermark can be extracted by simply adding four offsets and checking their least significant bits (LSB) at the decoder side. The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves 0.3% BD-rate increase without much visual quality degradation. Two-bit watermark for each CTU is embedded for more bit watermarking. In addition, the proposed method requires negligible computational load for watermark insertion and extraction.

Because of the rapid growth of Internet and multimedia applications, how to protect IPR (intellectual property rights) has become a critical issue. Is one of the ways to overcome the problem of the protection of IPR. Digital watermarking call be applied to multimedia data, such as digital images, digital video, and digital audio. In this paper, we propose a digital watermarking technique for digital images to authenticate an owner or an image by embedding visually recognizable patterns, such as logos, signatures, or stamps into images In BDCT (block discrete cosine transform) frequency domain. The proposed method sorts the components of an original image twice. At the same time, the method, also, rearranges the components of a watermark twice in order to be more robust, and finally embeds the watermark into the image. From the experimental results, the conjunction of three similarity measurements shows that our proposed method is robust to image cropping, image filtering, and JPEG (the Joint Photographic Experts Group) both subjectively and objectively.
